I am having my brake fluid changed on the 25th to dot 5.1 so how much will i need to buy to allow for flushing out the old and a full fill?

Also, any recommendations as to the fluid to get and where from ETA Motorsport who is doing the work wanted to put ATE (or is it ATF?) blue in but as the car is under warranty I don't want BMW kicking up a stink about different, i.e. non BMW fluid being in the car as it is blue in colour.

2 litres is more than enough for a complete reflush
