I'm curious, why are you going to use ATE instead of the BMW? Better specs?

Meets DOT 4 spec, low viscosity, slightly higher wet boiling point and a bit cheaper per oz. Here's the "advantages" listed for SL.6 from FCP Euro's website, which I would take with a grain of salt as some can be good marketing spin:
"Advantages of ATE SL.6:
Low viscosity (thin-bodied)
Permits fastest response by ESP
Optimum brake fluid for electronic brake systems like ESP, ABS, TCS, etc.
Improved handling safety owing to speedy response of ESP
Most vehicle manufacturers already use the low-viscosity DOT 4, Class 6 (ISO 4925) brake fluids in production cars (OEM and OES)"
You won't go wrong with BMW brake fluid for daily use/spirited roadway driving applications.
