Owner notes beat generic advice here. On the 2020 BMW M2 in NYC, I'd fix the thing you'll notice every day before chasing spec-sheet extras. That's where I'd start. On “brake fluid is old but still looks,” that was the fork that mattered for me. Learned this the expensive way on a previous car. Climate here is different, so treat that as a local data point. That's my plan before I call anyone.

I'd keep this practical. Verify the cheap/easy branch on the 2020 BMW M2 before a big repair or a big spend. That's where I'd start. If it doesn't change the out-the-door or the repair estimate, it's noise. Your commute and mine probably aren't the same, but the test still applies. Doing the boring step first on purpose.

Don't overfit one forum story to your car. If it still isn't clear on the 2020 BMW M2, a specialist hour can be cheaper than another round of parts. That's where I'd start. This is from a 2020 BMW M2 in NYC. If it doesn't change the out-the-door or the repair estimate, it's noise. If the story changes I'll post the new data.
