Slicone brake fluid

["John C. Bowne" <jbowne@xxxxxxxx>]

I know that the BMW manual calls for replacing the brake fluid every two 
years.  I have assumed that is because regular brake fluid is hygroscopic 
and absorbs water from the air.  Is it possible to replace the regular 
brake fluid with silicone brake fluid that is not hygroscopic to get longer 
life?  Does BMW approve of this?
