its mineral oil.
you can use mineral oil from chemist. much much cheaper . and same thing. i would not bother to bleed it. if you do use a syringe and push the oil in .

I realize that my answer is overdue. But if you plan to bleed the clutch, you may order the bleed nipple from the BMW dealer.
Have a look at this partslist:

The bleed nipple is #8. You simply remove the grub screw and enter the bleednipple, and use it like any other. Mind you it has a lesser diameter than the brakes, so, a tube with less diameter is required if you want to avoid spillage. On the other hand, the clutch fluid is mineral, and I don't think it will cause damage to the paint.
If you intend to keep the bleed nipple in there on a permanent basis, order the dust-cap #9 as well
