Brake fluid replacement - yes

As resported earlier, I recently had my 60K service (03 9-3 Aero V6). Partof the recommended service is brake fluid replacement. I had become sensitive to this question based on recent reading, and having just replaced the brake fluid in my BMW Z4 -- about which BMW is adamant on a 2-yr basis. I had also noticed on a recent long trip with the 9-3 that the brake pedal was becoming slightly spongy, with a small but noticeable loss of braking power.
I can confirm, following a few hundred miles of driving after my Saab service, that the brake fluid replacement was an effective move. I now have the same excellent, linear braking that was one of the reasons for my buying the car.
Short anwser here: I recommend replacing fluid no less frequently than the factory specified schedule. If you want to read up on the subject, there's plenty of data on the website and from automotive technical journalists. The fluid change is money well spent.
