I just did mine, glad to help if I can.
I have the BavAuto setup, uses low pressure and a screw on reservoir cap.

that would be very nice - I've got the fluid, just not the tools/know how. How long do you think it takes? Any time this week or next week?
I'm considering getting the motive power bleeder black label or w/e for european cars

Under an hour, once it's on jackstands. I pulled all the wheels off since I was rotating them, also makes it easy to get to the bleeders. Let me check on a day. I'm in Lake st louis area.

Awesome. That's about ~30mi from me. No problem pulling off the wheels, and I can bring stands and jack if need be. I'm only free during the week. Let me know!
