Helped me heaps (m235i). Was able to do from the back, through removing the wheel arch. To remove the bumper washer cover, I used a plastic card to push it forward and grab it then unclip it. Big thanks from France.

I see you start with the outside bleed valve. I've seen others that say, start on the inside. Does it really make a difference? Is it that the fluid goes from the back to the front of the caliper on the bottom, and then the "old" fluid is on the inside waiting to be flushed? What is best?
