There is one, but I still don't think that's the correct way to do it.

I actually think there might be one way valves in the system, and you'd be pushing against them to go in reverse.

In my opinion, the best way, and the way that BMW recommends, is to use a top pressure system that continuously re-fills the reservoir.

The second best approach, and the one I used, is to re-fill the reservoir every two pumps of the pedal. I did the process on my own, by simply pumping twice, refilling, pumping twice refilling all with the bleed nipple open. I let about 100ml of fluid run through the system into a bottle, then tightened the nipple and all was great.
