I did my first brake bleed on my F80 last week. One suggestion that I would make is to use a knife to trim the four barbs on the spokes of the filter "basket" that sits in the reservoir opening. Those barbs make taking the basket out (to siphon the old fluid) a PITA.
Also, this was the first track event where the organizers tested my brake fluid. It turns out that you can buy a tester for $15 through amazon, so I imagine that track rats will be seeing this more and more. We were required to allow access to the reservoir (I overlooked that detail). This meant that I had to remove the black plastic cover over the brake fluid reservoir. Because of this, I'll likely cut an access hole and create a makeshift cover to simplify the bleeding and testing processes.
