Any one used the two person pump method to bleed an e46? The Bentley says take it to the dealer for the modic i guess to cycle the abs. I do my e36 and e30 and never had a problem, but thought BMW may have changed something.

My bro has an E46328ci and our mechanic has bled the brakes without the BMW dealer fancy machine. He uses a simple pressure bleeder.
The 2 person method, pressure bleeder, or vaccum bleeder should work fine for a general flush of the system.
The fancy machine that the dealers have are only really necessary if you have swapped out a major component of the brake system (e.g. master cylinder, new calipers) which introduces a lot of air into the system.

Or if you want to make sure you flush the fluid in the ABS system.
You can also flush, go out and cycle hte ABS a few times, then flush again.
