If you don't mind sharing your experience while using the activation vs bleeding. I mean, when you activate the pump, does it stay ON until you turn it OFF, or it's just a burst (temporary activation), same thing for the solenoids, do they cycle on their own, or you have to click them ON-OFF manually?
Thanks.

Hello TurboBimmer,
Well i want to point out that you should proceed at your own risk, however i was brave and decided to try some of these buttons out, in fact all of them! But i was not brave enough to do any coding, not yet.
This seemed to be true for all systems i entered into, where once you click activate it'll run that decive for aprox 30 seconds each time, for my ABS, i went to the activate menu and selected ABS PUMP, then you can select the individual valves (intake and exhaust) for the caliper you're working on.
My assumption would be that the best way to bleed all your brake fluid through would be to use a pressure bleeder and work each corner one at a time, first activating the abs pump and the intake and exhaust valves at the same time. I found that I was able to cycle the abs pump, abs intake and abs exhaust valves all at the same time by clicking them one after the other.
That was my experience, I'm not if a BMW tech would chime in on exactly how they are supposed to do this at the dealer, other than them using DIS...
