Weird brake messages

2011 x5d 59,500 miles. I bought in Dec 2016 with 42,500 miles. It had new brakes and tires when I purchased. I started getting idrive message about changing brake fluid a week ago (I added a ounce or two) , now I'm getting change pad message. Idrive says I still have 27,000 miles until pads need changing. I am doing complete fluid change on vehicle this week. Everything, tranny, diff, TC, coolant, brake fluid, power steering, 12 pack or two of Becks for me.


Question is, and may be stupid but can you just bleed these brakes like in the old days, crack bleeder valve while someone pumps brakes. Seems simple but Being BMW I not 100% sure. I've searched on here for brakes but it seemed all were pads and bedding the pads and rotors. I've also read and watched 100 tutorials on everything else I'm going to change.

Thanks, Kevin
Wow after searching some more I found this https://xoutpost.com/bmw-sav-forums/...problem-9.html now I'm even more scared.
