Anytime I've done my brakes and flushed the system, I didn't cycle ABS. The amount is so minute, it just isnt worth it to go through the coding to activate them.
Oddly, when I did the brakes on my 128i and Z4, I needed to bleed the system. I did have a soft pedal...probably compressing the piston created air within the system or something.

I know that replacing the brake lines are what led air into the system, and I can tell that there is definitely a small amount of air still in the system. I did take my car for a little drive after work. Got DSC to kick on multiple times and verified my ABS system is working. (When you trigger ABS the DSC light doesn't flicker right?). I want to say the pedal feels slightly better but I'm not sure if its in my head or not.
Either way having a squishy pedal is like waking up one morning and your right leg is all of a sudden 3/4 of an inch shorter than the left leg. It just doesn't feel right.

Hey Rob.... I replied to your PM, hopefully your indy can help, or you can get the car to a dealer for an accurate bleed. I laid out my bleed method to you step by step, and hopefully it helps. I had a MUCH better experience doing the brakes on this car than I did on the last one..
Good luck buddy and drive safe... Brakes are of course important!
