1) Hardware store.
2) Yes 3) 10 to 12, go till you see new fluid. 4) Yes, replace you pads first What car? Do you have ABS? If so after bleeding go out and romp on the brakes to activate the ABS a couple times then re-bleed. This gets the old fluid out of the ABS actuator |

Fuel pumps in BMWs can be problematic, if hte person runs the tank low. They are mounted in the fuel tank, and cooled with fuel. So running low reduces cooling of the pump motor.
While I agree with JohnV intellectually on the pushing the piston back in, I just shove them back in most times.

The ABS question has been debated, and again - although it's technically "better" to actuate the ABS, it's very common in local club BMWs to just bleed them normally. Again I know a lot of BMWs from E30s to M coupes that have logged a lot of track miles with normal bleeding on ABS setups.

If you get into ABS between flushes, you are flushing the ABS system.
Or if you are truely an*l, flush, go out and activate the ABS 5 - 6 times, then flush again.
