ABS Cycling...
From Ron Katona: Removing the ABS pump motor relay located in the fuse box and applying 12v to pin 2 of the socket will activate the ABS hydraulic pump. I assume this is what you're referring to? But what about the valves in the ABS hydraulic unit? When you run the pump, you pressurize the ABS hydraulic unit, but are you actually cycling fluid through the unit without opening or closing the inlet and outlet valves at each line?
I've run the pump before to investigate whether this aids in bleeding, but I didn't reach any firm conclusions. I think the BMW Modic cycles the valves in a certain manner to actually flush fluid through the ABS hydraulic unit... but I could be wrong. Are you certain that simply running the ABS pump flushes the ABS system? I'd love to hear that this is the case because it's as easy as pie to get the ABS pump motor to run.

From Geof M. it's very simple. The ABS relay closest to the firewall, pull it and jump the two middle connections. If you turn the relay upside down so thatyou are looking at the prongs, you will be jumping 30 and 87 contact points. That's it!
