Tech data on Brake Fluid replacement/bleeding

So I'm gonna go for performance brake fluid and replacing the OEM rubber brake lines for Steel Braded. I've never bled or replaced brake fluid. Does anyone have tech data or specific insctrutions for the M3 so don't mess it up? Thanks for the help fella's.

Speed bleeders

Another method you should consider is using speed bleeders in place of the standard bleed screw. A lot less messy than pressure or vacuum bleeders, little chance of major fluid spill or introducing micro bubbles.

There are two (that I know of): one made by Earl's and the other by Speed Bleeder.
