or pulling or vacuuming from the left  caliper and not touching the 
right?

Or should I just replace the BUM  bleeder (with one of the half dozen 
part numbers??? or a garden-variety 10-1  ?? bleeder) and do it like my 
grandparents done it?

The manual says  to change the fluid every year. Sure.>>

The BMW  system is a pressure bleeder that uses a special master cylinder cap 
and forces  the fluid down through the system and out the funky fitting.
