learned from a very very successful Speed World Challenge team that the order of bleeding isn't really that important. In fact they start closest and go to the fartherest as a matter of course - pretty amazing but they get results and yes, all manually bled.

That stated, in your particular case I would go to a shop with a quality bleeding system - the BG machine is GREAT in that it uses small amounts of brake fluid in its reservoir (about 2 litres) so you can just pour in whatever fluid you want and be done with it. This way your entire system will be purged properly. If you had mechanical skill, I would suggest doing a complete reverse flush, taking the vehicle out for a HARD stopping session and again reverse flushing.

Funny thing is I am in the brake business, just mostly on older cars, didnt know if there was something I was missing with this newer brake system. Prolly just an air pocket somewhere, especially since on the second press of the brake it has a good pedal, I am gonna try to bleed it tonight with a vacuum bleeder. Thanks for the input guys.
