Oh I know what an e30 is & I knew that you had air in both.
But anytime you or "itsnoe30" talk about them I always question why because I don't get why anybody under the age of 80 years old would want one & I just like giving you 2 a hard time.

They're cheap, faster than slow, and very mechanically durable. The only thing I'll say about German electronics is the windows and sunroof still work; as far as the e30 community is concerned, that puts me ahead of the game.

Oh...they take boost like a champ, too. I'm definitely going to have to wear the flamesuit if I start posting about my budget turbo build in the FI section here. OH NOESSSS! CHEAP PARTS!!! CHINA!!!!!!

Fast, Cheap, Reliable - they're all subjective

Just an update - I only got the MC on my S2000 bled this past weekend. I was definitely able to get some air out of the system, but in the process induced some into the lines. I bled them once, but I wasn't able to get it all out. I'm going to gravity bleed them some tonight after work.

No worries - I was pretty diligent this time! Unfortunately, I didn't have very much brake fluid, so I was only able to bleed them all for about 5 min. each. A couple REALLY small (~1-2mm) bubbles came out of one. I'm going to give it another go tonight.

Just an update - I bled the brakes again, noticed some more improvement. I attended an Auto-x with the Corvette club this weekend, and it gave my brakes a serious work out (I was worried about cooking the fluid lol). They're feeling pretty good now.

Thanks everyone!

if there was any air I would be certain to do a thorough bleeding as the slightest bit of air means more than likely moisture which will lead to corrosion and eventually caliper failure/ceizure.

At this point, they're pretty thoroughly bled. I might give it another shot this weekend, since I'll be checking my alignment, anyways.
