CDV Failure!

So I did the CDV DIY and failed at it. I mean everything went super smooth till the bleed. We tried bleeding it for about 2 hours with no luck. It was the pedal method. I also tried the vacuum method hooked up to the bleed nipple with no luck. PLEASE HELP!

I do not have access to a Motive Power bleeder.

We finally stopped after pumping the clutch then opening the bleed valve, which we heard air coming out every time, but fluid is not coming out at all anymore. It's just air EVERY TIME. We must have done it 50-60 times. At first it was a little fluid but then ALL AIR. I feel like a failure, but my buddy who was helping me said the BMW bleed is like no other after doing this today. His bleed is SUPER EASY. The BMW is HELL.
