Will have to check the Bentley later on for when my water pump fails. I'm at 57K mi, so it can't be long now...

I think the correct way is to leave the bleeder screw open or remove it - until all the air bubbles escape(during the cycling of the e-water pump). I normally even re-bleed the cooling system the next day on my e39 - after working on the cooling system. The system always tends to "burp" itself after a day or two of driving(e39).
