Brake fluid flush / change
I've been told changing brake fluid is important to do 1-2 times a year. Looks fairly simple with a pressure tank and some patience. I didn't find a DIY on Benzworld, suggestions anybody? What's recommended for service and DIY method to change?

You must have missed them.
In the W210 forum check out the DIY sticky for brakes. There are procedures for using a bleeder, how to make your own bleeder and a MB approved manual procedure.
As mentioned, all most all car manufacturers recommend flushing the brake fluid every two years regardless of mileage. Recommended fluid is DOT4+ or DOT 4 LV. The LV is best if you have the ESP option.
