Default How hard to flush brake fluid?

Will switch to SRF right away. Wasn't too difficult on the M3. I have a suction bleeder.

Or should I get the dealer to do this to cycle the ABS pump?

Pretty easy, I don't trust myself to do it but IZZONE taught me..
Same as on BMW, I imagine.

You don't need to cycle the abs unit. Same as any other car, nothing special... Don't forget the clutch if the fluid is old, too.

Im not a fan of suction bleeders just as a personal preference, I much prefer the Motive power bleeder approach:

But its all the same, you're just moving fluid through the system to get any and all air out of the system. I am quite versed in the topic right now, and it is a very simple process. not to state the obvious, but make sure you bleed both sides of each caliper.
