I did mine completely the "wrong" way compared to what you'll see BMW forum people worrying about. I just cut the two hoses, filled the banjo bolts with JB-weld, topped off the rack with fluid, and cranked 'em back on there. Sealed. No loop. Full of fluid. That was over 3 years ago and it's still feeling great. Still full of fluid too when I checked a year or so ago. Smooth and easy to to steer at anything over 1MPH.
It is my personal oppinion that you cannot do it wrong. Fluid, no fluid, or replace with grease like the bimmerworld guys used to do. Loop, no loop... vent? The vent's a new one to me. But any of them are fine.
