Bleeder Valve orientation?

In your pics and on my 88 325iC the slave cylinder bleeder valve points down. Is this the proper way to orient it? How do you remove air bubbles sitting in the fluid chamber above the bleeder? Thx!

Typically on hydraulic systems the bleeder valve *should* be located on the top of the cylinder. Indeed, this is so that you can bleed the cylinder and remove bubbles from the line. I'm not sure if yours is installed upside down (I'm not even sure if that is possible). I would remove it and see if you can orient it with the bleeder valve on top.
