You can do a brake flush yourself, it super easy. Just get one of those Motive brake bleeders and some DOT 4 fluid and you can do it in less than an hour your first time.

First, Ash is right... With the right tools it takes an hour or less. Second, that brake flush price is ridiculously high. For reference, the dealer I was service manager of for years charged $99.95 for a brake flush. Coolant flushes can take a little longer, but I'd say $125-150 is the going rate for those. The R56 actually has its fair share of coolant leak issues, so I'd recommend that you take it to the dealer to see if anything is wrong and get them to flush it and bleed the system if everything checks out. I doubt they'll charge more than $150 for those services. Honestly, most dealers are trying to stay competitive on regular maintenance costs, so it's rare you'll spend less for those services elsewhere.
