Do I need to bleed my clutch when I do a brake fluid change?

I am in the process of plotting out changing my 6MT tranny fluid, rear diff fluid, brake fluid, and power steering fluid.

I'm going to use a harbor freight vaccuum tool that you hook up to an air compressor (seems like a much better solution than the motive pump)..

Anyway I'm getting hung up on bleeding the manual tranny basically because I can't find any straight answers on if it's easy to do, easy to get to, etc...

So if I bled all my brakes but ignored the clutch .. am I selling myself short?

I have an 2007 e92 335i 6MT

When I did my clutch delay valve delete I did see that the bleeder is easily accessible. Next time I do my fluid I will do my clutch as well. Is it needed? Not sure. Is it part of the same system of lines that BMW reccomends changing?, yes.
