Brake/Clutch Flush Question

When flushing brakes every 2 years (on a 2006 Z4MR) is it necessary to bleed the clutch? Looked at pass posts, one says it's not, the other addresses bleeding the clutch. If it's not required maintenance I'd rather not do it. Any help would be appreciated.
Thank, Mike.

The fluid in the clutch line and slave cylinder won't be replaced which isn't much as far as volume but if you're good with that than I wouldn't worry about it. It's not a big deal to drain the clutch hydraulics they actually make it pretty simple with the bleeder screw pretty accessible.

I did the clutch / brake flush today. Wasn't bad. Time consuming taking wheels off/on, cleanup of pressure bleeder. But what else is there to do? Isolation sucks, but needs to be done.
Thanks for the input, stay healthy Mike.
