Interesting, I had my 1988 190E and my 1996 E320 religously serviced by the dealer. In the over 5 years (12 for the 190) and about 100,000 miles I put on each while I owned them, not once did the dealer do or recommend a brake flush. Maybe it was done as part of a x,000 mile service, but it was never listed on the receipt (and the other services were).

I'm not arguing against doing it, just relating my experiences with other cars.
