Question Spongy brakes even after bleeding on 01 E39

I replaced my front rotors and pads on my 2001 530i Sport. Brakes went far down close to the floor for the first pump then came up. I bled all four brakes and changed the fluid. Got air out. Now they are better but the first pump goes down farther than successive pumps. Any help greatly appreciated!!!

Used Ate super blue racing fluid and Hawk HPS pads
