My Ride: OLD RIDE- 2004 Titanium Silver Metallic 545I, Sports Package, 6 Speed Manual Transmission, Premium Sound, Cold Weather Package, Folding Rear Seats.
NEW RIDE- 2005 Silver Gray Metallic 545I, Sports package, 6 Speed manual Transmission, Premium Sound, Navigation, Cold Weather Package, Folding Rear Seats, Heated Rear Seats and Park Distance Control.
Does anyone know of a shop in Northern Virginia that can remove the CDV (clutch delay valve)? Based on what I've read it seems to be a small but very worthwhile MOD for BMWs with manual transmission resulting in smoother shifting and faster clutch engagement. All help is appreciated.

wealth of info on
Zeckhausen website
they can get you a modified one, or on most cars, you can just leave it out.
If you are still under warranty the modified one might be the better solution, as it still will look stock, should you have a clutch related problem under warranty.wealth of info on
