Hey guys, I have a 2008 535i 6-sp manual on the way and would be very interested in this mod combo. The Roque SSK sounds to be new shift linkage (shorter throw/more positive shifting)? And I'm still not quite certain what the CDV is but is it best to just remove it...or replace with a bored unit? Is the CDV a hydraulic fluid limiter of some sort? Thanks for your patience - found this thread via the search function!

Dave does not list the 535 but maybe he hasn't updated his site since the 535 came out. Give him a call, he is a very informative guy about a lot of things and will gladly share info with you.

AlB - thank you!! Excellent Link - really explains everything about the CDV!
Appreciate the assistance and am going to check into ordering one for my 535i - sounds like that small valve takes all the enjoyment out of the manual transmission... 
Al - had to report back on what a great guy Dave (Zeckhausen) he called back about my '08 535 CDV inquiry and we must have spoken for 15 mins...very knowledgable guy!! Look forward to doing business with him for sure.
