'Does' as in perform the labor or as in 'Modify'?

If the labor is what you mean:

'Active Autowerke' Tuning in Miami are very good in everything related to BMW & mods. they are not cheap though.

They do not modify CDV valves. Anyone in the area who does that?

Does anyone know and / or had experience with a place in the Bay Area (CA) that will install the modified CDV? I am in Mountain View for those who are familiar with this area. Thanks!

Why modify the CDV? Can't you just remove it like in the E39's?

From zeckhausen's website, they mentioned that there is a underbody shield on the e60 that must be removed and a lift was highly recommended. I don't even have a set of ramps.

Yeah... but still... that's just to get access to the CDV. I don't think you need to modify it. Just find a shop with a lift (or someone with ramps) that will remove the CDV.
