Yeah, I read up on the topic (finally found some stuff after a long search)

I'm seriously thinking now about swapping the CDV.

Thing is, would I be able to swap the factory one back in if the car needed tranny work?

Today I actually had to floor it out of the toll booth (was nearly at rest) and I did a near-redline shift really fast from 1-2 and let off the clutch really fast (btw, my tires chirped... I get the feeling this thing can hit 60 in the mid-6s easy if not faster), something that would cause a lot of other cars to sustain clutch damage and rock. But the shift actually turned out very smooth...

It seems like BMW wants you to shift that way and has embedded a mechanism to make sure that that kind of driving doesn't damage the tranny.
However, it sounds too good to be true.

See, the problem is, I don't want to be concentrating on smooth shifts. It HAS to become second nature like it was before or I won't even think twice about throwing that piece of junk CDV out of my car.
