CDV delete

WAY · 07-08-2008, 07:21 PM

I have been caught up with the DP that I forgot to mention that I also bought the modified CDV from Riss Racing and got it installed by Andrew at the same time. For anyone who hates the fact that you have to keep the rev up to pull away smoothly, and annoy with not being able to fast shift into second, this is a product for you! I don't understand why BMW put that stupid thing in the first place. :iono:

professor · 07-08-2008, 07:25 PM

geez wayne, you are making the already painful wait for me absolutely unbearable. i have the cdv and cc sitting next to me collecting dust and my car is collecting dust at the docks!

WAY · 07-08-2008, 07:27 PM

Haha the good thing for you is that you are going to install the CDV delete right away, whereas I stupidly drove around in my car for 1 month with the stupid OE CDV. It actually wears out the clutch more on the track with the factory CDV!

Kris · 07-08-2008, 08:15 PM

They put it there to increase the life of the syncros/gearbox apparently..

WAY · 07-08-2008, 08:16 PM

But you wear out your clutch in the mean time? Makes no sense to me. Have you done yours Kris?

Hi guys, sorry for sounding nieve and I know it must be here on the forum somewhere, but can someone please explain what this CDV is all about ?? does it only affect manuals ??

TIA :smile:

Maybe another reason for going for the Auto??? :wink:

Steve135i · 07-08-2008, 10:09 PM

Will the cdv delete mod mess with warranty. Maybe the auto is an option to consider, even though I am a spaz that loves shifting and chewing my nails.

LOL I was going to mention that in my 2nd post above, but thought it wasn't necessary as most people here own or want to buy the manual :smile:

Still good to know for all auto owners/future buyers it's one trans 'glitch' not to worry about...

Kris · 07-08-2008, 10:22 PM

Wayne, nup. I find the gearbox perfect as BMW have designed it.. same unit in the M3. If its good enough for the M3 and works fine for me, why change parts of it?

harpoon · 07-09-2008, 01:12 AM

I didn't think the m3 had the cdv though?

WAY · 07-09-2008, 01:29 AM

No I don't think the M3 has the CDV. Kris, if you are in Melb, please come and drive my car. You will see the difference! Or maybe someone in Sydney will do the mod.

Good try Professor. Now go stand in the corner for being naughty! (I am practicing my parenting skill for when OlieWAY grows up haha)

professor · 07-09-2008, 04:39 AM

Zuzu · 07-09-2008, 05:11 AM

By the looks of Wayne garage you can actually get lost in it Prateek..:biggrin:

Kris · 07-09-2008, 05:38 AM

*laughs* Ok Wayne, ill take you up on it next time we visit family in Glen Iris - you near there?

WAY · 07-09-2008, 05:57 AM

Cool. Are you actually a Melbournian??? I am in the city. Not that far from Glen Iris.

andrew@southernBM · 07-09-2008, 06:07 AM

Melbourne 1 Addicts catch up it is then, i am in.....

WAY- I am interested to see your feedback on the CDV, interesting points.

WAY · 07-09-2008, 06:17 AM

Andrew, I like the clutch take up a lot more now. It used to be crap, and the car shifts smoother than ever. More like any other car then.
