Has anyone done the Clutch Delay Valve modification to an E90 (i.e., removing the original and replacing with a gutted one)?



As described at

. Instructions are for earlier models, wondering if anyone's done it with the new '06 3 series.



What tools? Where's the CDV? Bleeding is same as with other models? Will I need a PowerBleeder, or is an assistant on the clutch pedal sufficient?



Also the modified CDV from Zeckhausen looks a lot different than the other units (black plastic, with O ring). Others are plated metal.



Will be getting new E90 in about a month and this is the first thing I will be doing to it.



Thanks for any guidance.
