CDV why?
Everyone recommends removing the cdv, which is fine in itself, but two questions 1 what improvement does removing it make? and 2 why did BMW fit it in the first place? Many thanks.

Capris are proper - they don't have a CDV!

Guess it has to go then. I have noticed that after starting off when cold, you de-clutch and it doesn't disengage smoothly, it drags and jerks before the clutch disengages. OK when hot though. I'll replace brake and clutch fluid and remove it at the same time. Thanks guys, sheesh the things we have to put up with because of the colonies
