Group Buy CDV

Post by srhutch » Mon Aug 20, 2007 1:43 pm

Anybody in the UK interested in buying a modified CDV, think we only need 3 or 4 people to make this worth it.

The actual CDV is only $35, but carriage is $78.77

I'd probably be interested if we could get the carriage down!

I've ordered one this morning, agreed the delivery @ $78.77 is a bit high, I've emailed them to clarify this. I'll let you know.

The carriage costs I got were direct from the webiste, they have advised we could order 5 without carriage going up.

Would you be wiling to add any requirements to your order if that was possible?

What does this do? Does it really make a difference to shifting?

And crucially ... is it easy to install?

I ordered mine this weekend and was quoted the same amount for P&P. It's the price on their website.

It's got to be worth seeing if they will combine the orders, or have you guys got money to throw away?

$78 for shipping :o
I enquired about one at the weekend but they were out of stock until Tuesday but if the shipping is $78 then I might be up for a group buy.

It's a 20-30 minute job but the car needs to be lifted to get at the slave cylinder. It is VERY worth it. My Z4M is WAY smoother....

The cheapest option is to remove your CDV and bore the hole slightly wider. It takes 5 minutes and costs nothing, thats what a modified CDV is anyway! The other option is to throw it in the bin, that's what I did and I've never looked back!

Sorry guys already had an email saying they'd shipped it. And I did toy with just throwing the original one away, but I'd like to keep my warranty etc.

Your warranty remains intact unless BMW can prove that a component failure was caused as a direct result of a modification that you've made, you don't even need to get your car serviced at a BMW dealership to keep the warranty but again the same rule applies. If you have a component failure and BMW can prove it was caused by poor servicing they won't replace it. The CDV is designed to give a smoother gear change by slowly applying clutch pressure when you release the pedal, it's not there to protect the drive train so I don't think you'll have any warranty problems by either modifying or binning it. Think of it as throwing away the ashtray because you don't have a need for it!
