Questions for other 2.5i manual owners

The E85/86 Z4 sets off best in 2 ways.
Nail it, CDV is an advantage.
Baby it CDV is an advantage
Anything in between I seem to struggle with (except my 2.5i E85 that was perfect with 130,000 miles, an utter pleasure to drive)

Sorry but you're just wrong IMHO.

Why nail it and rely on the CDV when you could get the clutch fully engaged sooner then just floor it?

Let me put it this way. I have had 2 Z4 cars and I prefer them with the CDV fitted.
I feel with the 3.0si in particular you could do some serious damage without it.
(Don’t tell me you can drive better than I can, you don’t know me, I don’t know you).
Your car may also get driven by garage mechanics etc (I try to avoid this at all costs)
The difference between fitted and not fitted is barely noticeable IMO.
