Default E90 (2006 330xi) CDV (Clutch Delay Valve) ?

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 http://www.zeckhausen.com/CDV.htm.

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.

removing it completely will void his warranty - if they ever figure it out,
that is why the modded ones are sold.

My 2003 330xi is out of warranty, so I just removed it, and love the
results.

I would contact zeckhausen and ask - they have helped me with info by email
many times.
good guys.
