I know it is a simple mod but simplicity is relative. I view "you don't have to bleed the system" with the same level of understanding as "you can wait 15,000 miles between oil changes"...

Just because someone posts something - do not believe it! There is no way you can replace or pull out the CDV without bleeding the hydraulic line to the clutch. I know I have seen some post you can... but you should not buy into that crap. IF you want your clutch to work 100% correct... BLEED YOUR CLUTCH!
I would HIGHLY recommend a "pressure bleeder" like the Motive unit before tackling this job. Its a real PITA job without using a pressure bleeder! Especially if you run the clutch slave feed line dry!! With a pressure bleeder there is no chance of that happening.
Here is how to replace or remove the factory CDV on a 135i. Its teh same for a 1M.
