OK here is my review of the Riss Racing modified Clutch Delay Valve.:smile:
Firstly, as you can see from this thread, ordering from the website is quick and straightforward. The part arrived with me in the UK after a few days. It is the standard OEM part with the restrictive bottle-neck drilled out to a larger diameter to remove the restrictiveness. I initially believed that the restrictive CDV might be for the US market only, but it turns out I had the same part fitted to my 130i. I was not unhappy with the gearchange, but for the price of the part it seemed rude not to try it. Before having it fitted, I made a point of driving the car in a variety of conditions and mentally noted the pro’s and con’s. As an aside, I did fit a B&W short-shifter when I got the car, which was awful and made the car unrefined to drive, so I removed it within days. I have also driven an E36 M3 quite a lot, fitted with a short-shift which was fine but too notchy for the more refined 1-series IMO. This is a little off-topic but I mention it to point out that I am concerned not to detract from the high quality to the car by fitting mods that make the car rough or "rice". I had the work done by my regular independent BMW specialist as they have the facilities and I’d rather let them oversee everything on the car. It was a quick job. I took the car out with the business owner before and afterwards, and we both appreciated that there was a noticeable difference. It is not a quantum leap as some opinions I have read might suggest. For instance, no passengers of mine have ever complained about lumpy changes from 1st to 2nd, but then I suppose I drive smoothly with passengers. The clutch engagement feels more positive and instant, as you would expect it it is being allowed to release quicker. I am enjoying the gearchanges more and appreciate the difference, so I definitely give it the thumbs up as a worthwhile modification.:thumbup: One last thing. From a warranty point of view I can’t imagine it is worthwhile getting worried about. The part is visually identical in every way. I won’t be losing any sleep about this aspect.

Does the Riss CDV look the same as the OEM CDV? I want to be steath-like.

It does, because it is that part, which has been drilled out to a larger internal diameter. It doesn't get more stealth than that.
