Cdv and ZHP

Post by Jobes » Sun Jun 11, 2017 6:06 am

Just bought and fitted a zhp gear knob and can't believe the difference something so simple makes.
I fitted it just before driving down to get my cdv done so was super happy on the way there.
After having the cdv done, wow, again what a difference. I can't believe Bmw thought it was a good idea to fit the cdv. My clutch feels lighter too as an added bonus.
Highly recommend anyone doing these little mods, makes the car so much nicer to drive :D

+1 on the ZHP. Absolutely love it.

I've thought about the CDV but so far I haven't done anything about it.

ZHP is amazing (thanks again Lewis)

Might give the CDV delete a go myself. It made a good difference on my 123d before I bought the zed
Z4 now sold :(

I also had the CDV done and fitted a ZHP knob on the same day, I agree - made a noticeable difference to shifting :driving:

Is there a guide anywhere on how to delete the CDV yourself?

Cheers,

Couldn't find one on the Forum regarding a 'Delete'. There is this one showing how to 'Modify' the CDV viewtopic.php?f=25&t=1227

And here's a YouTube guide:

Not to take away from this forum but there is a good video on YouTube by user: 'zed4me'. Search the profile and you'll find it.

I did the mod myself and it is super easy, the clutch doesn't even need bleeding afterwards. I don't know what you guys payed for it but once the car is up on stands and the metal undertray piece removed (only 4 or five bolts) you will be out in the daylight again in two minutes tops, feeling like you saved a couple of quid and have the satisfaction of a mod well done :thumbsup:

Oh dear, they must have sold out.

You could try Sopers of Lincoln (01522 690000) and tell them you are a BMW Forum member so you get a discount!

The part number is 25.11.7.896.886.

Or maybe just search on the Part # - good luck. :thumbsup:
