I wanted to thank everyone who contributed to this thread, it was my primary source of information going after the CDV on my M2. I am so much happier with the car now, and I can't thank you guys enough.
I did a writeup on the experience with some pics and thoughts that I haven't seen elsewhere, so I thought I'd post a link here for future reference. https://f87.bimmerpost.com/forums/sh....php?t=1625114 |

I bought a new slave cyl and yanked the cdv and rubbwr gasket out. Got it installed with my new clutch and DMF. Seems to be running great but I'll be taking it easy for a few 100km before really testing

@codestar , thanks for the genius obvious not so obvious idea of just buying a new clutch slave cylinder. I was hesitant to do this mod because removing the old slave cylinder is beyond my pay grade. But I can definitely remove a rubber thingy and the metal washer thingy. Here is a simple way to remove them: just thread a screw in there and pull. I posted a new thread on this but I also wanted to reply here. No drilling required.

So I'm going to try this soon. I have 2 brake flush jobs to do and figure this would be a nice way to use up the remaining fluid.
A few questions: 1. Is it possible to remove the components without removing the slave cylinder? Just stick a screw in there and pull out the washer and the rubber grommet? 2. How much fluid did you guys end up using to bleed the system? It'll likely be a 1 man job for me unless I can convince the wife to hop in while the car is in the air. 3. I'll clamp the feed line, but any other tips/tricks to minimize air getting into the slave? |

Just picked up the car yesterday. The clutch pedal seems to stiffen up after driving for a few minutes. Is this normal? I can't tell if the the pedal feel is normal when it stiffens up or if the pedal feel is normal before stiffening up. It's not super-stiff. When I say stiff, it's more of a springy feel, as opposed to when I just start driving it feels softer.

Doesn't hurt to wait, but at the end of the day, it shouldn't change. At some point it needs to be bled more, whether the bubbles worth themselves out or you do it manually.

Amazing thread and amazing work by everyone involved. I removed my CDV today and thanks to all of you it went like clockwork. I did not remove the slave and instead used a screw to take out the rubber piece. Once it was out, the metal restrictor was just laying in the slave. I hooked the edge of it with my pinky nail and it fell out. The bottom bolt of the slave has to be removed because the line support bracket is held by it. A 6” 3/8 extension with 13 mm deepwell fit the space just right. The hose is rubber (no Teflon or braiding) so it can be clamped to stop fluid loss. I used vice grips at the slave end of the line to keep the most possible fluid in the system. I had 100% succes with zero issues using the pedal to bleed the air. It took 8-10 striokes with the bleeder cracked and the air was gone. I used a traditional brake bleed bottle with a little fluid in the bottom. Im not sure if i was just lucky or what but it bleed like any clutch I’ve ever worked on.
Ive had this car (328i sportline) for just over a year and love most everything about it except for the clutch. The clutch is (was) so terrible that I was thinking about selling the car. To do so would be a huge deal for me as it’s my seventh 3series and I live and breathe BMW. If you’re not happy with your clutch and wondering if removing the restrictor is the right move, I’m confident it is. The clutch now works like a clutch. It’s smooth, predictable, and fun. I’m so happy with the results. I should mention, once the car was on jackstands, the total job took an hour and 15. It was super quick (leave the slave in).

Can I bother you to give a bit of a step by Step with a bit more detail on the bleeding method you had success with? That is the one part I have always had the most concern with and has had me hesitant to do this on my car.

Finally got around to doing it and made a video using the screw method. That top bolt is near impossible to access, so I'd say this is way easier than swapping slave cylinders.
