All you have to do is remove the valve and bolt the line back together, then re-bleed the system. You can also pull the CDV out and simply drill the hole out to the size of the clutch line and then put it back in. The one Riss and others sell are just stock units that have been drilled out - anyone can do it. This also keeps things looking stock so if anything clutch-wise goes wrong BMW can't see it was modified.

It defintely makes a difference, I did it on my old E46 M3 and will be doing it on my new E92 shortly!

Hope this helps...
awesome post. thanks!

It also makes the shift from first to second much smoother and easier. It's really quite an easy mod to do, and there is no need to buy the aftermarket parts, just drill the existing one out or simply remove it. Hope this helps...
again awesome. can u help me do mine?

Frankly, I felt no difference when I had my E46 M3 one removed after warranty.
on 335 it makes a huge difference. it's worth a shot if it's improves the 1-2 shifts. this + RE ssk that's coming out should make me hella happy
