All you do is remove the valve and reinstall the line into the master cylinder and voila perfect shifting. My old CDV valve is in the garbage and my wallet still has the $60 in it that I was thinking about spending on the Zechhausen unit. Cheers!

I found that out the hard way myself, when my mechanic was bleeding the brakes/clutch and installing the CDV for me he said "you know you probably can just thread the line back in the master" and I was like "ah just put the valve in anyway"
Every manual X5 needs their CDV deleted though you are right!
