Does anybody know the the answer to this? It certainly drives like it has one, that or the lack of power of this heavy beast makes it feel as so....
I've searched and didn't come up with anything...

It's funny you posted this. I was wondering about this yesterday. I suspect it does. It sure feels like it does.
My S2000 had one but it wasn't that bad. But still many people pulled them out.
I'll have to look in my service manual when I get home and see if they mention it.

For someone who knows how to drive a clutch without shocking the drivetrain, a clutch delay valve can actually increase clutch disc and flywheel wear. Unless somebody has been there done that, I'll crawl under there this weekend and find out. I'll remove it and be the guinea pig. I'm sure somebody has checked this out already thou....
I wouldn't be surprised if I find one....lifetime powertrain warranty is only good on the drivetrain and motor, not the clutch friction surfaces....a CDV can protect the driveline from abrupt shifts and clutch pops.

Anxious to see if it does have one - that may be the reason I am having issues with the clutch as I've not had a vehicle with one before. (I stall this thing all the time.)

That was my problem with the M3, that and it felt like I was slipping it all the time when parking the car. It just felt different then what I was used to with a normal setup. Sure enough I checked the bmw forums checked and it had one. Too bad I removed it way too late and need to replace the clutch now.
