Does my E36 have an CDV valve?

I had it up on a lift while I was checking out some other stuff today but couldn't seem to locate it. Maybe I was looking in the wrong place. My car does have Automatic Stability Control + Traction. Does that matter? Anyway, here's a pic...

I really wanted to get it out and try it. Then I thought, why not just turn off ASC? I'm sure that'd help a little.

Yup. Take it out now!

Thanks man! It just looked nothing like I'd seen in other threads. Now I just need to figure out how to bleed the slave cylinder.

Easy.

You can use a pressure bleeder. But if you have a friend around:

Open bleed screw, have friend push clutch pedal to floor, close bleeder, let the pedal up.

Repeat until there are no bubbles coming from the slave :)

Also make sure to keep the reservoir topped up.

Reservoir? Is the clutch slave connected to the brake system?

Yup. They share the same fluid reservoir. If you look closely inside it's split in two sections. The section closest to the cabin is for the clutch. So you have to make sure that side is full.

Crazy! Thanks for all your help, man. I really appreciate it. I'm gonna try to get to this sometime this week.
