In last month's Roundel, the editor offered an explanation for the CDV valve - due to the possibility of applying large amounts of torque to the differential - BMW is protecting the rear end (which would be covered under warranty) by placing a valve that actually puts more stress on the clutch (which would not be covered under (long term) warranty as a wear and tear item).
