I did notice when I formatted from the car pdr software. I could no longer read the card from a Mac, but still could from a win11 PC. I decided to reformat with the Mac which then all systems can use and see.

The iOS iPhone and iPad versions also show the mismatch between telemetry and video. In fact the car itself show the same mismatch it when played back in car. So I suspect there is a bug that the original recording might be off in the pdr 2.5. Hopefully they fix that in the car recorder unless...

I hear the high pitched squeal sporadically in your video too but I’m not sure if that was the noise you were trying to show, as I also hear this occasional grumble where it sounds like dirt in a bearing sound.

Any update on this? I notice on a cold start with my 5BW there is some intermittent chirping/squeak from the engine. Very noticeable with windows down in a parking garage. With windows up it insulates enough you can’t hear it. The squeak is more obvious when you start to go letting up on the...

This can’t be for the ct5 bw as it has a single sport mode and 2 race modes, unlike this chart.

after playing around with my 2026 more while in V mode, I now see that ptm wet forces sport suspension, and the rest of the ptm settings force track suspension. Ptm seems to have control over the suspension setting. By the way, I have the precision package so not sure if that changes the setting...

I tried playing with the ptm settings in my 2026 5BW. I don’t know how to get ptm to turn on with any suspension setting other than track stiffness. In v mode if I turn on ptm mode, it forces suspension to track. If I push sport suspension setting when ptm is engaged, it turns off ptm mode. If...

Are they compatible both ways? Exactly the same dimensions and either can fit any model year 5BW with CCB? Anyone have any pad life estimates with CCB not doing track days?

For wheels I only need a single corner at a time anyway, no need for tire rotation on this car. The 4 wheels up was a concern on getting a level car for diff maintenance. And for oil changes the ramp is enough.

I think I have another safer idea. I can get the 10” race ramp tire cribs. I have existing race ramps I can drive the fronts onto. Then use the jack to raise up each rear side to get the cribs under the rear tires. That would get the car level for sure and be safer than trying to put jack stands...

Hmm. I didn’t expect that the Rennstand top piece would not clear the mount point. Good to know. Thinking now if I don’t buy anything new, anyone know a good way to lift all 4 wheels up on the 5BW with a single low profile jack and 4 regular height esco jack stands? I was contemplating the...

Perfect, I already have that jack so no more guessing if it’ll fit. But do you need 2? You can’t lift one corner at a time with one? I plan to do 4 jackstands to get the car level. Do you mean the zl1 addons stealth lift pad or some other one of their products? If the stealth lift pad is...

I’m looking into the Rennstand, does anyone use it with the 5BW and can comment which adapter is ideal? Best if the universal pinch weld adapter works without issue because then I don’t need to get any secondary lift pads as well.

Strange how we get such different readings, I wonder how accurate the dip stick is. Unless I drained more oil out than usual due to being done on ramps and also spending time installing the tire air deflectors after starting the drain. I wasn’t even getting any drips by the time I got back to...

I changed mine today, put in 9 quarts, after driving around the block to check for leaks and reparking in my garage, waited 4 hours and checked the level. It seemed to be about 5 grid squares down from full, so about 2/3 of the way up. I guess I’ll just monitor from there rather than break...
