My 5BW displayed a white on black message on the main screen stating my power steering fluid was low, and assist would be reduced soon. Since the 5BW doesn't use steering fluid, it's more than a little strange. The message was simple text, no lights, audible or check engine light . Message also...

Partly covered on forum, but need clear answers: With the unavailability of AS tires for the 5BW, I'm looking to upsize. What're the bigger options on stock wheels, without rubbing or much odometer/speedo variation: for instance, could I go to 285/30-325/30 or what? Seems like there are several...

Well, dealer called and said the rear Bridgestones are on backorder with no date for shipping, so false alarm...Bummer..

The Bridgestone Potenza Sport AS has Arrived!! MIne are set for install 11/26..Get em while you can

Goodyear says December for the 279 and February for the 305. We'll see I suppose. Conti has not answered my inquiry as to their "coming soon" 305

Make sure your oil pan is not leaking. It's a MAJOR job to replace, requiring over 24 hours labor. There was a batch of OE pans that had porous pans, so be sure! you don't want to pay for that replacement!

A number of good points, but some missing. For one, the 5BW has sold all they can build, and I think they're doing ok on the profit margin. Also, there is plenty of disagreement as to the appearance good/bad as well as compared to the earlier series. As noted Cadillac has graduated their...

I got the Modern Tire kit too. It does take a lot of space but my wife's car has a bigger trunk anyway!!

Lockkey was distorted in the key content section, DT was able to remove the log lug nut. You can google the tool set for removing nuts without the key--available to everyone, including wheel thieves so locks are only for honest people and owners with the key! Removal can be accomplished by...

Flat tire. Ordered the replacement from Discount, special order for 5BW, arrival in 3 days. Now, Roadside to get my car to the tire shop. Nope, only free to the dealer which is 75 miles from me, and who won't have the tire. If I want, I can pay Roadside to take the car15 miles to Discount. No...

If you're talking about the rears in the package shelf, the rattle and buzz can be solved with some FatMat or the like, cut into pieces and applied to the shelf from the underside. Common problem and solvable. Dealer probably won't do it

My 5BW will freeze you out it you let it. 4BW did the same. In Texas, so it's not an easy job....time for your a/c check

The key for me would be warranty...these cars are off the charts for significant repairs. CPO is the only way I would buy ANY car, particularly Blackwings
