So I’m not sure of the hair split, but my Offer from Caddy officially was Lemon Law Buyback in the title. I know they do other types of buybacks and trade assists as well that the dealer has the option to retail the car. But I was told mine would be ineligible and have to be picked up by...

From what I understand they will be flagged on title from GM. I know mine is going back to GM and will be LL auction

The issue seems to happen earlier in the miles. A few causes I’ve heard are “ debris that wasn’t cleaned out blocking oil flow “. Some of the A10s had AFM de/activation issues etc. most of it has been early mile debris/oil issues from what has been reported

Thanks man. I’m going to tune my manual and get the HP up. I loved the V8 of the BW but the new M is a complete tuner special that I will take advantage of. My mega high spec M3 being 25k less than my BW helps haha Tuner fund is stocked. I was going to get a CS but I missed manual too much. And...

It’s not. Mine was A10 and I personally know of 11 other A10s that have blown just from here, the BW owners FB group and my dealer

Not special enough for me personally on the 5v. I had a hook up to get the exact M3 that I wanted. It’s nowhere near as raw as my BW was but its still a great car when driven hard. Interior is miles better than my BW. Caddy was trying very hard to get me in another BW but I couldnt do it on...

Hey Man. I’m gonna catch shit from certain users in this thread for this but I dont care they are in denial. My 23 5BW had the motor blow in March of this year with 10k miles. I just finished commenting on a different members post about his motor blowing. I’ve had 20+ owners I’ve talked to or...

Sorry to hear it brother. I went through the same engine replacement etc. I also had a buyback enacted and surrendered the car 2 weeks ago. The #s were way too juicy to pass up and I had 0 faith in the car long term after my experience and reading stories like yours. Went out and got a manual...

That will be the interesting part. I’ve heard extremely varying accounts of the values folks have gotten. They wanted to give me another one but I just don’t have the confidence in the model based on the other things I’ve heard. One day after my buyback was approved another guy posted in the BW...

Hey Fish. Been fighting like hell but last week they agreed to a buyback. The dealer originally told me they’d be getting me a buyback after 30 days. Then they took it back a week later and said they wouldn’t host it and I didn’t buy the car there so they would just fix it and I’d have to talk...

The lemon law is just for time. I know that’s when GM will start to expedite if my car isn’t finished. I’m not letting it sit around for 60+ days. But the new engine is not to be underestimated. Definitely a value killer for resale and a black mark even if it runs great. I don’t want my money...

Thanks man. Dealer is great and I’m not going to give GM the chance to say no. Right now the dealer is still having the replacement authorized and trying to get a timeline for parts. I think in another week depending on what they say I’ll get a legal opinion. I don’t want to use it I just want...

Sorry I forgot to ask you. How long was your car in the shop before you called the BBB auto line? Did you get lemoned for number of trips to the shop or consecutive # of days in the shop? Thanks brother

Haha yea mine had 2 oil changes before 5k miles and 3 at its current mileage of 10k. Never tracked my recent MPG on the last tank was over 17 so the definition of not driven hard. To me the timely manner happens to be the exact LL time in my state, 30 days. So once it’s past that I will use that...

Yea definitely not the Lt4s fault. Seems to be a bad batch of parts or some manufacturing error. I’ve seen the words crankshaft, blockage and metal particles on every single post. So got to be a part or assembly process for a limited time/run.
