Pretty generic description, any dealer folks know what the software update addresses on the car?

Man, as soon as I saw "Dealer Appearance Package", I braced for a Blackwing sporting a faux convertible roof, gold plated emblems, and chrome wheels with Vogue tires.....

My apologies, I mixed up the counts thinking about the VIN numbering weirdness. You are correct. There is some oddness with the sequence though, the "first" 250 were not the actual first 250 if you were unfortunate enough to have a constraint item in your build, so some non-collectors cars are...

It was sorta tempting, since I have a classic Caddy as well. Would be neat to have the model year match. Figured I'd be paying handsomely for a specific car though.

"First 250" is way too misleading. There was a collectors package, limited to 250 MT 5BWs, 250 AT 5BWs, 250 MT 4BWs, and 250 AT 4BWs. 1000 cars. The collectors package did not guarantee the car was one of the first ones off the line. My 5BW is number 180, because I ordered the day after...

It's wild that in a car without a "dud" option in the form of a poorly implemented auto or manual, that people are so passionate about what someone else picks. I don't get it, might as well argue about color at that point. One thing that was a bit of a surprise and adjustment was how easy the...

To add to that, the included card is pre-loaded with the track maps for all the various tracks at the facility, so you can really pin down where you suck. (or maybe that was just me..) There were definitely a few lightbulb moments, a testament to the skill of the instructors making that happen...

Clutch in in 1st while messing about in the menu, and I just reved to about 4.5-5k, side-stepped the clutch and let 'er buck. I then decided to spend my time while roasting the tires, reading the dash to figure out how to cancel line lock and roll out. It may be advisable to find those...

Since it was brought up... Anyone know why the LT4 has a dexos2 recommendation? Looks like the stuff is primarily for DPF equipped vehicles.

I see you are in NJ, my 5-BW came from Coleman just outside of Trenton, and I paid MSRP. As to the current state of their allocations, I can't say. Couldn't hurt to add it to your list though. Dominic Esposito was the salesman I dealt with if it helps any.

So from as far as I can tell, the difference is only the seats between the two. I have the tier two, and I feel that visually, the seating surfaces look nicer than the tier three. The leather feels like standard automotive seat leather, nothing extraordinary, nothing terrible. It's my...

Wonder if that starts the warranty clock too.... what a mess.

Maybe playing with the line-lock less often is a good idea... Naaaah!

I'd sure be grateful if someone had the inside scoop on what the heck "V-certified" actually meant. Seems allocations still end up all over the place, and the assumption would be these would also be servicing dealers, so I guess it's not a big deal? Or its a new program? I'd REALLY like if...

Sounds like the actuators have to be there, and electrically connected. Mechanically though? Might be an option if you wanted to experiment, I'm sure the electrical bit unbolts for replacement somehow.
