IF nothing else works, use a lot of duct tape and drive on.

Right, sure, keep it up.

What childish stupidity, burn off a few hundred $ off your tires.

I guess you would say I'm babying the 4BW. ZERO issues of any kind. Oh, yeah, run in often to 100 get radar gunned and maybe a night in jail.

11,100 miles on my 4BW. Flawless, even gets surprisingly fine mileage. Oh, I guess I could complain about the carbon fiber seat back squeaking. Dealer will fix it in 2 weeks.

Other than northern AK where can you find coolant temps of 50 degrees this time of the year?

Ah, yes BMW equals Bring Money With. Don

Does anyone know of engine issues with the CTV-4 Blackwing? 11K miles, several oil changes and everything is great.

I drove sticks and enjoyed them for many years. But rowing through the gears in heavy traffic isn't fun. Not an issue with an auto.

I really appreciate what ngoni stated. I have always changed the cars oil more frequently than what the manuals have said. Cheap protection and I've never had any engine issue in 50+ yrs. Having spent around $90K on my Blackwing IMSA Edition all the more reason to baby the car. Aditionally...

Bite me!

OOOH, the horrors, I've been scolded by the content/grammar police. I'll endeavor to stop using Don, how will life continue? Sarcasm most certainly intended.

Personally, I think 5-7K miles between oil & filter changes is way too long unless you're frequently driving long distances Your call. Don

I had only manuals for decades. Being stuck in stop and go traffic with a manual is a major PITA. Modern autos often out perform manuals in every respect. Don

I don't understand the OPs remarks either. My 2023 CTV-4 Blackwing automatic has enough low end that I haven't stepped on it at low speed. With half throttle it starts spinning the wheels. Love the car, even gets 32mpg on a 20 mile run. Some downhill but not significant. Don
