You used the gold metallic shown here? Sharpie - Fine Point Metallic... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07PBC3NLL?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share Odd if so. The gold metallic matches our tech bronze wheels well for light rash especially the lip..

By warranty block you mean warranty coverage isn't in place for the above areas of the vehicle?

Some oil consumption is expected if running the engine hard (e.g. track use). That said, I typically had some oil smell after oil changes. My oil consumption picked up over time (>1 quart every 4-5000 miles of normal driving) and I came out to a few drops of oil the other day. I took it to the...

I just saw it was sold yesterday. Quite the negotiation anchor isn’t it?

Now that the butt dimple’s been pointed out, you may notice it on 50%+ of all CT5s. Sometimes it’s barely noticeable, sometimes it’s obvious. It happens right where there’s a bumper cutout/clip..

Reasonably offered for $186,220 at Cadillac of Bellevue!! Complete with characteristic CT5 butt dimple!

Why wasn’t it covered??? You may want to escalate this to your region’s Cadillac district service manager... Unless you have a tight relationship with your current dealer and that’s worth $500 to you.

Corvette Grand Sport X in a manual sedan package. Maybe with boost. Aligns competitively with BMW's strategy while having the 'driver's edge.' And more of a relationship to F1 dev as well.

I am wondering why not always use 5W-50 in our CT5-V Blackwings if this is all true?

If it triggered service rear diff and other lights, it should be in the vehicle's history if you pull codes, likely as inactive. I'm armchair guessing but it sounds like something electrical like a loose connection or plug or pin. The codes may give you some insight where. You could go to a...

Nice. https://gmauthority.com/blog/2026/02/apparently-the-infiniti-equalizer-app-works-in-gm-vehicles-and-speaker-sound-is-much-better/

I've always wondered why not staggered front/rear diameters for the Blackwings from the factory ... 2023 Cadillac CT5-V Blackwing: 19" front, 19" rear factory: 2025 BMW M5: 20" front, 21" rear factory: It's hard to unsee on the M5 once it's been pointed out. The front tire looks fat.

Catalytic convertor(s) and/or injector(s). What "don't" you like about your BW"?
