I would install a battery tender under the hood using the remote terminal.

Isn't it great when you find a dealer who cares?!? In my experience, that's the challenge with domestic brands - very hit or miss. When you're dealing with foreign luxury brands (like BMW with their higher margins) you get much better consistency.

You're probably aware, but just in case, GM is eventually going to want you to go through a dealer for support of the issue. If you're not getting the support you need from your current dealer, it may be quicker to start with another dealer than trying to get a tier 1 customer support agent to...

I'll wade into this one... As a non-Texan who has spent a LOT of time there, I'll take Austin and San Antonio over flat and plain DFW but I'd take DFW over the muggy crime-infested swamp called Houston (but vastly prefer their home prices!) Dawning my asbestos underwear now!

Great point. I should have clarified, we get ice but very little snow in suburban Seattle (and when we do, I'll drive a SUV, rarely the M3 or the 5BW.)

I have a set of PS AS3 tires on an older M3 and they're just fine in the winter. But I don't exactly push that wallet bomb of a S65 motor anytime at all these days...

AS means All Season whereas the stock PS 4S is a bepoke (specific to the Blackwing forumlation) summer (3 season) tire.

Maybe search junk yards online? It will be some work to extract a harness but probably a lot quicker.

Aha, just stumbled across a video showing this tire issue with Taycans, Teslas, etc. It's due to excess negative camber(start around 4:15): The reason I haven't seen this on the replacement tires is probably because I followed up the install with an alignment.

I've only seen the issue with the stock tires. The replacement OEMs with the same TPC code haven't seen the same issue on my car.

Maybe paste the M5 build specs as the code doesn't work (maybe requires an account or local cookie?)

Yup, had the exact same issue with both tires on the same axle. Had plenty of tread and was shocked when I lost tire pressure on a local trip to find this issue was so severe i had to stop and fill the tire every couple of miles trying to limp home. I check my tire tread most trips to the gas...

Alternately, get a free estimate from Safelite and use paperwork showing delamination with the dealership.

What does the language of the warranty say?? Is there a specific set of exclusions?

Oil plug is nothing unusual but if you like to change your own oil, I recommend getting a Fumoto oil valve with the accessory drain hose. Makes changing oil mess free and a bit quicker.

I was one of the Costco returns...they should have had a poster or something to talk to different models and lift spreads. I love Costco but felt they simply offered the wrong model since it was too short for even a C-class Mercedes (it's a YT video.)

Just turn the units 90 degrees for your other cars per QuickJack. There's no additional risk.

Hah, I hear you! I bought a Carly just to do the battery registration for our BMWs. But, I do find the Blackwing easier. I've changed brake fluid, changed rotors and pad, changed rear diff fluid, etc with the most basic tools.

I will share that it's been a struggle in some respects. The spread between lift points on a vehicle can vary wildly from model to model. My first QuickJack was too short for a V3 CTS-V. I replaced it with a 7000EXT which worked on the V3, too long for son's Camaro and Corvette that replaced...

Based on all you've shared, I would look into the online Cadillac dealer (James Black) known for selling the discounted GM Protection Plan. You will get a relatively good price and the same level of protection that came with the car from GM.
