I had liked early spy shots of the nose, but up close and especially from the sides, the headlights are very vertical - almost reminds me of a GMC truck/SUV. Agree the black lines on the BW bumper are a bit weird and unnecessary. Same with the screen - I had generally liked it and it definitely...

I have 8K miles daily mine with the standard lip and have zero scrapes. I've scraped the underbody panel, yes, but not the lip. Go slow and at an angle on steep drives and it's not that bad. The front overhang is pretty short, which helps.

That's one thing that rang so true at the end of this video: Yesterday I dropped a couple of gears to pass a dawdling left-lane Prius and - whoops - there's 103mph before I even passed him. Satisfying yet also a bit alarming. Formerly my favorite car I had owned, which I wanted to emulate in...

I like mine a lot, but I do still get jeans transfer even with Colourlock and another highly regarded product I tried before that. I just clean it with leather cleaner every couple of months (really just the driver's seat bottom).

Honestly really, really satisfied with my combo of 5BW and Lotus Elise. Can't think of a better 2-car combo for me, and likely won't even try for many years. I don't think anything will be made in my price level that will make me happier.

I liked sunroofs... until I got a converible. Now a sunroof is like 20% of that experience, but comes with cost, complexity, and weight in the wrong spot. I like a nice pano roof in an SUV (never notice it in my wife's Merc C-class) but for a performance car give me a slick top any day.

Not an orange fan in general, but that's the best Blaze Orange photo I've seen!

I believe C&D and other mags measure all sound inside the car, including full throttle.

The stuff is expensive ($150 Christmas ornament? It IS sold out though) but the two sets of cufflinks are cool!

I've been using KBB.com. Private party value is still $2k over my '23 MSRP with 7,500 miles. Seems a bit optimistic but long story short, it peaked at $6-7k over so hasn't come down a ton in its first year.

It might be because GM is synonymous with the small-block V8, while BMW is similarly synonymous with its straight-6.

I bought my 5BW brand new from Sewell, had it shipped to Silicon Valley, and had to smog it before I could get my permanent registration. Completely stupid and a waste of resources.

It's frustrating how long it takes people's brand perceptions to change. My mom is 75 and still drives a manual Cayman, yet cannot make herself like my Blackwing because it's an American Cadillac (granted she hasn't seen or ridden in it). And as much as I want to get my wife an Ioniq 5 or...

Prior to the CT4/5, the CTS and CTS-V won 8 times. Not sure about other models, there are probably a handful. https://www.caranddriver.com/features/g15084479/cream-of-the-crop-the-winningest-cars-in-10best-history/

Do you mean they are for non-BW CT5s? Because the photo is clearly of a CT5. If it's only for non-BWs, that sucks and I'm not sure why they'd aim for that part of the CT5 market.

After going to the recycling center to dispose of my Lotus's old battery (went from 36.6lbs Optima to a 3.8lb Antigravity lithium), I found myself amid decent scenery, with a clean car, during darn near golden hour, so I snapped a few pics with my 4-year-old Samsung Galaxy S10.

At least as far as 0-60 and 1/4 mile, they're almost identical to a 2-generation-old E9x M3.

Agreed. Also noticed their car only had $8k in options, so had to be steel brakes, and it also had a sunroof.

Yeah, every manual car I've had has been able to do that, except my Integra had the same problem when I put big lumpy cams in it.
