I've used the rubber strip with rubber glue type thing many times in the past with no issues but I upgraded to the mushroom plug a few years ago. It's the only way I know of that allows you to keep the tire mounted and seal the hole from the inside.

Mark 1 + Waze work well for me.

So true on the e9xs. I still have an e90 M3 but scared to drive it after all the engine work is required! It just sits on the battery tender while I enjoy the 5BW and hopefully see the e90 resale value creep up.

Once you're moving, no problem..stopping and turning at slow speeds in the 20s can be dicey and last I read, you will get microfractures in the rubber. Not sure what that would mean for durability or track use...YMMV.

I'm not a fan of the XTs (nothing wrong with them and absolutely not a single thing exciting about them) but with them all going away, I fear Cadillac is being a bit too obstinate with an all-EV strategy. They need to read the room better because mainstream America and the ruling pols are giving...

For $15, not bad. Would love to know what difference they make in a BW.

About every 3500 - 5000 miles. I do some at the dealership and the in-betweens at home.

Ditto

If my experience is typical, your eyes will adjust IF you commit 100% to the camera mirror. Between my 5BW and prior V3, I've got over 100k miles with the camera mirror and vastly prefer it to a regular glass mirror.

Not unusual after an OTA software update in my experience. The other variant is where only the HUD is missing but shows up either by moving the display higher or restarting the car.

Another difference - carbon fiber seats are an option on the 5, only available on special editions of the 4. The 4 has an option for CF canards that don't exist on the 5.

Interesting, thx!

Have you done this before? What type of protection do you have to put on top of the paint to preserve it and what type of special paint do you need that's pliable enough to not flake off when the piping bends?? Just curious as have never thought of doing something like this on my own (did...

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.
