That does bring up a good point. When the last manual vehicle draws its last breath, its extinction would not be the fault of the masses, or the car companies, it will be soley the fault of us, the so called die hard car enthusiast finally chosing practicality and convenience over passion and...

Never expected someone with a name like "savethemanual" to, well, not save the manual. When you sell your manual blackwing for an autotragic cayman, will you change your name to "didn’tsavethemanual"? And honestly since our forum shrink Zoomie seems to be MIA, I think I gotta step up to the...

Doesn't your wife already rock an RS3? If you get a Cayman GTS 4.0 it would be criminal insanity to option the PDK over the manual. If you care about holding value down the like like you said, the 6 speed 4.0 cars are going to hold value head and shoulders above the PDK cars. The entire...

Which means it is entirety keeping with inflation. The 2022 BWs were released in 2021. From 2021 to 2024 the inflation rate was 15.9%

Little known fact: Jesus's first ride home vehicle after his birth was a BMW ox cart, with the M sport package.

I bet the cybertruck owner is posting the same picture on his forum asking if the stainless steel skin will shrug off exploding LT4 guts.

Happening on LT4s too. Yes definitely mechanical things fail, but main bearings failing this early and this often is definitely more than just bad luck. The LT4s in the C7 Z06, ZL1, and V3 CTS-V didn’t have anywhere near this many main bearing and rod bearing failures in their entire run.

The lifters are the old issue. The new issue is something going on with the bottom end. Either rod or main bearings that are going on all these 6.2s https://www.gm-trucks.com/forums/topic/264800-2022-62-engine-failure/...

Another perspective on why the push towards plug in hybrid. https://www.motor1.com/news/725057/2025-bmw-m5-cheaper-m3-ireland/ Insane CO2 taxes added to cars in Europe.

The M5 is a plug in hybrid with a much larger battery. 18.6kw, vs the E ray with a 1.9kw battery. Nearly 10x the capacity. These plug in hybrids are meant to be able to make the commute on EV power alone, or venture into EV only zero emission zones in European (and maybe future US) cities.

That's for the V6, its the V8s that are blowing. There is definitely some sort of new issue with the 6.2 beyond just the blackwing. Escalades are blowing 6.2s enough to be a concern too. I wonder if GM will recall them like Toyota did with the 3.4TT motor

Is it weird I kinda want it? At least the wagon.

When you got that one guy at work that always one ups you.

We all thought you were dead

Well you are parked next to a Ford GT. Also you debadged the shit out of it so they don't have the cheat sheets.

It's not a Blackwing but it is a Cadillac.

Just wait, LT4s in the Blackwing will occasionally explode with power... and engine bits. The 37th circle of hell is reserved for break-in test drive redliners, just before left lane campers and just after truck nut afficionados.

Yeah that's something I've noticed and the magazines have touched on. If you are used to a German twin turbocharged ZF8 speed machine then the Blackwing won't feel as fast, even if it's actually faster. Wife has a X3M comp, which runs very similar times in ET and trap speed to your RS6...
