    CT5-V 5BW CEL, issue identified

    Here is what the app shows me. No luck with retrieving a diagnostic report through onstar, latest one is from 1/15. Will likely clear codes and see if they return.

    CT5-V 5BW CEL, issue identified

    Upon start up leaving work, CEL popped on. Scanned the codes when I got home: p2b49 p3177 p3184 Car is bone stock, 7k miles, and drives perfectly fine. Nothing is coming up, so I’m assuming these aren’t very common codes? Curious if anyone has seen these before.

    Where did you purchase them from?

    CT5-V Sourcing OE carbon front lip

    Great deal, and good advice on the selling dealer. Although I had to purchase mine 5 states away, they were fantastic and it’s worth a shot.

    CT5-V Sourcing OE carbon front lip

    I’ve seen them had for much cheaper than that. But I guess this is the problem.. only able to source it through a dealer which lacks the online 30%+ discounts?

    CT5-V Sourcing OE carbon front lip

    So after months of searching, it seems most parts sites do not show the 5BW front carbon lip available. Has anyone had luck ordering and receiving from a specific vendor? I currently have the Exhibition of Speed front splitter, which is a perfectly built piece. Just looking to give the factory...

    Paint nub issues and panel misalignments

    Surprised that the dealer took this on. I’m assuming they outsourced a pro detailer for this? Not saying the detailers at a dealership are incapable of wet sanding, but I think the detailers at a dealership are incapable of wet sanding. Doing it right would entail using a paint thickness meter...

    What made you choose a Blackwing and what else did you consider?

    The GT350 has probably held my attention longer than any other car, like you, since 2016. Took a good friend to pick up one of the first ones in our area back in 2015. Great experience, and I’ve been lusting them since. Would love to put one next to my 5BW. The N/A flat plane has to be an...

    What made you choose a Blackwing and what else did you consider?

    Yeah not really sure where to take this. I hear you. And I agree on the luxury ride. I can tell you’re on some anti-BMW campaign, and that’s great. There are plenty of things I dislike about the brand, primarily its culture/marketing, but the M car in any form has been the benchmark for sports...

    What made you choose a Blackwing and what else did you consider?

    Not sure if you’re getting your wires crossed with another M5 variant, but it’s actually quite a special car. Just about every reviewer/magazine has marked it down as the greatest sedan ever made.

    What made you choose a Blackwing and what else did you consider?

    “The point is?” Lol, weird response, but I’ll bite. That’s my reply to why I love the M5CS. So that’s the point. I’m an M car fanatic, and the M5CS is the kind of them all. That’s another point.

    What made you choose a Blackwing and what else did you consider?

    Why? As in the M5CS? The 5BW has plenty of power IMO. I couldn’t imagine having more, considering it’s a daily. I feel like it would be a handful. The M5CS just seems to be the perfect sedan with AWD, still a V8. However, it’s an auto, which sucks. The M5 can be managed easily with much more power.

    What made you choose a Blackwing and what else did you consider?

    Would have loved to experience a supercharged E9x. Assuming it lost that glorious induction noise though? My ownership was pretty low drama as well. IACV and throttle actuators replaced. Car was on original rod bearings, so maybe time would tell (I only had it till 40k miles).

    What is that green ring around the gear indicator

    Interesting. I only see this come on in first gear.

    What made you choose a Blackwing and what else did you consider?

    M cars will always be my true love. Without a doubt one of the most incredible branded cars on the road. I hear you on the 4BW. I was very close to getting the 4, for multiple reasons. The 5 is most definitely a handful and I rarely have the opportunity to completely open her up, and I live...

    What made you choose a Blackwing and what else did you consider?

    I realized you asked about the E90, not the G80, sorry! Sold that back in 2016 due to work. Wanted a vehicle I didn’t mind beating up (military utilizing range roads). Since then, complete regret. If I knew what they would fetch today, I would have never sold it. It was AW over Fox Red, 6MT...

    What made you choose a Blackwing and what else did you consider?

    Primarily, numbness. As a daily, it was fantastic. The car just lacked character. However, it was an absolute monster, and gave me a little more confidence compared to the 5BW. The 5BW requires a lot more work and patience, especially being a manual. The G80 just felt like the car was driving...
