    This is what i am planning to do exactly. Are you still liking it? Any adjustments youve made or would recommend making?

    Alignment

    Does anyone know the relative contributions for front camber form the top hat adjustment listed in the owners manual vs. adjustment of the camber bolts on the wheel carrier? I am looking to like adjust to ~-2 deg front and ~-1.5 deg rear to give a nice set up for street driving and I am not sure...

    How much oil to add when it’s on the bottom mark of the dipstick for the 4 BW?

    Yea, it's also incredibly hard to read in general. I stick it in until it's about 1/2" from all the way in to confirm that the fill level I thought I was seeing, moved 1/2" down the dipstick as a confirmation. Absolutely love the car. Been doing all my own maintenance for years coming from the...

    How much oil to add when it’s on the bottom mark of the dipstick for the 4 BW?

    Intuitively that seems to make logical sense. It's just a bit ridiculous that a dip stick really needs "interpretation"! your reply makes me feel a bit better for now. Once I do my first oil change in a little bit, I'll be more confident knowing the amount of oil I put in. I am not super worried...

    How much oil to add when it’s on the bottom mark of the dipstick for the 4 BW?

    I'm shocked and embarrassed to ask this question - but can someone help me interpret the dipstick and the owner's manual? The manual says the oil is too low or high if it is "below" or "above" the cross hatched area. but what about if the oil level is within the cross hatched area? I would be...

    Break in 6MT fluid change

    this is what is SO frustrating and confusing. Your image in exerpt from the OWNER manual. My CT4 OWNER manual also says Dex III. But my excerpt is from the SERVICE manual which specifically calls out the gear oil. I am shocked by how inconsistent and bad the documentation is. How do we find out...

    Break in 6MT fluid change

    Got it. Thank you! But then based on your prior post, if I drain and fill with the OEM AC Delco gear oil, should I still under fill by 1/8" or fill to run out? The maintenance procedure indicates to underfill, and presumably they assume use of OEM fluids, so that's probably what I'll do. That...

    Break in 6MT fluid change

    But this is where I get REALLY confused by this thread. The service manual indicates 88861800 of the MTF. Per GM / AC Delco 88861800 is 75w90, not ATF.

    Break in 6MT fluid change

    Yea, I am planning to do exactly the same as you mention for motor oil and the likely stick to ~5K as my normal interval. For the diff and trans, do them at 1500, 10K, and then every 30K. Planning to run castrol edge 5w30. Any reason you you are going 0w40? Unlike other cars, I don't see...

    Break in 6MT fluid change

    Thanks for your reply, but I am confused. Per the service manual 88861800 is specified as the transmission fluid which is a 75W90, not an ATF. On the Tremec website, the 6060 spec sheet lists Dexron III as the fluid - this seems to be the opposite of what you mention above. the OEM 88861800 is...

    Break in 6MT fluid change

    Hi All, First post - I am taking delivery of a 2024 CT4-V Blackwing on Wednesday. 6MT, Black on black, with performance seats and alcantara. I am beyond excited. I am joining the seemingly large group of ex-BMW folks who are choosing Blackwings over G80 M3s. I've been preparing for my break in...
