    Driver engagement? Selling/buying...

    How tall is your garage? If you can go with a four post lift, you can park the Audi under the BW. Comes in handy for oil changes and such too.

    Brake squeal fixes….

    My original pads were silent, but so are the Powerstop carbon ceramic I replaced them with, with the bonus that they don't dust much at all especially compared to the original. That's why I got them. Z26-1405 for the front and 1053 for the back, $160 total on Amazon right now. Obviously won't...

    Driver engagement? Selling/buying...

    Maybe consider the BMW M3 with manual? The 2025 C&D review (although it was the comp version with auto and AWD) got 32 mpg highway, and they said the manual version (Base w/RWD I guess) had a nice ride quality. Everyone says the interiors are among the best, and some of the things that people...

    Media dumps

    That looked like your car they were racing...auto and all. I was considering a Camaro, maybe even a ZL1 before getting the CT4, but felt the extra level of quality and a more adult car swung it to the Cadillac. I've been a Camaro guy all my life, but I still have one so that settled it. The...

    People with the Sky Cool Gray seats; any regrets?

    I bought Gyeon Q2M Leather Cleaner. The dealer had some protectant package on the interior and I think it probably worked because I haven't cleaned it but a couple times.

    People with the Sky Cool Gray seats; any regrets?

    Mine's a '22 and they're like new. Only 8k on the mileage though.

    Help! Apex wheels clicking noise

    I didn't have an issue putting on the Apex wheels, but I had a problem when I switched back to the OEM wheels in Spring last year. The centering rings stayed on the wheels except for one that stayed on the hub, and I didn't notice it until I torqued down the factory wheel on it. I thought it...

    Help! Apex wheels clicking noise

    Maybe a stupid question, but do you still have the original wheels with tires on them? If so, put one back on and see if the clicking goes away. That can narrow down if it's the Apex wheel or something else. My original wheels have the all-seasons on them, so I swap for winter.

    Stock or aftermarket 4BW pads and rotors?

    I've been happy with the carbon ceramic Powerstop pads. Z26-1405 (front) & 1053 (rear), $147 for both sets on Amazon. Price is up about $20 now (about 5 weeks later). Virtually no dust, work fine, and silent. If you're just changing the pads, it's the easiest brake job I've ever done since you...

    CT4-V What Don't You Like About Your CT4-V Blackwing

    If you play music on USB on Random (Shuffle), it randomly drops Random. 😏 Navigation volume is in the manual. But I didn't find it until after a trip that I used it. Maybe it's different for Andriod maps.

    Apex Wheels for CT4-V Blackwing

    Personally, I wouldn't want any more than the 9.5 ET35 with stock tire has. Looking at it, the tread is within the wheel well lip but the sidewall bulges past it slightly.

    We've been kicking around the idea of a C&C in Dayton.

    The Blackwing Spotting Thread

    The five parked in a row (from right to left) are my Shadow Metallic 2022 CT-4V BW, then another Columbus Chapter Cadillac Club local member with his 2011 manual CTS-V in Black Diamond, then a new member from Dayton in his black 2024 CT5-V BW, then forum member captchunk25 in his Electric Blue...

    Narrowed down to 3 colors - help me out, pictures encouraged!

    Like many of the colors, photos don't do Rift justice. I've only seen one in real life, in the dealer showroom. But even there the metallic flake made it more interesting than standard summit white to me.
