If you're talking about the rears in the package shelf, the rattle and buzz can be solved with some FatMat or the like, cut into pieces and applied to the shelf from the underside. Common problem and solvable. Dealer probably won't do it

My 5BW will freeze you out it you let it. 4BW did the same. In Texas, so it's not an easy job....time for your a/c check

The key for me would be warranty...these cars are off the charts for significant repairs. CPO is the only way I would buy ANY car, particularly Blackwings

For what it's worth Fantom Works in Virginia put an LT4 in a '69 Chevelle. It took major revision of the front frame as that engine is huge in length and width but it did work and sound fantastic. They got the engine as a crate sale, so I would guess it is obtainable.

All seasons in correct sizes for 5BW! 50 mileage warranty, 186 mph rated. So inexpensive they're probably Chinese, but available at Discount for around 700 for all 4...anyone heard of these??

I had a 911 GTS and sold it, eventually to get the 5BW. The Porsche was too loud, too low, and too limited for daily use.

Do I use the flat 6mm spacers or the ones with the raised lip in the center edge? Even the flat ones are available hubcentric, but is the wheel hub long/tall enough not to need the raised lip?

The extenders, not the dead-end silencer, are on ebay and amazon....don't know about the silencers...

Another question: for OE wheels do the spacers need the raised bore rim, or can they be completely flat? I'm thinking 6mm spacers...

easiest way is to buy what is sold as seatbelt extenders, which are just buckles with no belt. Leave them plugged in and no chime ever.

My point, despite the snide comments, is that here in Southern Texas, truly cold is rare, and a matter of days per year. I don't find it useful to put on tires that are mainly for snow AND cold, in sizes that are not optimal, for those few days. Despite the superior attitudes by the usual kind...

Have driven plenty of them at 20degrees with a lot of extra care. In the case of the 5BW there appears to be no viable alternative. Awareness of traction issues is certainly needed. I'm referring to the warning that those tires could actually crack or blowout in the cold, which seems entirely a...

Anybody actually know of cases where the OE Michelins have failed due to cold? I suspect liability language....

Only problem with full cutoff is that you lose all the settings on everything...

Anyone wire a toggle into the pump circuit? location for wiring would be helpful. This old hack saved my BMW from going missing 50 years ago.

To compare either BW to light and even 2door cars is truly impossible. Indeed, my 5 is a whole different beast from my 4, but neither are my 911 or 356 or 2002tii. Never expected them to be. However, if your 4 is out of warranty plenty more power is certainly available in the aftermarket. So...

Had an alignment check done on 5BW with 4700 miles and revealed significant anomalies in the settings. See the attachment which describes just the front. I'm not happy this wasn't caught and I do believe similar was and is responsible for my tire problems. I also learned that GM will pay for...
