    *Help* Looking for a no BS dealer

    I have bought 2 BW from Sewell, formerly known as Ken Batchelor but owned in the Sewell orbit for years. They have been totally honest, solved all issues, delivered what they said and are price honest. If you want the name of my salesman DM and I will send it along. Top notch, knows the cars...

    Conti Extreme Contact dws06 plus vs. Michelin Pilot Sport all season 4 ?

    I put the Conti's on my 4BW. Never a fan of Michelin since they stiffed me on a thrown belt years ago, which damaged my Ferrari. Anyway, the Conti's are somewhat quieter and I can't reach the max performance of either them or the Michelins. Always have been a Conti fan, and disappointed they...

    Michelin PS4S issue

    True, but I think in combination with the camber at the high end of the correct range, we may see a cause. I've asked the Service Manager and my salesman to move this epidemic up the line with Cadillac and tire folks. Sent them a link to this thread. The tire folks should know if there are other...

    Michelin PS4S issue

    It would seem the issue may be a combination of excess toe AND excess negative camber. Those 2 together might encourage that inner tire wear. I I think the toe should be around .1 and the camber 1.00 for lower end of the range...

    Michelin PS4S issue

    I had the exact same wear on my CTV with 12,000 miles. Other work that took precedence at the dealer (oil pan replacement) so they did not check alignment until after that work, which did affect the alignment anyway. So no evidence to support a cause. I had thought we had an alignment issue on...

    5BW rear deck speaker upgrades?

    Looked at the current OE speakers, and they are pretty lame. Seems like they'd have to come out from inside the car, and there's probably not a lot of room to work...any thoughts on that from anyone??

    Don't want to get into an add-on sub, so what might improve the rear 6x9s?

    Upgraded

    Satisfactorily, not great not bad. With the CPO and low miles the 5 was pretty pricey, but certainly not a price for a new one. Trade was average.

    Upgraded

    Traded 2033 4BW towards a CPO 2024 5 BW...now I've really hit the big time. Summit White with the Light gray seats and minimal options. Who needs 'em...Amazing difference and an even better all-rounder. Last 4 0385 if that's how I get it into the Registry..

    Porous Oil Pan!

    Apparently they have to move it considerably. All the cradles, mounts, etc have to be moved.

    Porous Oil Pan!

    Apparently there has been a tech bulletin on this problem. Note that a LOT has to be removed to get it changed, way past the bottom of the engine: Cradles, suspension, damper pulley, etc. Manual lists the job at 19.5 hours!

    Porous Oil Pan!

    It's being changed out now under warranty. That is one complex casting! Not surprising there might be a bad spot in all that area and small corners..

    Porous Oil Pan!

    Minor leak under the engine is NOT main seal or pan gasket. Diagnosed as an overly-porous pan: Tech cleaned everything, pressure testing found NO leaks, but he could see the pan essentially sweating oil! So, is the pan on a 4BW plastic, steel or alloy? In any case it's a major job to replace.

    street alignment specs

    Well, MrBF, I do trust them. And cut the cards. And have found even the most trustworthy shops and people don't have all the information all the time. Particularly if the BW specs are different than regular CTs
