Is yours a 6spd 4dr? I just picked up my Imola red '05 sedan. I am looking forward to really getting to know it. Oddly enough, just before I bought it, I picked up an '05 330i 6spd non-ZHP. They are very close in condition and mileage, so I am keen to do a back-to-back comparo of the two and see...

I too agree with the 1+ car in the garage strategy if that's at all an option. The Blackwings no doubt are fantastic performers, but they come with added layers of, shall I call it, "insulation" between the driver and the experience over the older cars. I too cherish the feel and simplicity of...

Seems like the shipping times might be improving. When I picked up my 5VBW last week, I chatted with a few sales folks- they reminded me that GM had completely ended the long-standing arrangement with their legacy shipping provider, Jack Cooper, earlier this year. Logistics were a real mess...

Hopefully won't be too long, a friend of mine has very similar '24, 6spd/Carbon Ceramics/performance seats etc, and he's just as interested in seeing how the PP feels as I am in finding out what a lack of PP equates to.

By inadvertently suffering. Lol. Put the dealer on the hot seat and told em after all I had been through, they'd better offer me something or I'd broadcast my sob story, pull my deposit and go elsewhere. Kinda wish I had gotten a '24, but meh. I'll survive.

Yep, totally agree, to each his/her own. I actually got talked into the tire replacement warranty/no-cost replacement. 5 yr no mileage limit, any damaged tires replaced no questions asked. I bartered with the sales guy, got 15% off that and key fob replacement too. But yea, might as well expect...

Just got back from picking up my new 2025 CT5VBW. Long story short, I had originally called around to dealers outside of CA in late 2023 to find one offering an allocation with no ADM. Findlay Cadillac in Vegas (Henderson, specifically) rose to the occasion, I guess you could say. A bit far for...

All the more reason to look at the car from as many angles as possible, and outside in the sun to boot, vs under indoor lighting. Huh. Have not heard of these before. Thanks for mentioning- will inquire if they are still so equipped. Yup, NV I don't think requires a front plate (I could very...

Ouch. All 4? Yikes. That is a good one to check, thank you.

Prepping for the arrival of my '25 5VBW. Thanks to everyone who has been posting about issues to be aware of on these cars, big or small, I started putting together a list of items to inspect and/or address with the dealer when the car does in fact show up (when that will be might just be the...

On point 4 and the ensuing discussion, not that I have much to add, but while it is impossible to predict both future values and future used-car buyer preferences, my takeaway from where other used "high performance executive" cars 15-20 years old have gone (referring in this case to 2001-6 E46...

So I am new to newer GM products (only new GM I have is my '15 Z28), and I have heard of a few folks with stories to tell about stolen recent GM products (one guy in my neighborhood had a '16ish (I think) ATS-V auto stolen out of his driveway, and a friend had 1 successful and 1 thwarted 6th gen...

Thanks for posting this, I will add it to the (growing) list of things I will check and if needed, instruct my dealer to fix, when I pick up my '25... Let us know how it gets addressed if you don't mind. Hope it's a painless fix.

Agreed. Not worth the "performance" gain on track when you alienate all the buyers who want the higher-spec version with a good ol' 6MT. I drove a 400 Z Proto Spec edition a few months ago. Only had 580 miles. Original owner had his name etched into the Nissan-provided "ownership plaque" but...

That is odd. Wonder how that'll change... and then change back in 4 years maybe haha. Interesting too that the OEM clutch is Luk. I know Luk is an OEM supplier, I just have familiarity with Luk from parts hunting for my Bimmers. Guess I need to research Luk a bit more, I thought it was German...

Thanks for starting this thread. I am hoping that my incoming 5VBW will satisfy my long-standing itch for forced induction of the other variety (Evo X, STi, 1st gen 12V with HE351 and others help quench my turbo needs), but I imagine, and it sounds like, the OEM LT4 blower setup in this car will...

My dealer, Findlay in Vegas, relayed that my 5VBW (3800 on 3/24/25) would be insulated from any tariff pricing increases. Not sure how many parts come from outside the US, but at least the Tremecs are made in our neighbor to the south. The last MY25 5VBW window sticker I saw showed...
