    New Member. Ordered a '25 BW (lots of Qs).

    That means it got picked up for a build. Once it goes into the 3000s, then its in production status and will be built the following month. As far as ordering CF parts, availability will be your first issue. Diffuser, rear spoilers are the same, sideskirts should be too but with the refresh...

    M6 Auto Braking?

    So it actually activated while set on notify only? Thats the part im asking about, if it actually apply for manuals. Always assumed that option was only for autos.

    Dash notification and seat vibrating is what I get. But im starting to think that is the setting.

    ct4v bw exhaust valve rattle

    No, thats the wastegate squeel. People have replaced turbos under warranty for it and it came back. My guess is the housing hole for the wastegate flap shaft isnt smoothly bored.

    FINALLY ! 2022 CT5-V Blackwing Production #'s , colors and transmissions

    Actually surprised that there's more DEF than Blaze, specially knowing DEF was only available to order for 1-1.5 month.

    M6 Auto Braking?

    Hmm, maybe thats the reason I never had it intervened, turned it off 2 years ago. We had a Palisade and an Odyssey now, the auto-braking feature always defaults to ON on restart so it gets old trying to turn it off. Surprised its not a case for these cars, specially after resetting power by...

    M6 Auto Braking?

    So somebody brought this up, which I never noticed, manuals have emergency auto-braking? Its listed in the sticker under Safety but curious if anybody actually experienced it intervene in a manual car. Never had it intervene so figured it wasnt a manual thing, only in the autos.

    Blackwing Option Rarity Estimates?

    They were for a while. The issue was their wait list got so long and they didnt want local buyers to wait too long. They figured those guys are potential repeat customers. When I jumped on, the list was over 120 people (I was #106 come DEC). Think they did that for about 8 months before they...

    FINALLY ! 2022 CT5-V Blackwing Production #'s , colors and transmissions

    Pretty much, 40-44% take on manuals. Also production has been steady about >1600 yearly build and not dropping like with the V3s. With the refresh, probably stay in that threshold. Cadillac pretty much said, theyll keep building them until demand tapers.

    Anderson Composites Type-SV Double Sided Carbon Fiber Hood for 2024 CT5-V BW

    The holes on the hinge are pretty large, made it a shit load easy to align this hood. Even then, its well built and barely had to really adjust it. Didnt even had to mess around with the latch to match up with the new striker. Just messed with bump bushing to even out the front edges of the...

    CT5-V Rear seat center seat belt

    No, the red center belts didnt become a thing until the 2024 20th Anniversary. Even the 120th Anniversaries from 2023 had black center belts. But funny that I looked up those PNs and GM couldnt be bothered to swap out a sub $100 part for the same color. :hb

    Blackwing Option Rarity Estimates?

    Sewell was getting at least 6-10 cars every week at the peak of delivery. Theres's a reason we dub Justin the Blackwing King.

    Blackwing Option Rarity Estimates?

    Lucky, you'd be a handful of folks who actually have CF packages for 2023. Did you get the CF backed seats too? That year was also when Cadillac gave top tier seats without CF and gave people $2900 back. Went from unable to order top tier seats, to get top tier but no CF shells.

    Excessive wear on front tires

    Should be able to get 15K out of them realistically with good alignment. Problem with these things are nobody ever does an alignment after breaking the car in. Honestly, do an alignment before 3K miles to make sure everything settled nicely. Its also not uncommon for these things to have...

    Anderson Composites Type-SV Double Sided Carbon Fiber Hood for 2024 CT5-V BW

    Honestly, not much. Stock hoods are aluminum and fairly light to begin with. More aesthetics since I doubt it helps with aerodynamics. One thing I noticed was, the car actually runs cooler when the vent closed. These hoods has a screwed in/removable water tray, taking that off actually ran...

    2025 CT5 BW Question

    just get a piece of black vinyl sheet, lay it over the light and cut it. It’s a cheap, easy solution until new lights comes out.

    2025 CT5 BW Question

    The original story was they had a main supplier that made 70-80% of the parts, then a couple smaller companies made smaller batches. The main large one went bankrupt due to not being able to get supplies back in late 2021. Company went under and the smaller companies could never keep up with...

    Blackwing Option Rarity Estimates?

    It wasnt as constrained until going into spring time. The main manufacturer that made 70% of CF parts for the Blackwing folded in Nov 2021. There were 2-3 smaller companies that made batches but they couldnt make up the loss. Towards the end of MY22, what ever CF made was only allocated to...

    Blackwing Option Rarity Estimates?

    Look for 23s then, there were a few dealer ordered cars that only had CCBs and seats upgraded. Only crappy part is they’re usually ravens. Dealers for some reason typically order them in black for store stock.
