From what I have read, PTM Pro debutes on the 2026 Corvette. So I doubt it is on the 2025 BW. Maybe on a future software update?

congrats on the 5BW! Not sure what you mean by not fitting in the seats. If they are feeling too tight, the side and bottom bolsters are adjustable. You might just need to set them to not be as tight.

Oil life went from 100% to 96% after around 150 track miles and 100 highway miles.

I used my first session to do the Alternative Closed Course Brake Burnishing Procedure

Just a standard set of OEM wheels that I got for a good deal.

It was actually a cool day under 70F. We don’t typically get hot weather up here in the PNW. The tires still got really gooey and picked up anything not glued to the road. A few hot laps scrub them clean. The wear seems good with the track camber. A guesstimate is about 150 track miles...

Here is what my tires looked like after one track day. They are Goodyear Supercar 3R. Camber is 2.8f and 2.0r.

Car looks awesome! Love the manual and no sunroof spec. You should post in the forum below as it is specific for V-series car sales. Also a few people have WTB posts for manual 5BW where you might want to reply...

Awesome! It looks like 22-24 and 2025+ all use 433hz. So what I have should work. I will try the clearing the error through the infotainment app next time I mount those wheels.

I also have a ‘25 and have issues with getting the TPMS to work with different rims. I did not think to check for an error message in My Cadillac app. I do not have a reprogramming tool so I will have to try it just doing the reset. Do you recall the part number of the TPMS units you have...

Apparently the BW CCB require weighing. What a pain. If they form a lip when they get worn like iron rotors do then that will be a good visual indicator. I can usually tell when my iron rotors need replacing before measure the thickness.

I can confirm that the CCB do create a fair bit of brake dust during a track day while almost zero dust when just driving around town. So I believe the comment about CCB having the same life span as iron for track use is probably correct. However, a Porsche owner I spoke with who has CCB on...

I just ran the Goodyear Supercar 3R tires at the track. The 305 size on the rear was the TPC spec tire which was the front on the ZL1 1LE. The 285 front was just the standard 3R spec. I have not run the Cup 2 R tire, but compared to the regular Cup 2, the 3R seemed grippier with good...

I installed 13554170 on a set of wheels and they did not sync with my 2025 5BW. I wanted to let 2025 owners know just in case something changed with the new infotainment unit. I will update once I figure out the issue.

The MK8 VW GTI and Golf R had a 40-50% take rate on manuals in the US. But they killed the manual when the MK8.5 came out this year. There was no additional R&D costs so it seems confusing on why they would give up half their sales. But I believe there are a few reasons. First, is that...

Provides more camber in the rear. About a half degree I think. Plus the piece is more solid so there will be less flex. Since we are not professional racers, I doubt we would notice a difference though.

Nice of the dealership to pick up the tab. Find out if they are just going to align the rear or do a full alignment. I found front settings were quite a bit off from the factory so best to have then do a full alignment. You will need to let them know what kind of alignment you want - street...

You might want to start lurking In the Blackwing General Discussion forum. People seem to post there first that they are thinking of selling. You might get an early jump on a possible sale.

Essex does not have a solution. I contracted them and they require a 5BW for a while to be able to fab something. There might be one option out there. It I have not pursued it yet. https://www.cadillacvnet.com/forums/threads/steel-option-for-ccb-rotors.5860/#post-115670

Brad, congrats on the weight loss. That is a monumental accomplishment.
