When I buy used cars, I always look for a service history and I avoid cars that have had extensive warranty work. Even if I buy from a private party, I can still get the service history at a local dealer with the vin number. If the local dealer won't give me the information, I can still call...

Maybe we all need to buy a Camry next time. Seriously, I will take my chances with this engine and if I have an issue, I can only hope GM will fix it properly and in a timely manner. Maintenance and not abusing the car will greatly reduce the number of problems. I find that most people do not...

A ton is non specific. How many have you heard of?

This might not be a good idea to list the person who built your motor. I am thinking of liability. Maybe you want to delete your post or delete the name of the builder of your engine from your post.

Check with a GM engineer if you can reach one and ask if there is a break in oil. I know that cars in the past had a break in oil, but I am not sure if our current cars do. Every manufacturer is different.

Perhaps we should change the oil at 200 miles. If this car has a break in oil, then that might not be recommended.

For a defective part, GM probably makes a deal with the manufacturer who made the bad part. Shared responsibility

GM gives input to the manufacturers for the specs for the parts. The bottom line is that GM is responsible.

Who else do you blame other than GM, the builder? Isn't that why GM has a warranty with each car?

Good luck with that. GM can void your warranty. Car manufacturers look for anything to void paying warranty claims.

My local dealer recommended changing the diff at 30k. So I would assume do it again at 60k and 90k.

I would not go past 30k for changing the diff fluid and perhaps at 20k is a better idea. After that, just follow the maintenance schedule.

I wouldn't be concerned with 155 miles or 200 miles on a car as long as you are not planning to keep the car past its warranty.

If my insurance rates go up drastically, I will consider trading in my Blackwing for a different sports car.

Break in is not 500 miles. Check the owner's manual.

This is just plain wrong that when there is an update, it turns the system back on. Don't get me started on our information being shared with insurance companies without our approval.

You have brought up an interesting point that we are being monitored and the data is being used by insurance companies to raise their rates. How wide spread is this? Auto insurance has skyrocketed as far as costs. Is there any end to this run away inflation?

And also rude BMW drivers.

We are not talking about Germany where the roads are far superior to ours. I also bet that the Germans put high quality tires since they are traveling above 100. Americans buy the cheapest tire they can because they are uninformed and others don't care about the only item on a car that is...

I have a problem with people going over 100. Not only is it dangerous to everyone, but it encourages others to drive irresponsibly. Most people driving fast don't even have proper tires. One idiot who was driving incredibly fast wasn't paying attention to the slowing traffic ahead and stomped...
