Great review! What did you have before? Anything smaller and more nimble?

I’m 6’2 and even though I have the seat pretty upright, my boys could not have their feet straight. Maybe once they are out of boosters and their feet can be on the floor it will be better.

So the BW5 feels heavier than the SS did? I told mine with 3300 miles and it was Orange Blast Metallic before the pandemic. I should have held it a couple more years. That said, yes, it always felt like the chassis could handle way more power.

I miss my F80’s for this reason as well, plus the interior was perfection, minus the rattles. I think about getting another. Thank you for this! The CT4V would be awesome, but the back seat is just too small. I’ve brought my twin 6 years old twice to the dealer now, so it’s down to the G80 or...

Besides the obvious big improvements such as interior, power and suspension, what else do you like better over the SS? Just curious as I had a SS 5 years ago or so. Does the CT5 drive smaller? The SS always felt a bit big for me and it’s roughly the same dimensions as the 5.

A great result for sure, but isn’t that still a bit odd for such a new car?

Went to give the CT4 one last try with my twin 5 year olds and yeah it is just too small. Their feet don’t make it to the floor, so their feet are twisted a bit sideways between the seat back and the bottom seat cushion. What is crazy is that they both fit just fine in the back of my LS6 powered...

Wow, some stellar comments that really make it a bit of a no brainier, minus the $100k. Love the CT4 comparison to the Miata, but I’m 6’2” and I have twin almost 6 years olds that are already 48” tall, plus a 5’6” 12 year old. I think I might enjoy the CT4 dynamics more, but I think it’s too...

Which M3? I sold my F80 last fall and the G80 is another option. Interesting as that is one of my sport car options if I go with a nicer daily and a sports car. How does the GT350 and 5VBW compare?

I’ve actually considered one with a sports car to go with it, but really trying to get to a single car solution and with that a manual is a must.

Good feedback, thank you! With the low torque does does that allow you to shift more often as you do not feel the need to regularly see redline. Those first two gears being so long is also a bit annoying, but maybe you shift a bit earlier to get your shift in. Anyone ever go from first to 5th...

How do you find the CT5V BW manual in normal, boring driving? I had a 911 996 Turbo w/500whp a while back and it was not really fun until you were deep into 3rd gear, which at the point you are a felon. I think the CT4V is probably more my jam in terms of daily fun, but the back seat room is a...

It was a good video. Someone had commented that he wished he test drove one before he bought it. I asked him why and this was his response: “Truth be told I like slow cars you can actually have fun in but I also have a ctsv2 so I figured I'd like the ct4 but I guess not. I would rather have a...

Wow @99sport, first time I’ve ever heard so much negative about the ZHP, but I totally get it and agree. Getting another ZHP is not on top of my list, but just wondering if the BW4 was close dynamically. I have been trying to replace that feel since I traded my ZHP in in 2006. @Roadhawk thanks...

Roadhawk, how does you CT4V Blackwing compare to the ZHP. I have over 70 cars, including 25 or so BMW’s, a bunch of Porsche’s, Miata’s and Corvette’s and my ZHP I had back in 04 was one of top two favorites. Considering getting another and a daily of just getting a BW4 manual. I run a business...
