    CT5-V 2025 CT5 Blackwings - have your dealer check oil plug on the front of the engine (Service Bulletin attached)

    Is this standard across the board to address this Service Update? Not sure how I feel about having to use an epoxy........ I really hope to hell that this issue doesn't rear its ugly head for those of us with 2025s several years/miles down the road. This is just so terribly...

    CT5-V 2025 CT5 Blackwings - have your dealer check oil plug on the front of the engine (Service Bulletin attached)

    I have been in contact with my dealer to be sure this is looked at when they get mine in. I guess it isn't a bad thing that mine has been sitting in MI since early Jan.....gives some time to work out these colossal blunders. Mine continues to sit out there as the projected delivery date keeps...

    Enclosed Shipping Options

    Yep, from Sewell. Decisions, decisions. Anyone have any clue what the enclosed transport would run? Ballpark?

    Enclosed Shipping Options

    That is an idea. Car would be in Dallas. Does anyone have any recommendations for a shop there? I would actually like to PPF the entire vehicle. What about break in period? Might have to be disciplined to keep it under 4K on the Interstate.

    Order bank open date 2025 CT5V BW?

    I think this experience shared by chrishuy needs its own thread. I would be absolutely furious!!!

    Enclosed Shipping Options

    Hey all, Soon I will be done with the Goat Rodeo (hopefully) and I am starting to think about transport options. I had to use an out of state dealer due to allocations and no markup over MSRP. I have thought about driving the Blackwing home, but after 18 months in the Goat Rodeo and my recent...

    Order bank open date 2025 CT5V BW?

    I have heard that GM may have changed transport companies. That is probably the hold up. Great, I wonder how big the backlog is......

    HUD without data recorder?

    Are these both a package deal on the 5 as well? Or just the 4s?

    Does A Radar Detector Help Anymore?

    Well I have a Valentine One ready to install once my Blackwing leaves the Black Hole of Michigan. I live in a rural area and small city cops are the worst in my experience. Way too much idle time, many of which are hopped up on a Robocop fantasy without terribly high IQs (I certainly back the...

    Pics of your Blackwing in regular parking spots

    What an absolutely stunning color this is!! Wow! I am so glad that is the color I ordered sight unseen. Mine has bronze wheels. Now if it will just get delivered already........

    Order bank open date 2025 CT5V BW?

    Just spoke to the Dealer this am. Mine has been built for a little while now and is just sitting out there in the elements. No word on when the vehicle will actually ship out. BOOOOOOOOOOOOO!! I think the final push in the Goat Rodeo may be the hardest...

    Any pics or videos of Deep Space Metallic on a real car?

    Seeing these pictures is a huge sigh of relief. I was torn between Typhoon Metallic and Deep Space Metallic. A huge decision, complicated by not being able to actually see each color in person. Went with Deep Space and am glad I did (couldn't go wrong between the two colors I suppose). Can't...

    CT4-V Blkwng - "Your order ... has not officially been accepted by GM at this time."

    TheShark summed it up perfectly!! I would only add: They say it is worth it. I sure hope so as I am still in the arena. Can't wait to get outta here!!!

    General Advice for First Time 5BW Owners

    Hello all, First I would like to say that this forum has been invaluable to me. I really appreciate all the knowledge I have gained and many of you have been quite helpful on my mission to acquire a 5BW. After almost 2 years in the goat rodeo, I am about to take delivery of a '25 5BW...

    CT5-V Manual 25 Blackwing no blindspot monitoring. Why

    Gotcha. Well not to hijack the thread, but when do you think GM will stop producing these things? Do you think there with be a '26 or '27?

    CT5-V Manual 25 Blackwing no blindspot monitoring. Why

    Well shoot........three features I would have really liked to have (volume knob, blindspot monitoring, and surround video recorder). Not the end of the world but certainly disappointing. Still doesn't trump having a manual though. With a vehicle at this price point, many (myself for sure)...

    Order bank open date 2025 CT5V BW?

    My 5BW has a VIN and now a window sticker. Now, of course, waiting for delivery. Anyone have any idea when that could be? Estimate? Venture a guess?

    Order bank open date 2025 CT5V BW?

    Looks like you may be in the Dallas area. Please tell me it wasn't ******** Cadillac. (Edit: By your latest post, it is not this dealer). In my mind it is hard to believe they would do this, but maybe I am naive. I would be furious for sure, but on the other hand I suppose there might not be...

    Order bank open date 2025 CT5V BW?

    Looks like my 5BW is scheduled to be built this next week. Could it be? Could it really be? This is actually happening?? Realistically what does this mean as far as the overall timeline goes? How long does it take them to build these things and then how long does it take them to ship them...
