@Throat Yogurt What am missing here? That looks like a much shorter gearbox set for the BMW (zmt) right…especially 1 and 2? BMW M3 Transmission Order Code ZMT Transmission Description Manual w/OD Number of Transmission Speeds 6 First Gear Ratio 4.11 Second Gear Ratio 2.32 Third Gear Ratio...

The 4BW is geared much taller than any 6-cyl BMW M-Car, (190MPH) so that might be why it feels sleepy compared to them at the same speed.

I suspect that unless the M5 is a special edition of some sort, the CT5 will hold its value better, especially if it is a manual trans CT5.

It's a CT4-V but it doesn't matter - I was just SUPER happy to see it (or any modern Cadillac) on TV!

Update - I found some proof from the Facebook Group

5BW wheels are a bit wider iirc so they will poke out and rub a little compared to 4bw wheels. Someone correct me if I’m wrong…?

Thought this was an interesting watch (and didn’t see it posted so apologies if I overlooked that):

Depends on how long you plan to keep the car or how big your family is, but the back seat of the CT4 is snug. The CT5 is more of an equivalent competitor to the M3 on price and size. The CT4 is more of an M2 competitor. I drove an M3 before deciding on my Ct4 and the steering, gearbox and...

This looks awesome…such a small change that would have been really nice to have in the car originally!

Of course the dealer wants you to take what they have on the lot. If you look around you might be able to find a car out of state though (what I ended up doing) - and that is probably the way to go if the dealer won’t build you your car. And spending this much money…you should have it EXACTLY...

Has there been any testing/dyno work been done to see if the different exhaust modes have an effect on horsepower? Like, does “stealth” cost horsepower over the loudest mode? Maybe @WONT TAP knows…?

Couldnt find it easily but here is a good place to start. If I can track it down I’ll update this thread: https://9to5mac.com/2023/11/15/iphone-15-wireless-charging-gm-problems/

There is a software update for the phone issue. Next time you take it in to the dealer they should be able to help you with that.

I dunno - it sounds like he liked it just fine to me. The article is a little…flimsy…I wouldn’t call it much of a road test…but they said the same things most of the other mags said with the exception of the steering. Nothing really to report other than another comparison to cars that start at...

Some folks have been removing the OEM muffler for more noise so I’m wondering if that is what happened to your car. Maybe try adjusting the different exhaust volumes to make sure all of that is still active…?

@DAC17 TLDR: The CT5 BW is like the actor wrestler The Rock. Huge personality. Definitely didn't skip the gym. Laid back, but if you piss him off he's going to pick you up by your neck and throw you through a window. He's powerful, outspoken, and brash. I'll go so far to call this, "American...

Have you done any track days or performance driving? Maybe it’s your calipers changing color ever so slightly…? The wheels seem to look fine to me (I have the same ones on my car) but I do know that a trip up the road turns them bronze to gray pretty quickly…

Makes me wonder if your spark plugs are fouled or fouling. It’s just off of idle? What happens when you let it rip?

Do you always fill up at the same gas station? If not, what kind of fuel do you use?

Kind of the problem these days…everyone has a podium and there’s TOO much in unknowledgeable content to sort through.
