Interestingly enough, I see no mention anywhere that Hennessey is working with the factory controllers. I suspect they are using a piggyback setup as I've only heard of one tuner who has cracked global-b for a Blackwing (4 only and last I read they're still working on cracking the 5.)

The other confounding factor is the newest cars (including BWs) have encrypted networks and are proving to be VERY expensive to crack if you can at all. Combined with the EPA going after after-market tuners, it's not going to be worth it for most tuners to play in this space long-term (I expect...

That motor was produced in such low numbers (1,500?) for a market segment (flagship large luxury sedan) that is even less likely than the mid-sized luxe sedan market to push their cars that I'd be surprised to see significant tuning investments from the aftermarket (especially with Feds and some...

Dealership parts department will typically match online prices so find the lowest cost for both numbers and then have your dealership order whichever is the right one.

If anything ANC is diminishing it! You need to have someone drive your car while you stand on the curb outside when they get on it. You'll probably be shocked.

That fake engine noise is actually your engine. GM uses ANC to remove what they called 'undesirable harmonics' whatever that means (I suspect it's part of why you can hear the supercharger outside but not inside.)

Is this issue for 4BW or 5BW?

No problem with mine.

I don't leave home without it (whether I'm driving the BW or wife's X5.) Had it prior V3 as well and would never go back!

Interesting...mine didn't go out but I noticed an update had been applied to the user interface for maps and other apps. I wonder if you had something go wrong during an OTA update maybe??

Well that went fast - I'm too late! All gone it appears

I had the exact same separation on my 5BW and similar toe challenges - makes me think the car may have been misaligned coming off the truck:

Huh...come to think of it, I wonder if I ever had an alignment before my tires shredded like that?? I had similar toe issues on my 5BW. We might need to get these things aligned as soon as they come off the transporter. Will be interesting to see if my newer set of tires after alignment have...

I bought the Fumoto F137S for my 5BW recently (had the tech at the dealership install it during oil change as I do the in-betweens at home and the intervals at a GM dealer.) The order also included a safety clip as well as a valve and hose you can attach to run the oil straight into a collector...

To learn that Malcolm Gladwell is a car guy and his fun daily is a Blackwing??

ODDLY, I had to trash my tires and get a new set earlier this year for the EXACT same reason - separation between the inner sidewall and tread face. I had been checking the tread face at every gas stop (meaning every other day) and never saw this issue creep up on me. Ended up with a flat -...

I think that's an indicator that your gyros have stabilized and the Flux capacitor has come online.

My black 5BW can with nearly flawless paint. I suspect it's because I received it in August 2021 so it never sat around in a lot somewhere lending itself to becoming victimized by a lot attendant with a dirty brush and a hurried schedule...

If it fits your budget, YES! The Blackwing interior isn't cutting edge, so I'd dress it up as much as possible if I were you to make it more tolerable (I have this option with carbon fiber seats and wouldn't be happy with less in this case.) I'm hoping the interior update is significant...

Every chance I get!
