    CT4 turbos..

    The typical path for more turbo noise is intake + catless DPs + turbo inlet. There's no turbo inlet for the stock turbos available AFAIK, so intake + DPs will be the current path for now.

    Widest 20" Rear Wheels on CT4-VBW?

    It's already a tight fit with 19" and 295 or 305 in the rear. Personally would stick with 18" or 19".

    CT4V BW PPF - who has done it, and what panels

    I called the PPF shop that handles my body's shop insurance claims. They said they've had no issues with lift as long as I wait the proper amount of time. I'd rather wait the time designated by the body shop since they'll be warrantying the paint in case it does. Mostly to cover my own ass :)

    CT4V BW PPF - who has done it, and what panels

    My Rift metallic is fully PPF'd (all painted areas + headlights and taillights). Currently getting some repairs done at a body shop and will need to re-do the front bumper, passenger fender, and door for $1800.. after waiting 30 days for the paint to cure properly. Sucks not being able to drive...

    18" Aftermarket Wheels

    Hit up Klotz Bro Racing. Nick knows a great deal about CT4-V and 5-V BW fitment. A lot of us has moved onto 19" BC Forged wheels. Most are running 295-305 in the rear and 275 up front with no rubbing.

    CT4-V Blackwing on E30 = 546 whp

    If your map is specifically targeting a certain E mix, you'll have to do it the old fashioned way. Grab an ethanol test kit. Once you get the percentage from the test kit, you can use an E85 calc (there are plenty online or even apps) and plug in your numbers and wallah. To take the guesswork...

    CT4-V CT4 BW: Do we have resonators?

    Looking at as much underbody images/videos as possible, and I don't see any resonators from the downpipes to the muffler. I'll eventually go catless downpipe and looking at a custom muffler or possibly a muffler delete down the line. Can anyone confirm? Thanks.

    Why choose a CT4 BW over a new BMW M3? Sincerely asking.

    1. Looks. Can't do the G80 grill. And the 4BW with CF1/2 is really sporty but also classy looking. 2. Inputs: steering, brakes, steering, and manual are all better. The ZF 6-speed in my 340i was awful. And the M3 isn't much better. The Tremec is a different class. Also hated numb BMW steering...

    Sunroof explosion.....WTF??

    If your dealer is giving you a hard time, this should be covered under your auto insurance if you have glass added. I've heard of this happening on other cars as well. BMW, Benz, etc. Really unfortunate that happened to you.

    Road noise

    Y'all must have 3rd world country roads. The cabin noise is great in-town and on the highway. The ANC does its job. I'll have to use my dBA meter on my phone to check and compare to my daily E90. That one definitely has more road noise but nothing too bad either.

    CT4-V Rear wing is warping in the heat

    On my previous cars, I would use Gorilla tape (heavy duty mounting tape). https://a.co/d/3E9fTED Holds up to 30lbs and is some heavy duty stuff.

    Swift springs and BC forged installed

    May I ask what was the reason you went with 67mm instead of 66.9mm? Just to be on the safe side?

    Swift springs and BC forged installed

    Did you need to run any hub centric ring adapters? Or were they custom made to fit our bore size? If so, what bore size did you give them? Thanks!

    Swift springs and BC forged installed

    BC Forged wheels are in the $3500-$4k range typically.

    Buy the 2023 4BW or wait for refresh (2024)

    The biggest thing is the switch over to the Google built-in infotainment. What's head scratching is, some of their 2022/2023 Chevy trucks already have this, but not their luxury brand??? I pay the monthly $25 subscription for unlimited hotspot / connected navigation / remote app. Right now, it's...

    Update installation

    Did mine today as well. "GM N22-238693" - "A variety of software improvements to make your in-vehicle experience better." Sounds like an infotainment update.

    Subwoofer Install

    For those of you who have disabled ANC with a subwoofer, how's the interior noise? Any significant difference with it disabled? Does this also disable the fake engine noise or are those 2 separate things? Thanks!

    retrofitting CT5 display in CT4

    I hate all the new tech in the 4BW, but one thing I do wish it had was a bigger screen. You can get a bigger screen in any other luxury car, top performance trim or not. And on $30k Kias and Hyundais. That said, it's adequate and it's placed close enough to me that the size isn't a big deal...
