Did some spirited driving through mountain roads last weekend and since, my car developed a shudder/vibration upon takeoff from a standstill. If I exaggerate the throttle input a bit while coming off the clutch, its not as apparent but if you take off like normal, the car shudders/vibrates. Only...

Any SV905 photos on a 5BW yet?

Also experienced the rear end float recently. 3rd gear, onramp on to highway, not WOT but moderate throttle input and the rear end was dancing around a bit. Any other feedback from folks who either ordered the SPL arms and/or had an alignment done?

I leave auto rev matching off during "spirited" driving as I depress the brake pedal far enough for smooth heel/toe action but during all other driving scenarios I've grown to enjoy the auto feature for effortless downshifts. This is the first manual car I've owned that has this feature and I...

Its the size of the fuel tank that was a surprise to me but I've gotten used to it. 20 or even 21 gallons would've been ideal. My C63S AMG had a larger fuel tank than the BW. The turning radius still gets me. I do less 3 point maneuvers in my wife's Tahoe :). All to say this car freaking...

Turning radius.

Non-negotiable must haves for me were manual transmission, CF1 package and the non-base seats. Manual for obvious reasons and the CF1 package because the car looks too plain without it imo. Non-base seats for enhanced bolstering and looks. Otherwise the car comes well equipped before adding...

Nice! Would look killer on my radiant red bw.

I was having the same dilemma and placed an order for a ‘25. As I was on the goat rodeo with CF delays, a used ‘24 popped up that was highly equipped and I jumped on it. The ‘25 build was $114K MSRP and the ‘24 I bought was $130K MSRP when new. I paid much less than that. No regrets.

Just like most stated, difficult to beat the specific PS4S tire. The latest Pzero PZ5 is supposed to be a phenomenal tire in the same category but I’m unable to find them in CT5 BW OEM sizes just yet.

Nicknamed mine Black Widow after the Marvel character. I’ve been nicknaming my cars after characters for the last 4 or so cars I’ve owned. Why Black Widow? Well there is the “black” commonality with “Blackwing” and my car is radiant red and she’s a red head… :)

Thanks. Should add- was a spirited uphill run prior to the downhill and the difference in pedal travel was noticeable on the way down. I’m going to take a drive again soon and play around with different brake modes to see if any difference. I’ll have the dealer service the fluid next oil change.

Kinda off-topic. My car has CCB's- does this require any different type of brake fluid vs steel? Some background: I went for a spirited drive through the mountains and after heavy downhill braking for several miles, I noticed the pedal travel increased a bit. Full disclosure I had the brake...

I would go back and ask the wheel guy who can send you a link to the exact ones you need. I'm assuming you ordered it from Terrance at signature wheels? He'd definitely know the correct ones to order based on the wheels you ordered. Which wheels did you order by the way?

Yeah seems to be not very common to do so on these cars. Refined Performance touts working directly with swift to develop their springs for the BW which is enticing. Wish KW made their height adjustable springs for our cars. The fixed ones tend to lower the front more than I like, leading to a...

I came from a '21 C63S sedan (essentially the same car as yours) into a '24 manual BW. Transmission should be the deciding factor as some hinted at above. If you are going with an auto, I would consider an F90 M5 comp over a BW. Manual is what makes this car special. It's a good daily overall...

@FISH22 these are 19s right?? These look really good on your car. I've seen photos of this wheel in 19" configuration on other cars (albeit different wheel and exterior colors) and they look small/underwhelming. Looks perfect on yours- especially considering your car isn't lowered.

Mine is a ‘24 with almost 4K miles and does it as well. I chocked it up to the clutch/flywheel (with no proof- just from experience or having modified flywheel vehicles making similar sounds during operation in low speeds) and gotten used to it at this point. Whole lotta power going through that...

I will say the 5bw does give me “range anxiety” every time I fill up and it’s less than 200 miles to empty but agree with comments that the experience makes up for it. I would’ve paid extra for a larger fuel tank in a heartbeat.

Blendmount + mirrortap for my radar detector.
