On a BW5 manual (which I am just assuming is the same for a 4!), you have to be in one of the race modes. You just then floor it and release the clutch. You have to be at a full stop and the steering wheel straight. LC is set to automatic but you can go into a manual mode and make your own...
I am at Lockhart Cadillac in Indianapolis getting some race prep done on my 5BW and it appears they have 3 4BWs available. All autos 😩 and one is an IMSA version. Good dealership to deal with. Just an FYI.
I tracked my 5BW at Gingerman Raceway at an SCCA Track Night event. Great format, about three hours and we had 3x20 minute sessions. The track is a technical, little track that isn't particularly friendly to a 4000 lbs car but it was fun. The biggest mistake I made was going out with the...
I had a 2016 Audi S4 manual which I loved and wish I still had. Then I had an S6 which was a great car but lacked personality. Neither cost me a cent in repairs and I did ok when getting out of each of them. I love my 5BW but I have had a ton of issues and it took GM 9 months to figure out the...
You are probable not going to like this but here goes. Get an Apple phone, it is slightly more secure than an android and Apple Car Play is more intuitive than android. You then have your choice of Apple Maps, MapQuest, Waze or even Google Maps all with free lifetime updates. We don't have...
I am glad someone brought this up. Plus, they will not point up far enough to blow cold air where it needs to go. Doesn't help much when it all goes to the floor. I have found that air circulation in general is rather poor, particularly in the summer. It doesn't help that there is little or no...
This is kind of fun. My 5BW 6MT is a daily driver but this discussion has gone around before. It seems that many of the early buyers were adamant that these were to be garage queens that were to be exposed to the elements only a few times per year and only in the best of weather. The earlier...
You could have written this about me. But I was looking at RS6 Avanti before I decided on the manual 5BW. Loved my B8 S4 6mt. My S6 was ok but needed a manual transmission! :)
After 9 frustrating months, it is fixed! GM engineers worked on it and installed a data logger that transmitted back to somewhere. They finally figured out that it was a fuel issue but weren't sure what was causing it so they decided to replace almost everting in the fuel system. The dealer made...
I was there March 20-21 and had a blast. Rained most of the time and my group really got nailed in the autocross. Rained really hard. We then went out for a session on the track and had to slow to cross a river in turn two every lap. But we learned a lot about the various modes as we were...
Welcome! I got my 5BW last July from Lockhart and I haven't seen another in the wild until the other day. I spotted a black 5BW in Plainfield. I live on the west side of Indy.
