Needs a wash

Top-end seats are firmer (due to the different bits underneath for the venting) otherwise AFAIK there is no dif in those regards.

I wasn't kidding - in the context of this thread. It is the easier option (yes reg & all that is a pain) IMHO as it's better than having a patchwork interior. Good to hear you are enjoying the important bit of BW ownership, they are beauts to drive!

Woulda been a lot easier to just go - Search or GTFO - I thought this was way more than pleasant.

Of course, it's right in the acronym: Accelerated Delivery Markup

Or just 6 5BW owners to swap engines

You guys are making this waaaaay too complicated. Just swap cars: Car A: A 2022 Rift Metallic Manual with the light gray and black suede back seats, carbon ceramic breaks, and Bronze rims and Calipers, Sunroof, and Black capped mirrors Car B: Rift 6M with jet black mid-level seats, ceramic...

Well see there's your first mistake right there: ordering a BW. Can't troubleshoot that. Only remedy is to cancel, more popular than you might think.

Ah man - laugh to cry. Do they have any used Hondas or Toyotas on the lot they could bring instead.

JFC! That is brutal! 2 heart transplants in a week isn't good. Sure don't want to have to change the thread title to - how many miles till your failure :-( Hopefully you got better than an Encore loaner.

The F87 was definitely a more upright design and rear space in the G87 looks to be - and is reported as - way worse, even for the weight & size increase. 4BW definitely be better than it. M2 to 5BW is like going to an M5 really. For me even the G8x M3/M4 is bigger than I want, which is why I...

You have to wait until you get to the kids birthday party to put your shoes on: problem solved.

Thanks for a couple line breaks OP! I have now reread and am even more thrilled for you! You bought a 5BW congrats! I was happy you replaced the mirror on your S8, but ya this is much better.

Interesting. Thanks for the update OP. I guess the silver-lining is a brand new engine instead of a Frankensteined one & hopefully it doesn't take too long! They should give you 2 complimentary V Academy Days to make up for having 2 engines & well basically 2 of everything as an apology.

That's the exhaust setting we do have access to in My Mode. I was referring to the throttle. And I just checked the quick guide and throttle is actually the same in Tour and Sport. So maybe that stuff I mentioned early and was all whatevs about is true, lol

Yes so MY22 owners wouldn't cry (didn't work) when MY23s start showing up with the 'Blackwing' sub title on the trunk. So folks were wondering if they'd be sorted out in time for early '23s... think we all knew the answer :LOL:

Ya it definitely didnt stay in VMode. I remember complaining about My Mode lacking the Engine option and someone said it was something about preventing having the non-default throttle at startup. Didn't really make any sense to me at the time and now less so. Unless Sport engine throttle is the...

Fantastic! I think... line breaks Sir! Line breaks! :LOL: The easy wall of text pisstakes aside, genuinely fantastic stuff! I think the Blackwings have brought a bunch of new folks to Caddy that never would have considered it before. Like you, I've never had a car from one of the big 3, but 4k...

Isn't this counter-intuitive? The vast majority who are non-car people won't care what your car is. Marque-specific car people, who aren't up on Caddy, will now start asking what that is. Car nerds will engage to talk about it being a Blacking AND de badging thoughts and tips ;) TBF, I always...

You need to get into the track section. It tells you to swap brake fluid and other bits and bobs.
