    About to Order, Engine Failure Questions

    I'm not a fan of the XTs (nothing wrong with them and absolutely not a single thing exciting about them) but with them all going away, I fear Cadillac is being a bit too obstinate with an all-EV strategy. They need to read the room better because mainstream America and the ruling pols are giving...

    How much of that noise is fake?

    For $15, not bad. Would love to know what difference they make in a BW.

    When Do You Change Your Oil?

    About every 3500 - 5000 miles. I do some at the dealership and the in-betweens at home.

    Rear view mirror adjustment

    If my experience is typical, your eyes will adjust IF you commit 100% to the camera mirror. Between my 5BW and prior V3, I've got over 100k miles with the camera mirror and vastly prefer it to a regular glass mirror.

    CT5-V Anyone else had the Infotainment not boot up on engine start?

    Not unusual after an OTA software update in my experience. The other variant is where only the HUD is missing but shows up either by moving the display higher or restarting the car.

    Feature & Option Differences Between CT4-V Blackwing and CT5-V Blackwing

    Another difference - carbon fiber seats are an option on the 5, only available on special editions of the 4. The 4 has an option for CF canards that don't exist on the 5.

    Blackwing Seat Piping Material

    Have you done this before? What type of protection do you have to put on top of the paint to preserve it and what type of special paint do you need that's pliable enough to not flake off when the piping bends?? Just curious as have never thought of doing something like this on my own (did...

    How the heck do I replace the battery!

    I would install a battery tender under the hood using the remote terminal.

    Dealer finally fixed driver window noise. 11.5 hours of labor. 6 weeks in the shop. 120 road test miles.

    Isn't it great when you find a dealer who cares?!? In my experience, that's the challenge with domestic brands - very hit or miss. When you're dealing with foreign luxury brands (like BMW with their higher margins) you get much better consistency.

    Blackwing GM customer support number?

    You're probably aware, but just in case, GM is eventually going to want you to go through a dealer for support of the issue. If you're not getting the support you need from your current dealer, it may be quicker to start with another dealer than trying to get a tier 1 customer support agent to...

    Attempted Theft in Austin

    I'll wade into this one... As a non-Texan who has spent a LOT of time there, I'll take Austin and San Antonio over flat and plain DFW but I'd take DFW over the muggy crime-infested swamp called Houston (but vastly prefer their home prices!) Dawning my asbestos underwear now!

    Conti Extreme Contact dws06 plus vs. Michelin Pilot Sport all season 4 ?

    Great point. I should have clarified, we get ice but very little snow in suburban Seattle (and when we do, I'll drive a SUV, rarely the M3 or the 5BW.)

    Conti Extreme Contact dws06 plus vs. Michelin Pilot Sport all season 4 ?

    I have a set of PS AS3 tires on an older M3 and they're just fine in the winter. But I don't exactly push that wallet bomb of a S65 motor anytime at all these days...

    Conti Extreme Contact dws06 plus vs. Michelin Pilot Sport all season 4 ?

    AS means All Season whereas the stock PS 4S is a bepoke (specific to the Blackwing forumlation) summer (3 season) tire.

    Owning a low volume production car can have its drawbacks...

    Maybe search junk yards online? It will be some work to extract a harness but probably a lot quicker.

    Michelin PS4S issue

    Aha, just stumbled across a video showing this tire issue with Taycans, Teslas, etc. It's due to excess negative camber(start around 4:15): The reason I haven't seen this on the replacement tires is probably because I followed up the install with an alignment.

    Michelin PS4S issue

    I've only seen the issue with the stock tires. The replacement OEMs with the same TPC code haven't seen the same issue on my car.

    2025 M5 vs. 2025 CT5-V BW

    Maybe paste the M5 build specs as the code doesn't work (maybe requires an account or local cookie?)
