    CT5-V Blackwing vs. Ioniq 5 N

    I guess they hate it even more when you tell them that time is still (barely) faster than the M3 CSL which best the M5 CS!

    Show Us Your 5BW Engine Bay

    So, how's the cerakote holding up under the heat of the engine bay after a couple of months? Does the grime still come off easier??

    You can now Watch YouTube on your factory screen.

    So, does this work in conjunction with the onboard entertainment or does it replace the native options (including CarPlay/Android Auto)? In other words, if I hit the 'home' button on the dash, do I get the regular options or do I have to unplug this device for that? Thx!

    Not sure I understand? Waze just works with either CarPlay or AndroidAuto projection from your phone.

    So... has anybody already done this??

    Media dumps

    I've got an e90 M3 with that interior color (but with the wood, not aluminum accents.) I too vastly prefer the ergonomics to the recent BMWs (we also have a pre mid-cycle update twin-turbo V8 X5 and I didn't realize how much I liked it until I rented the refreshed big screen X5 a couple of...

    What did you do to your Blackwing today?

    Just finished my umpteenth oil change. Changed out the Fumoto oil valve from the short nipple to long nipple version (used to have anxiety using the drain hose with the too short nipple variant.)

    2023 Brake Upgrades?

    I haven't tried them on my 5BW, but I've had good luck with Akebono pads in the past. Lot less brake dust BUT your emergency stopping distance is going to increase anytime you go with a harder (less porous) pad in my experience.

    ZERO issues on the track with the brakes.

    Man do I have a story for you all.

    I'd be asking GM to replace the car if I we're you...I wouldn't trust that car at all at this point.

    2025 5V BW gets new track package

    I buy black cars so the new front will be neutral to positive for me. On the fence about the big LED dash until I experience it (but happy for the new PDR with track coach.) Precision Pack will be a must. I think I'll wait until I hit 50k miles on my '22 5BW sometime next year and then pull the...

    I am not sure I love my 5BW

    I have an easy remedy. Swing by your BMW dealer in a few months for a test drive of the new 5,400-pound M5. Then hop back in your 5BW and voila!

    Need a funnel that actually works to get additives into 5wing tank

    I wouldn't do it if you're under warranty. The metallurgy in your motor was purpose built and adding something outside of GM's recommendations will have very little if any benefit and if you have an issue down the road, there's a possibility that GM can find this cause (beyond the fact that you...

    2025 Fat A** BMW M5

    Exactly! At least this new Panzer doesn't have the giant-sized kidney grills or the wanky split-level headlights of the 7 series spaceship.

    CT4-V blackwing vs cayman gts 4.0 vs z06

    Hey, my parents grew up farming meaning driving things like manual trucks and tractors which is to say we never had a manual car in the household in all my years! My wife is the one who taught me to row the gears many years ago!

    CT4-V blackwing vs cayman gts 4.0 vs z06

    Just did a search and it looks like (no idea if dealers are playing game with listings) hundreds of Z06s on Autotrader st or maybe below MSRP. Market has really slowed for 6 figure cars these days. If you're canyon carving, there no substitute for light weight 718. Else, get the Z06.

    2025 Fat A** BMW M5

    ...and it beat the current fastest BMW - the M3 CSL (it's close though.)
