Firstly, congratulations on putting so many miles on your 4BW. You obviously use it like it's meant to be. Kudos!
I have a '23 5BW (delivered 1/2023) & '23 C8 Stingray HTC 2LT (delivered 9/2022). The C8 has MagnaRide, performance exhaust & GT2 seats. I couldn't get the Z51 package bc it was on...
If you're looking at an Integra or M2/M3 as a comparo, then I think you should be looking at the 4BW instead of the 5BW.
There are plenty of A/S tires available for the 4BW OE wheels.

I had to add 6mm spacers on the rears to avoid rubbing the inside wheel well liner.
Just back from the car wash. I've had her for almost exactly 2 years. Picked her up from Otto Cadillac in Albany, NY on 1/28/2023. Currently have 38,349 on the odo. I've loved every single mile.
The CF is an easy aftermarket add-on. The PDR can be added on later but at a MUCH higher cost & level of difficulty. All things being equal, I'd take the '24.
Any warranty differences between to the 2 vehicles since the '24 is used?
I recently noticed I was 1 qt low. I'm at 25% oil life left. I know it was topped off correctly at the last oil change bc I personally know the dumbass tech very well since he also owns and drives the car. I was 1 qt low in between my last oil change as well.
To take out the controller, you have to:
Get into the footwell
Remove the throttle pedal (held in by a bolt)
Disconnect the throttle controller from a fiddly OEM connector on the pedal
Disconnect the throttle controller module from the OEM fiddly connector
Connect the OEM cable to the pedal...
Met BimmerFan & one other forum member today. We all braved the cold to meet & greet. Unbeknownst to us, there were a few other 4/5 BW's showing up as well. Altogether, there were 6 of us -- 4 5BW & 2 4BW. We all agreed this is the most number of BW's we've ever seen in one place/C&C.
I plan on being there tomorrow even though the temps are forecast to be in the low-30's. There might be one other person from this forum there. This C&C usually tends to be on the smaller side with only a few hundred or so cars in attendance. (Dunno how many will actually attend given the cold...
I've had my 5BW 6MT since Jan 2023 & now have >37k miles on her. When I had the OEM tires, I've had her at +170mph without issue. My 2020 Dodge Charger WB Hellcat felt more unstable at +160mph than the BW. I think it's bc the 5BW has slightly better aero even though I don't have any of the CF...
They are horrible compared to?
I currently have >37k miles on my 5BW that I bought new in Jan 2023. Therefore, I drive A LOT. Whatever trade off I have in the Michelin A/S vs the OEM tire is worth it to me because of all the rain I experience in the North Carolina Triangle area. The OEM tires...
From the Michelin website:
MICHELIN Pilot Sport A/S 4 325/30 ZR19 101(Y) ZP BSW
MICHELIN Pilot Sport A/S 4 275/35 ZR19/XL 100Y
I got their RF version on the rears because that's all they had at the time I needed new tires. I haven't had an issue with them. They are great in the rain as compared...
