Just posted today. Over in MI but that is what shippers are for. https://www.cadillacvnet.com/forums/threads/5vbw-2022-m6-black-on-black.5922/

I have only been looking at the 5BW as that is what I was researching. I checked and CT4-V colors are the same except for Mercury Silver Metallic being available on the CT4 in 2024. I have updated the chart with that color and it is now complete for both CT4-V and CT5-V (including BW).

Added touch-up paint numbers to the chart

"In 2025, a motorized carriage will be unable to see what is to the left nor to the right unlike those that cometh before and after." I guess it's true when they say that only in hindsight do Nostradamus' predictions make any sense.

I started considering the 5BW in 2024. So my only knowledge of prior year colors came from reading posts on this forum. I was surprised to see two different frost colors. I never see any discussions about them. Probably because they cost 6x a regulator metallic color. The other surprise was...

These are the V-Series (including BW) paint colors for 2022-26. The only difference between CT4-V and CT5-V is CT4 had an additional color choice in 2024 (Mercury Silver Metallic) . Only Summit White and Black Raven have been available for the entire run. Let me know if anything is wrong and...

Sounds like a 2026 model with blind spot monitoring in your preferred color is in your future. Congrats on sticking to your guns and for sharing your story. Other people need to be warned about dealerships that behave this way so they can avoid them.

Thanks for sharing the link to the 2026 order guide. Changes from 2025 to 2026 seem to be: - parking package now standard - performance data reorder standard - blind zone steering assist on 6MT cars I could not see anything else different including the colors (exterior and interior) all being...

TenTonTony previously posted that this will not work: "the SVR application is installed, and can be opened by asking the Google Assistant to open the "Surround Vision" app, but it will only display a screen telling you that it needs a minimum 64GB USB drive, with the proper formatting, and...

Thanks for confirm that the parts are in the trunk. I will have the dealership install and do a track alignment before I pick up the car.

Can anyone who took delivery of a Precision Package car confirm the following from the original press release? “a second set of rear toe-control links are provided—they come in the trunk, and are about 0.1 inch longer“

Just in time for nice weather. Congrats!

I passed over many other cars due to lack of MT. I love that GM is offering it in a Cadillac when even the Corvette does not. Crazy!

I sold my GT350 to make way for a 5BW. The GT350 is not nearly as much power as the GT500 but it offers a similar experience compared to a 5BW. I have not taken delivery of it yet so I cannot say if there will be any regrets. I certainly understand giving up a car with a very visceral...

Same number as listed on their website. ;shrug https://www.springmountainmotorsports.com/cadillac/cadillac-2-day

CCB should be less prone to heat soak than steel rotors. Certainly should not generate enough heat on a mountain run to boil the brake fluid. Unless a pad is dragging on the rotor or the stock fluid is really bad. But I have not heard that before even from people who track it. I would think you...

Thanks for the useful post. Glad to hear the Blackwing CCB rotors seem to hold up better than Vette. I may just do a couple of track days and see how they look Did you get Alcon to make steel rotors for the CT5 or for a different car?

Le Monstre price is $32.5k in the US. https://gmauthority.com/blog/2025/03/heres-how-much-the-2025-cadillac-ct5-v-blackwing-le-monstre-edition-costs/

Cost is the main factor. Much cheaper to replace metal than carbon ceramic. Plus, I can easily determine if a metal rotor is at the end of its life by measuring the thickness. Carbon rotors need to be removed and weighed. The extra weight of the metal rotors is only a minor concern. I don’t...
