    Does A Radar Detector Help Anymore?

    Yeah here in SOCAL, every time I see a cop he has his speed gun up to his face. I see about 3 to 4 cops a day (150 mile/4hr work drive), mostly bike cops. I can't imagine a radar detector would do anything here. It was the same in Hawaii oddly enough. All bike cops and they always had their...

    Considering buying a buyback 5BW - blown motor issues resolved?

    Damn all this hate on the E92's is crazy. I must have lucked out in a major way. I had an E92 M3 that I owned for almost 8yrs. In those 8yrs I had my O2's go at 98k, thermostat at 102k and then the TA's at 108k. I bought the car with 30k miles on it, dropped the ESS VT625 SC in there at 65k...

    Pics of your Blackwing in regular parking spots

    I was DD'ing mine 150'ish a day when I had it. The worst part about it was the gas mileage and having to fill up every other day. I was spending close to $1k a month in gas. Would do it again. I LOVED driving my car every day.

    CT5-V Carmax experience

    They gave me 80k for it, which is what I owed so I broke even I guess. lol

    Multi-topic thread on retirement and second car

    I am very much into fishing, so a boat may be what comes next. I hear the Carolinas have very good offshore fishing.

    Multi-topic thread on retirement and second car

    I retired from the military after 24yrs of service. I joined right out of highschool so it's nice to have retirement pay so early on. I've been working a contractor job since I retired which pays really well. Having just got my 100% disability, I'm not contemplating the point of working any...

    CT5-V Carmax experience

    Holy shit bro that's just fucking ridiculous. I'm crying inside seeing that picture. I miss the car so much. To the point that I'm back looking for something else to get in to. This car hobby is expensive. haha.

    CT5-V Carmax experience

    Just FYI about the price (well for a reference point). My 22 (New Owner 22 CT5BW) Had every option (including the carbon backed seats) but not the suede steering wheel or shifter. I traded it in on a daily and the Audi dealership only had it on the lot for 3 days and it was gone. They gave...

    Used Value Trend

    I just traded my blackwing because I haven't had a single need for a 4dr car. Carvana offered me 71k and CarMax offered me 70k. So I traded it in on another car and the dealership gave me 78k. Almost broke even. Maybe carvana and CarMax were pricing based on a standard 5V and not the...

    What did you do to your Blackwing today?

    Lexus RC350 Nothing exciting. Just something that's good on gas and reliable. It's got the Mark Levinson sound system so at least the stereo is off the chain lol

    What did you do to your Blackwing today?

    It's with heavy heart that I had to let the BW go. :cry: Between all the changes with my schedule at work and no real need for a super sedan. I got a good offer on it and moved to something that won't require me to stop at the gas station every other day to fill up. I'll still come around to...

    Advice for prospective buyer

    Dealership might be buying my car from me. I see you're in cali. Let you know what comes out of it. lol. Just as an FYI, I searched yesterday across the nation and there isn't one for sale with all the options I have. So I'm not sure what you're looking for when it comes to options (besides...

    4BW died at 1500 miles

    The 4 is still a 4 door sedan I don't need. My girl has a SUV if we need more space for anything. I have considered the M2 tho. I hear they're great fun cars. Definitely wouldn't be newer as I hate all the digital screens across the entire dash.

    4BW died at 1500 miles

    I came from an M4 and this CT5VBW is so much better in every way (except MPG LOL). But one thing I've come to realize is that it's a bit TOO much for my daily driving requirements. I also have no need for a 4dr super sedan right now. I'd never go back to BMW M cars as they've lost the mark in...

    Check engine light at 900 miles

    great news I guess. Hopefully that didn't cause any other issues. 🤞

    What did you do to your Blackwing today?

    Damn that's awesome. I bought my car back in Feb with 18k miles on the clock. I'll be crossing 25k today on my way home from work. Now I need to schedule an oil change haha.

    5BW 6MT Performance Driving

    I DD my car and drive about 3hrs a day, mostly highway and that includes sitting in SOCAL traffic. I don't notice any change in the transmission during that driving. I DO experience a change in clutch/transmission feel when I give the business from stop sign/red lights. The clutch gets much...
