That’s a good point about the functionality already existing. I honestly don’t know enough to confirm one way or the other. You might be able to just call Cadillac parts dept and ask them and see what they say. My hunch is the seats will be too big to fit. The 4 BW has a somewhat cramped interior.

Does your heat work?

I think you will have difficulty with functionality if it fits. There is a post I started on here about upgrading the base 4 seats and another member upgraded to the top tier 4 seats and did not have ventilation or massage functional with the upgraded seats, which makes sense as this is not in...

Lots of aftermarket air intakes are designed like this. It’s only open (for eye candy) when the hood is open. When the hood is closed it should be designed so that it seals against the hood like a closed box.

I owned a Focus RS for 5 years, great car. If it’s truly just fear of wear/tear and not something else, why not invest in paint protection film and ceramic coating? That solves the rain and nicks/scratches dilemma. Just a thought as the money you invest there would probably be a wash or offset...

Do you have the 4 or 5?

Yes, this should be well within their wheelhouse, but call them to confirm. Hell they might even install the exhaust for you if you ask them. I had them powder coat a big brake kit for my Miata and they also installed it, which is way more difficult than an exhaust. They also did PPF on my...

Cosmetics I use Aesthetic Styling in Naperville. Are you looking to have a custom exhaust fabricated or buy one and bolt it on?

Sent him a PM, thanks!

No, but those are tempting and nice find. Those are the top tier seats, mid tier looks similar but alcantara/cloth insert instead of leather. Looks like this:

I called Cadillac parts department and they said they can only order parts of the seats to assemble, which they won’t build a full seat and install it. They said my best bet was to find the mid-tier seats from a parted out 4 BW and it should just swap over. I posted in the wanted to buy section...

Hi All, Looking to buy the mid-tier bucket seats for a CT4V Blackwing. Called Cadillac and they said they don’t sell them and best bet would be to buy them from a parted out car.

Why not just buy a set of dedicated winter performance tires for the winter? You are doing yourself and your car a disservice by running all seasons, which won’t perform as well in the winter as a winter performance tire or as well as OEM in the summer. These are obviously high performance...

If you are interested in the manual and deciding between the two… get the manual. I owned manuals for 17 years, last year decided to get an automatic CLA 45 AMG and traded it in less than a year after ownership because I got bored with it. The Tremec 6 speed in the 4 Blackwing is fantastic...

Beat me to it!

882lbs from the battery and I’m guessing the rest is from the increased size as the car got bigger. From Car and Driver “the M5 has grown 1.2 inches longer overall, 2.7 inches wider, and 2.1 inches taller. Its wheelbase is also stretched by 0.9 inch.”...

Time will tell how it performs on the track. This car is over 1,000 lbs heavier than the outgoing version. I’m not sure how many 5K+ lb cars are designed and tested at the track. Could it put up impressive numbers for a lap or two? Probably. But how would it manage a 20 min + session? Not so...

It’s on Cadillacs website so seems legit. This is probably my favorite design and color combo of all the special editions. It’s limited to 101 for the 5 and 50 for the 4, so likely to have even more markup than the track editions.

Agreed. The Miata is an excellent drivers car and is widely recognized as such. The first difficult decision I have to make each day is which car I want to drive to work, the Miata or the Blackwing. Both cars are excellent but offer different experiences. Depending on each individual’s...

Agreed. Over the past decade or so I would always look at and fantasize about new cars coming to market, whether it be watching YouTube reviews or looking at Car and Driver. Now everything is a boring EV or SUV. All of the fun exciting vehicles have really died off with the exception of a few...
