I am glad someone brought this up. Plus, they will not point up far enough to blow cold air where it needs to go. Doesn't help much when it all goes to the floor. I have found that air circulation in general is rather poor, particularly in the summer. It doesn't help that there is little or no...

This is kind of fun. My 5BW 6MT is a daily driver but this discussion has gone around before. It seems that many of the early buyers were adamant that these were to be garage queens that were to be exposed to the elements only a few times per year and only in the best of weather. The earlier...

But only the Shadow knows .......

You could have written this about me. But I was looking at RS6 Avanti before I decided on the manual 5BW. Loved my B8 S4 6mt. My S6 was ok but needed a manual transmission! :)

After 9 frustrating months, it is fixed! GM engineers worked on it and installed a data logger that transmitted back to somewhere. They finally figured out that it was a fuel issue but weren't sure what was causing it so they decided to replace almost everting in the fuel system. The dealer made...

They mention it a couple of times and they have a place to leave some cash at the end of the last day.

I was there March 20-21 and had a blast. Rained most of the time and my group really got nailed in the autocross. Rained really hard. We then went out for a session on the track and had to slow to cross a river in turn two every lap. But we learned a lot about the various modes as we were...

Welcome! I got my 5BW last July from Lockhart and I haven't seen another in the wild until the other day. I spotted a black 5BW in Plainfield. I live on the west side of Indy.

Thanks!

No, the parts all aren't in yet.

I might have more questions about GM buybacks. I think my car is now loosing a main bearing as the oil temp is starting to look like the tach. Temps are going up significantly under even minor loads and it just started yesterday. Do they cover sales tax or improvements like PPF and a second...

Had one of those as a loaner during one of my many service trips It had the turbo 4 and in crawled! But it did have two features I really liked. The phone charger actually held the phone unlike ours where it just slides over that little lip. Plus it would warn you that you are leaving a phone in...

I feel your pain! I have had mine since the first of last July and after the break-in period, it ran right for about two weeks. Been trying to get it right ever since. GM thinks it know what is wrong and my dealer should have all the parts in this week. Fingers crossed and good luck with yours...

May have multiple sources but it was a line in a Big Bang episode.

Good to know.

Update - GM has analyzed the data I have generated and concluded that it is a fuel starvations issue. They have directed the dealer to replace just about everything from the high-pressure fuel pump forward. GM says they will look at all the parts and try and figure out which was the cause; that...

Latest update - Still no joy! GM decided to install a special data recorder that transmits data back to them. I have a button to push when the car does its thing. It isn't difficult to reproduce but GM didn't want the dealership driving it that hard. While I trust my tech, I understand. So I...

My thinking exactly. The other remedy is a refund but that might not include sale tax and I know it will not include PPF or the all-season wheels and tires I bought for the wet/cold days I still wanted to drive. I am going to see how the data recorder works and give GM another shot or two or...

Don't disagree but not sure that will happen......

A brief update - After 2 months and three pages of replaced parts, it isn't fixed. GM even sent an engineer down to help with the process without success. I had taken the lead tech on a drive to show him what it was doing and he took the engineer out. I now have the car back and the next step...
