I mangled the trunk liner a bit to remove the plastic top and install the eyelet ones. But it’s really tight. I got a 2nd BW and I think I’m just going to do the clamps in the hood instead.

Here is the summary section. Article pretty much says old m5 has faster throttle response but besides that caddy takes it all.

I was doing my final wash and wax before putting the lady to slumber for the winter when I reached on the lower portion of the door to feel something off with the paint. Doh - I see I have a 1.5 mm diameter paint chip. I have electric blue but am having a hard time finding the touch up paint...

I’m at 1600 mile and weather started getting cold. Suddenly my hvac started making a ticking noise. Turned off car and turned it back on and it went away. Then came back later. So we shall see.

Why not a full tank of gas? Why does everyone say 3/4 tank?

I haven’t really stored a car over winter. Is there certain things that needs to be specific for the BW? Couple things I’m thinking 1. Oil change 2. Top off fuel with stabilizer. I always wondered if it is better to fill car up with ethanol free gas since it’s the ethanol in the gas that...

Just did my 5BW diff flush. Got the fluid from my local dealer which services approx 1 5BW per month so they gave me the fluid that match the picture listed on this thread. Stuff isn’t cheap! I got my car jacked up using quickjack. Took a while to figure it out. I have a 6000 series that...

Upper levels of M cars remove liners and such to save weight. Adding one would make your car less cool. 😎

I had papers in my hand for a m2cs but side said no. Regret it!

I put the plate as high as I can and the sensors are now ok with them. If you use any hole in the middle of plate, it won’t work.

Was getting my wife’s X5 car in for service and saw my first m2 in person. This is the car I had a deposit in before the caddy. I cancelled it after pics dropped showing awful design. My 2 cents seeing it in person. Front is not too bad. It looks ok. Side looks sexy. Back looks like it...

A nice set of snow tires does wonders in winter. I think the worst time to drive is actually early spring when all the ice and snow melts away and fills in those dang huge pot holes and u can’t see them in water.

Anyone know if there is a crush washer on the diff bolts that I have to replace?

It’s funny that bmws and all other cars are moving to oil changes in the 10-15k mile range while the BW group goes back to the 3k range using synthetic!

For CT5 BW owners what is the avg milage for oil change? I’m at 60 percent oil life and I have only 1250 miles. I’m going this Friday to get initial oil done. But at current ratio of miles to oil life, I’m assuming 3000 miles equals an oil change? Can any BW high milage peeps chime in?

Make sure you PPF the rear door and quarterpanels pretty high up. I originally did it up to the door crease on the bottom 3rd and it wasn’t high enough. Just had to do a hack job to get it up higher until I can get back into shop. Rock chips up to half of rear door at minimum.

What is the stop speed for 3rd gear in CT5 BW? I know I hit around 128-129 in the auto on the long straight away on east track. Can 3rd gear go that high?

My first trip was in A10, and it was my first time in track with any car. The amt of info you have to suck in is a lot and having a10 was a blessing. I’m going back in Nov and got a manual this time but having the auto initially helped me a lot.

At SM, instructors said that anything lower than PTM sport will pull throttle during hard acceleration and if u lose traction during turns. So u can put engine to low setting but ptm to sport or track 1 or track 2 and it won’t cut throttle.

I don’t think anything happens in manual. I asked the spring mt guys and I know they don’t know all but they also said nothing happens with that with a manual.
