    For anyone using wheel spacers...

    Another question: for OE wheels do the spacers need the raised bore rim, or can they be completely flat? I'm thinking 6mm spacers...

    Seat Belt Chime Disable

    easiest way is to buy what is sold as seatbelt extenders, which are just buckles with no belt. Leave them plugged in and no chime ever.

    Absolute Dearth of All-Season Tires for CT5-V Blackwing

    My point, despite the snide comments, is that here in Southern Texas, truly cold is rare, and a matter of days per year. I don't find it useful to put on tires that are mainly for snow AND cold, in sizes that are not optimal, for those few days. Despite the superior attitudes by the usual kind...

    Absolute Dearth of All-Season Tires for CT5-V Blackwing

    Have driven plenty of them at 20degrees with a lot of extra care. In the case of the 5BW there appears to be no viable alternative. Awareness of traction issues is certainly needed. I'm referring to the warning that those tires could actually crack or blowout in the cold, which seems entirely a...

    Fuel pump cutoff switch

    Anyone wire a toggle into the pump circuit? location for wiring would be helpful. This old hack saved my BMW from going missing 50 years ago.

    CT4-V Disappointed after lengthy Test drive

    To compare either BW to light and even 2door cars is truly impossible. Indeed, my 5 is a whole different beast from my 4, but neither are my 911 or 356 or 2002tii. Never expected them to be. However, if your 4 is out of warranty plenty more power is certainly available in the aftermarket. So...

    Michelin PS4S issue

    Had an alignment check done on 5BW with 4700 miles and revealed significant anomalies in the settings. See the attachment which describes just the front. I'm not happy this wasn't caught and I do believe similar was and is responsible for my tire problems. I also learned that GM will pay for...

    *Help* Looking for a no BS dealer

    I have bought 2 BW from Sewell, formerly known as Ken Batchelor but owned in the Sewell orbit for years. They have been totally honest, solved all issues, delivered what they said and are price honest. If you want the name of my salesman DM and I will send it along. Top notch, knows the cars...

    Conti Extreme Contact dws06 plus vs. Michelin Pilot Sport all season 4 ?

    I put the Conti's on my 4BW. Never a fan of Michelin since they stiffed me on a thrown belt years ago, which damaged my Ferrari. Anyway, the Conti's are somewhat quieter and I can't reach the max performance of either them or the Michelins. Always have been a Conti fan, and disappointed they...

    Michelin PS4S issue

    True, but I think in combination with the camber at the high end of the correct range, we may see a cause. I've asked the Service Manager and my salesman to move this epidemic up the line with Cadillac and tire folks. Sent them a link to this thread. The tire folks should know if there are other...

    Michelin PS4S issue

    It would seem the issue may be a combination of excess toe AND excess negative camber. Those 2 together might encourage that inner tire wear. I I think the toe should be around .1 and the camber 1.00 for lower end of the range...

    Michelin PS4S issue

    I had the exact same wear on my CTV with 12,000 miles. Other work that took precedence at the dealer (oil pan replacement) so they did not check alignment until after that work, which did affect the alignment anyway. So no evidence to support a cause. I had thought we had an alignment issue on...

    5BW rear deck speaker upgrades?

    Looked at the current OE speakers, and they are pretty lame. Seems like they'd have to come out from inside the car, and there's probably not a lot of room to work...any thoughts on that from anyone??
