I'd be asking GM to replace the car if I we're you...I wouldn't trust that car at all at this point.

I buy black cars so the new front will be neutral to positive for me. On the fence about the big LED dash until I experience it (but happy for the new PDR with track coach.) Precision Pack will be a must. I think I'll wait until I hit 50k miles on my '22 5BW sometime next year and then pull the...

I have an easy remedy. Swing by your BMW dealer in a few months for a test drive of the new 5,400-pound M5. Then hop back in your 5BW and voila!

I wouldn't do it if you're under warranty. The metallurgy in your motor was purpose built and adding something outside of GM's recommendations will have very little if any benefit and if you have an issue down the road, there's a possibility that GM can find this cause (beyond the fact that you...

Exactly! At least this new Panzer doesn't have the giant-sized kidney grills or the wanky split-level headlights of the 7 series spaceship.

Hey, my parents grew up farming meaning driving things like manual trucks and tractors which is to say we never had a manual car in the household in all my years! My wife is the one who taught me to row the gears many years ago!

Just did a search and it looks like (no idea if dealers are playing game with listings) hundreds of Z06s on Autotrader st or maybe below MSRP. Market has really slowed for 6 figure cars these days. If you're canyon carving, there no substitute for light weight 718. Else, get the Z06.

...and it beat the current fastest BMW - the M3 CSL (it's close though.)

There's the excitement of waiting to see if sub-optimizing the airflow the engineers designed might impact your engine cooling or braking on a track! Maybe it will, maybe it won't. Who knows?!?

Oh, so that's where the Freedom Garage giveaway car got that hood. When I first traded in my V3 for the 5 BW, I missed the hood louvers, but I have so say now I find them odd on the BW. But that's just me. You should do whatever makes you happy with YOUR money :)

Waking up in the morning to a Cammisa Hagerty drop is always a great way to start the day.

Kinda like the black and blue interior with a matching blue exterior...but what's the incremental price?? I seem to recall about a $10k bump for stickers in prior special editions. I wonder what bespoke carbon fiber bits, seat stitching and color will cost?

I used to do the same 20 years ago with a Volvo S60R that I ran in d-stock autocross. I pray every day I don't come down with cancer from the exposure!!

Great...I just un-installed MyRadar and GasBuddy. God only knows how many other things are reporting driving data to the insurance industry!!

Just keep in kind that if your tranny fails under warranty period, GM will be able to see those neutral drops. The car is covered for track usage (in stock form) so maybe rev it out there?

Congrats!! Sounds like a very nice build! Post photos when you get it.

I only see the one now:

Not normal in my experience.

Oh...that's mighty unfortunate! (But welcome of course in the absence of A/FWD.)

Do they use salt on the roads for winter in Chicago??
