    Miles Per Gallon road test

    I've seen it written that if you run your car in rain mode then you'll get mediocre performance and reasonable gas mileage

    Blackwings really need a 'Performance Supplement'

    he was running 1:44 which is faster than me by about 12 seconds and just slightly faster than another 4 Blackwing that was running about 1:52. I'm guessing he's a better driver than I. I haven't found many 4BWs that ran Laguna on a track day. I only have 2 20 minute sessions on Laguna Seca...

    m340i to 4 Blackwing...why?

    Agreed, if I had bought an M340i x-drive with non-square 195s (like the M440i that I had) I would probably still be posting on the M-Lite boards. And yes, that Dakota Leather is definitely not worth the the extra charge

    m340i to 4 Blackwing...why?

    I finally read your blog post and have to agree. I had a 23 M440i X-drive convertible, but it just wasn't doing it for me, having to drop another couple grand to get wheels and tires fit for the track, the suspension never seemed to be the right ride and the parking brake right next to the roof...

    Cadillac V-Club

    I'm hoping the Cadillac will be my last purchase, getting to the age where I shouldn't wear out another car since I work from home, so not going to worry about losing the BMW discount (my old employer had a $1.5k discount for BMWs and $1k discount for Minis). I'll keep the BMW CCA membership...

    Blackwings really need a 'Performance Supplement'

    Saw a video of a guy at Laguna Seca with an Integra Type S that had a tire fold over on itself. Gotta wonder if it started out under pressure and mediocre driving teamed with track curbing might have been contributing factors

    Cadillac V-Club

    Thanks for the info. I'm south of one region, north of the other, so i'm going to join for the next year to see what I end up with. I don't think i'll be going back to BMW soon enough to get my discount, although I might renew in at the end of my two years just in case. I'm pretty happy with...

    Cadillac V-Club

    Is anyone here a member? Is it worth the $100 or so a year? I was a BMW CCA member and all I got was constant spam to buy raffle tickets. No invites to anything out of the ordinary aside from car control clinics that aren't discounted

    CT5-V My CT5-V Blackwing

    I like that with the Blackwing (CT4 in my case), I can drive in tour mode with a nice compliant but sporty suspension and get more serious incrementally from there. I prefer it over my brother's 330 ZHP package. Too stiff, always felt harsh. My Z4 (2nd gen) seemed to be a better handling car...

    iPhone charging woes

    my wife decided to experiment with my phone and oriented it so that the top was pointing to the right instead of the way that I usually do it pointing to the left. That seemed to yield much better results. Still doesn't charge very fast though

    iPhone charging woes

    13 Pro Max owner here. I was noticing last week that i was having charging issues until I centered my phone on the charging mat and it suddenly pinged and started charging

    I have to read the owner's manual

    Used to drive me nuts when people would refer to my BMW motorcycles as the Cadillac of motorcycles

    Pics of your Blackwing in regular parking spots

    It was definitely meant as a joke. I came from several BMWs and have seen the light. Love my Blackwing

    V-Series 20th Anniversary Merch

    I used to hand out swag as a Subaru Ambassador. We had a couple umbrellas, including a golf umbrella that were pretty high quality. I gave those away for free...

    Pics of your Blackwing in regular parking spots

    A bit dusty due to windy conditions in agricultural area and a heavy mist, but parking next to my son's Miata

    Dealer damaged my roof lining?!?

    I still wear a mask. My wife is immuno compromised and I'd prefer not to bring anything home. should have heard the person behind me in the grocery hacking up a lung.
