There are no issues with the lf4 engine. Keep your oil in good shape (there are numerous ways not to) and they are ery reliable. I have read a few spun bearings on a stock car over the 8 years I have been with this engine but literally less than a hadfull. It is not clear how truthful the...

^I've done the same. Needs lots of heat before tugging to soften up these clips.

The BMW M440i xDrive has the same straight line acceleration as the ct4bw.

I have filed a diminished value claim against the other driver's insurance (which was also my own insurance company). State Farm fought like hell not to pay diddly squat. First they offered a few hundred dollars, I hired an independent assessor and presented them with a formal report. They...

Why would you want this? What is the point in this feature? How many times is it going to operate before it stops.

No. There is no cylinder deactivation.

A REAL LOW IQ POSTER. TOTALLY INCOMPETENT!!

I wish my car had a sunroof. I drive with windows open into upper 80s and down into 40s. At 5'8", head clearance is not an issue and the weight savings are meaningless.

5mm is too much. I had that on my atsv and it resulted in half the thread engagement on the studs. I would not recommend it. Discount tire would not put these wheels back on with these spacers on if they ever take them off.

Main reason I didnt stretch for a 5bw and settled for a 4.

I dont think you are coming back to fwd after the ct4bw.

Its just a dent. A skilled paint-less dent repair place should either completely eliminate it or nearly completely. These guys do what looks like magic to the common man. I know its aluminum, but they should be able to handle it. Consider that before you spend $2k or whatever it is to replace.

The noise that the CT5BW makes with an aftermarket exhaust (maybe even stock). I love it. The only thing of value to me that I am missing out with my 4BW.

30-40 something car enthusiasts is more like it. Honestly the only thing that really draws me to the 5 is the noise. I dont like big cars and that engine issue on the 5 just not worth the price for that risk. A tuned 4 is plenty go for me and the handing is magical. It is more nimble than the 5...

Ct5bw are in a different world when it comes to depreciation, compared to the ct4bw. The ct5bw depreciation is low. That alone could be a good enough reason for someone who is interested to stretch from the 4 to a 5. You know that you would loose less % wise with a 5 when its time to sell.

They do depreciate heavily. The reason you see low mileage cars for sale is because cars like this are more of an impulse buy for the demographic that buys them. Similar to any performance car like this. People get into them and when the dopamine hit wears off, they realize they would rather...

Remove the few fasteners and pull back carefully. They are all held by clips. It takes some tugging to get them to let go. Unplug the battery and the front retractors exploding are not a concern. Yes there are some very small explosives for activation. Rears are dummies. Just a ratchet. Thats...

For these struggling with this, if you buy a $10 obd dongle, you can use the torque app to see if your sensors are ready and not waste time driving to the test center to find out they are not. I think even the free version of the app has that capability. If not, the full version is like $5

What I have seen regarding these cars is that the dealers price them just slightly under the normal car price and then wait for a sucker that doesn't understand what they are getting. And they seem to always find one.

Ohh....so much for that. I bought the ct5bw belt for my cr4bw because they discontinued the red ct4bw center last year since they were done building special edditions (excent for the new blue accents one). There goes the red ct5 I guess.
