    We Received our first 2024 CT5-V Blackwing 20th Anniversary Edition |

    I do not agree. Perhaps GM should focus getting their basic paint process right, aligning body panels properly, etc. We've all seen the threads (and seen the issues firsthand on some of our cars). Learn to walk before they try to run. I shudder to think what a GM custom program would spit out.

    Used Value Trend

    The bike is great as it is. Get the exhaust if you want to, but it's surely not needed.

    CT4-V Blackwing...kind of slow

    "Panic" isn't the right word, exactly. I don't disagree with you, the "death of the manual" will be protracted. However... If/when we are truly in the long "last call" phase the cars will become even more difficult to get without markup, super long waits, or other hassles. Hence my rising...

    Used Value Trend

    OMG, which sounds better??? I'll take the Ducati. 90 degree (I think) V4, one of the world's most perfect engine configurations.

    CT4-V Blackwing...kind of slow

    You're not the only one starting to panic, due to the "death" of the MT. I bought the 5BW, added a Bronco with MT as a daily, got one of my daughters to get a GR 86 with an MT, getting a buddy to get a Dark Horse (he's a Ford guy) with the Tremec, and I'm looking at a GR Corolla to add to the...

    Shipping during factory closings

    What do you mean "continue"? There were times when they didn't ship cars for months at a time even when the plant was open.

    Finally, a good blackwing hat.

    Very strange site. They can't just give a straight answer. They have a sizing chart here, which doesn't show sizing for the stretch fit caps. https://www.neweracap.com/pages/sizing-chart Then you have to go to one of the 39THIRTY caps and click the sizing chart link on that page to translate...

    new CT5vBW from Atlanta

    I also bought from Jim Ellis. Also an uneventful purchase, which was good. Interesting to see Blackwings available on the lots at most dealerships now. Not necessarily the specs I'd want, but they're there.

    new CT5vBW from Atlanta

    Welcome. Also in Atlanta, with a 5BW. If you care to share, where did you purchase? Experience there?

    Kill switch in 2026

    From the article: In my personal experience, this is far from the truth. There's a big difference in what people say when surveyed and who they vote for. I've posted this before, but I just can't stop myself... Scenario: Police department tries to crack down on drunk driving. Sit a block...

    Did my wife break my CT5 Blackwing?

    The answer is "yes". *** *** Perhaps related, I'm divorced. :)

    For those with base seats…

    I cast my vote for the "base seats are preferable" position. I have a 5BW with the base seats (which are actually a decent upgrade on lower CT5 trim levels, from what I understand), and love them. I've also sat in the 4BW upgraded seats and did not like them at all. Way too narrow across the...

    New BW4 Imsa owner from Long Island

    Is it really a money grab in this case, if Anthony got it for 10k under MSRP?

    Your location says Northern Virginia. Why not take the M School at the factory in Greer, SC? Closer than California ... https://bmwperformancecenter.com/locations ...and you can take some motorcycle classes, too! https://bmwperformancecenter.com/motorrad/locations/ FWIW, I think I had...

    Dealers That Are Not Charging Above MSRP

    If you're flying in (to drive the car back) let me know. Could give you a ride to the dealer.

    Dealers That Are Not Charging Above MSRP

    Ha, probably the same one I looked at on Saturday. You're welcome, by the way. :) They offered to let me take it home for the weekend to try it out, but I declined (because I knew I would not end up buying it, so I didn't want to waste their time nor put additional miles on their car)...

    Spring Mountain Impressions

    But don't rent something *too* fun. Instructors mentioned to us that local police are fairly aggressive enforcing speed limits between Parhrump and Las Vegas. They seem to think the kind of people who would drive at Spring Mountain might like to drive fast for some reason.
