    Onstar Theft Notifications

    Happened to me twice, once while out at dinner, once while at work. Came back both times immediately, found no damage or issues at all. Checked the phone app and found all was ok. Seems like a glitch to me.

    Aftermarket wheels for CT4V BW?

    I wish! But in all seriousness if this helps others find wheels/tires then I think it's win-win for all. Going to TireRack late August. If any CT5BW owners can make it TireRack would be happy to get them appointments too.

    Aftermarket wheels for CT4V BW?

    Hey guys, if anyone is near South Bend, IN, contact TireRack. I am making an appointment with them in August to have my CT4 BW scanned front/rear so I can find tires and wheels that will fit; hopefully this helps others too. With that said they could use a CT5BW too as they said that need...

    Aftermarket wheels for CT4V BW?

    Hi guys, anyone know of site that have wheel/tire packages for the 4BW? I called TireRack directly and they don't have anything, asked if I could bring my car there so they could measure it up (they've yet to get one in house to measure). I'm trying to think ahead to get a set of wheels/tires...

    CT4V BW ventilated seats question

    Hey Guys, just chiming in. I didn't use my ventilated seats the first few weeks I had the car, but I've tried it out the last few hot days here in Michigan. I've barely felt any cool air from the ventilated seats, even on the highest settings. Wondering what other people' experience has been...

    CT5-V Brake ducts?

    I have a CT4 BW. My brake duct kit was in the trunk under the floor/cover. I asked the dealership about this specifically. Service advisor showed me on the instruction it says "for track use only, and to remove afterwards". Since my car is daily driving I have no installed these. I may...

    CT4-V CT4-V Blackwing Track Edition Wish List

    The horsepower number doesn't mean much to me. I could have fun with much less horsepower; I just like the sound of a V8; that's why I bought my E90 M3 too.

    CT4-V CT4-V Blackwing Track Edition Wish List

    My personal wish list A detuned, non supercharged version of the CT5V BW V8 engine making around 500-520 ish hp. Keep all else the same...THEN I would be fully content. Oh and move the damn electronic parking brake button to the center console near the shifter! Hate it's location to left of...

    What made you choose a Blackwing and what else did you consider?

    Biggest "needs" for me were manual transmission and four doors for the kids. Being in BMW M3's the last 10+ years I naturally looked at the G80 M3. I hate it in pictures, it's grown on me in person. However dealers are quoting very long lead times and the used ones on lots are more than...

    CT4V BW lug nut torque

    I appreciate all the responses. I found "an answer" from the owner's manual but as I mentioned specifically it says "torque capacity" which is not how one would normally reference a torque spec. Ideal torque and max torque are different. I'm a mechanical engineer, so I understand this...

    CT4V BW lug nut torque

    Silly question but I could not find the answer in the owner's manual. When I purchased my car it had silver lug nuts, now the dealer finally got me my black lug nuts to install (will look better with black wheels). I checked the owner's manual and it says "lug nut capacity 140 lb-ft". The...

    Loaded CT4V BW vs somewhat base CT5V BW?

    I’ll chime in as a new CT4 BW owner. Would love to have the CT5V BW for the engine obviously but the price difference for similarly optimized 4 vs 5 BW was about $20k, plus my quote for car insurance was much, much higher for the 5BW. I’d definitely consider insurance costs when factoring in...

    CT4V Blackwing available, Michigan.

    Hi all. My local dealer Cadillac of Plymouth, Michigan has a black/black CT4V Blackwing available for immediate purchase. I just got my Blackwing from them a few weeks ago so they messaged me to see if I know anyone else that would buy a car. I have no personal affiliation with the...

    CT4-V What Don't You Like About Your CT4-V Blackwing

    Thanks for update, good info! I can live with an electronic parking brake but I wish the button was nearest the shifter, not left of the steering wheel. 20+ years of driving manuals have instinctively taught me to "pull up" with my right hand to use the parking brake, not push with my left...

    Short term CT4V BW review + child/baby seats experience

    I'm super interested in the Civic Type R (I'm a big S2000 geek/previous owner), and have heard nothing but good things about them. Just never had the opportunity to sit in or drive one sadly. How's your experience been with the CTR? Do car seats fit in the back seat? Fun to drive at...

    Short term CT4V BW review + child/baby seats experience

    So I'm not 100% sure what to do. Long time BMW M3 fan and owner for last 10+ years. Not a huge fan of new G80 M3 nose... Plus variety is good for car enthusiasts! For now I'm keeping my Blackwing. If I test drive a G80 M3 that would be best thing for me to decide which one to keep/sell.
