    silly question: wiring down payment to dealer for my BW

    There is a BIG scam going on right now where you think you're dealing with the actual salesman but you're not and they end up taking all your credit info AND your deposit and they end up buying a car for themselves at a different dealership (just learned about thus yesterday.) The scammers...

    Brake wear sensor wire connector

    These connectors are the bane of my existence! I've done a lot of brake jobs on my cars and a friend's lately so I'd don't remember this one specifically but I think you depress that little square and pull/push that tab out at the same time for this one. I really wish manufacturers would...

    Quirks of my 5BW

    I love my 5BW but I have to admit, I have an E90 M3 sitting around collecting dust and I've seen some tempting LS conversions...

    Brake experts chime in.

    Oh, I've noticed that as well. My guess is it abates brake squeal but I'm not the expert.

    Brake experts chime in.

    Looks like sensor cutouts to me. I've changed so many brakes in the past 6 months I can't remember if the BW had sensors...

    2022 Cadillac CT5-V Blackwing Collector Series 6-Speed…..BAT

    I suspect the first 250 are more valued to a collector if they weren't driven. I don't think anybody will pay a premium for one with 10s of thousands of miles (like mine).

    Floor jack for ct5v blackwing

    I'm looking at Advantage and their 4-posts (like others) include sliding jack trays so you can lift the car from regular jack points.

    5BW daily driver

    I work from home but I DD the car nonetheless. Have just over 32,000 miles and couldn't be happier. MPG varies as expected with my right foot - no complaints. If I wanted better fuel economy, I'd by an economy car! (Or an EV.)

    Floor jack for ct5v blackwing

    I too use QuickJacks but have to turn them 90 degrees to run side to side which is an approved and safe use. I do think they would interfere with the sides if you're trying to do something like install CF there. Unlike some, I dream/plan for a FOUR post lift (much easier since it doesn't have...

    No Global B flex fuel support !

    Easy is relative of course but if you just want to open your wallet, there are great options:

    Rear license plate

    Given there are no places in the Union where rear plates are optional, I'm not sure why these cars wouldn't come ready to mount a rear plate from the factory. Is this normally a PDI item??

    Last week of CT5 V 2024 production

    New production usually happens after the Summer break (tooling changes take place during that week.) I would expect MY 25 cars to start rolling out the plants until late July if things are typical.

    Keyfob (manual vs auto)

    Yeah, someone got sloppy on the BOM for the assembly line. Just slap a cover on it (with the right button label) and forget it (unless you have too much time on your hands and want to test your dealership experience.)

    CT5-V Driver-side Lumbar/Bolster/Massage adjustment not working

    Just had and resolved the same issue. Started as non-functioning lumbar which I ignores. Weeks later I was getting a warning for a safety assist system. What I didn't realize is the message meant the seat vibration setting I was using wasn't working. Dealership replaced an actuator and all is...

    F1 Rejects Cadillac Bid

    Based on what they charge for tickets for the American events vs overseas average (I only recently learned it can be cheaper to fly out of country to attend than what i paid for an Austin COTA event) , I'm thinking American F1 fans should boycott the upcoming season!

    Steel rotor brake pad replacement

    As someone else referenced, RockAuto is the way to go for brakes and many other things for these cars. I keep a set of Rotors and pads for my cars on the shelf because of RockAuto's pricing.

    2025 5BW updates

    I reserve final judgement until I see it in person but I think i like it overall. I can see me ordering a '25 to replace my '22 since I'm putting over 15k miles/year on the car.

    Sounds like my local track, Pacific Raceways!
