    Anyone else having engine oil issues?

    For going on the past year now I've been getting low engine oil warnings on the car. I've taken it to the dealership, thankfully still under warranty, probably 5 times now for this. The first few times they checked and said there was nothing wrong and just did oil changes on the car. Somewhere...

    Anyone else's 5BW burning through oil?

    Just had to drop my car back off at the dealership after obtaining my second low oil warning this year in spite of a recent oil change. Both times have been less than 2000 miles after an oil change at the dealership. The first time the dealership said they found nothing wrong on their...

    Anyone know the best way to get an OEM Blackwing part?

    I've had a damaged front grill since June. There's been an order out from the Cadillac collision center for a replacement factory grill for going on 4 months now. I know there's gotta be a way to force the issue and speak to someone directly to get a new grill sent out to me because it's holding...

    Custom fabricated exhaust

    Anyone get a custom exhaust? I’ve got some quotes from decent shops for under $2k for a full catback system with aftermarket mufflers. I think keeping the stock tips with the distal valves shouldn’t be a problem. Anyone know if this would throw a CEL? If not I think I’m going to go ahead and get...

    Got a quote for a custom exhaust

    A fairly reputable shop quoted me $4-6k for a high quality custom exhaust. They fabricate a lot of these it looks like. Is this a good deal? With the lack of anything coming out from the brand names I’m thinking about going this route.

    Sad day for me and the blackwing

    So this happened yesterday. Victim of road debris on the highway. Anyone have an idea of how much a repair might cost?

    Any thoughts on a secondary cat delete?

    Had done this on my c63 and it actually sounded great. No CEL or smell, and still passed emissions. Since the valves are such a big obstacle just wondering why no one’s talked about a cat delete much yet.

    Anyone get an SD card error when going over bumps?

    This is for the surround video recorder, wonder if this is normal or something I should get addressed by the dealer under warranty. See thumbnail, happens over most bumpy roads.

    Are we ever going to get an updated UI?

    The barebones blue home software from the 2010's leaves a lot to be desired. Hardware-wise everything is good, including the touch screen and size, just needs a good update.

    So my coworkers z06 was stolen from our work garage

    And now I'm paranoid that it could happen to me any day because we park right by each other. Outside of my manual transmission do we have any good protections against theft? He said that the thieves broke his drivers window and within about a minute disabled his alarm system (2018 so not that...

    When is the next aftermarket exhaust coming out?

    Been a few months since we heard anything from kooks. Someone needs to petition magnaflow, corsa, borla etc

    Ok this requires its own thread - the cabin is TOO QUIET!

    Lord almighty I keep holding out hope that the engine will finally break in and I’ll get to hear the rumble of this thing that makes supercar numbers. Over 1k miles tho and still sounds like a damn tesla inside. My toddlers get better sleep in the blackwing than they do in their cribs at home...

    Rear view mirror camera error

    I’m getting an error where the digital rear view mirror is blue and has a little camera symbol with an exclamation point over it. Flipping to the standard mirror works just fine. Anyone else run into this yet?

    Not too many Electric Blue 5BW’s on here

    Anyone have some good pictures of theirs in the flesh? Looked through most of the album threads on here and it seems to be one of the rarer colors. Trying to do whatever I can to pass the time! (other than count the goats in my head of course)
