    The Blackwing Spotting Thread

    Saw a white 5BW on I95 North near Bridgeport CT this morning with the plate LASTGAS. Unfortunately I was in my boring daily GTI so we couldn't go for a short BW cruise. First one I've seen in person where the driver actually knew how to drive it, it was cool seeing that thing pull away and...

    Back into the Rodeo

    Can't wait to see the reception you get on reddit when you get the BW again lmao

    North NJ body shop

    Well, I guess no car can stay perfect forever. I completely zoned out while parked in a parking garage while I was typing my destination into Google Maps. Turns out the spot I was in was sliiiiiiightly slanted backwards and I rolled back incredibly slowly and tapped the concrete wall behind me...

    CLA 45 AMG v. CT4 V Blackwing

    Yup. Mercedes can't build a $95k car with a solid interior. It was embarrassing at times.

    CLA 45 AMG v. CT4 V Blackwing

    Mercedes have some awful build quality right now. As mentioned above I had a 2020 C63S coupe and a 1995 M3 at the same time. The interior of that generation of 3 series is known for basically disintegrating over time. Which car do you think rattled and buzzed less on the interior?

    CLA 45 AMG v. CT4 V Blackwing

    I sold my C63S to buy my Blackwing. Almost all of OP's complaints about their CLA 45 can also be made about the C63S. Bad interior quality, harsh suspension, transmission wasn't great, turbo lag with the engine, pretty numb steering. The V8 sounded pretty good, but the rest of the car left a lot...

    Burnt Bronze Rims -- What's everyones thoughts?

    Bronze with blue, red, and the new green look great. Much better than black in my opinion. Black wheels are getting a little stale.

    I'm starting to think Don's a little too sensitive for this board.

    Advice for A Daily

    This is exactly what I was going to suggest too. Save some money and get a Golf R. I daily a GTI and the hatchback is just so practical, especially if you have to fit it into a tight parking spot on the street. Too bad VW screwed up the interior of the new generation with all the touchscreen BS...

    The Blackwing Spotting Thread

    Saw my first 4BW on Route 3 westbound in NJ last week. Don't remember what color it was though.

    Anyone have a 5V Blackwing I can test drive??

    If you're coming all the way down to Brogan you might as well test drive mine. I'm about 15 minutes from them.

    2025 5BW updates

    I like the old front end better. I liked how the vertical running lights were broken up a bit, it gave the illusion the lights kind of dipped back behind the bumper and then came back out. There was a sense of depth to it. Also, not a fan of those black plastic strips that curve down from the...

    86-282 '24 ct5vblackwing claimed

    Not shocked that Delaware Cadillac was still trying to squeeze a markup out of these cars. I remember when they posted in the MSRP thread claiming they were an MSRP dealer when all their 5BW's had a $25k markup on them.

    Exhaust tone/Electric?

    In addition to that thread, I believe SavageGeese mentioned there is piped in engine noise in one of their reviews of the car. And those guys always get into the weeds with the details and engineering behind the cars they have. If there wasn't any engine noise coming through the speakers I...

    Anyone rolling a Black Diamond Tricoat Blackwing yet?

    Adds about $8k to the price of the car, which people might not realize or have right away when they buy the car. But even then it's no guarantee, I had a few rock chips go through PPF on my hood and leave deep gashes in the paint.

    Spring Mountain info on upcoming dates?

    I don't believe you get any sort of invite, you have to call and book your class over the phone.

    Anyone rolling a Black Diamond Tricoat Blackwing yet?

    I'm really torn on this color. It looks great in these photos, but some photos I see of it out in the sunlight make it just look way too sparkly.

    Anyone rolling a Black Diamond Tricoat Blackwing yet?

    After owning a matte C63 I'd never own another one. Those paints aren't worth the aggravation.

    Front plate

    This is what I'd recommend as well. I had a slybracket on my old C63 and it worked great with the lower mesh grille.
