    Did you do or are doing V academy

    I got to experience the car on the track in heavy rain. Gotta say, I hated that it rained my second day, but it was great experience

    Car idling slightly rough on cold start

    I noticed slight surging when cold starting my car. This manifests as a slight surging and can be seen in the tach. My ADHD brain always forgets to check it when it's hot, but kinda concerning. Will be checking for stored codes this weekend and likely contacting my dealer very soon. Cheers!

    CT4-V Disappointed after lengthy Test drive

    I had the M440i Xdrive and traded it for the CT4 Blackwing. The BMW had great tech, essentially hands free traffic handling, xdrive, and was willing to run. I hated the start stop, so got used to turning that off. That said, it was just kinda ehhh. The Blackwing in VMode seems pretty ready...

    Paint Protection Film

    $7000 for my M440 for the full car plus ceramic coat, no paint correction, can't remember the brand, but it was "top of the line" that they carried. Silicon Valley shop that did a lot of porkers

    I'm always self conscious about my Pilotis when i'm around car people. I like them because they actually fit my feet well. Oddly enough they are the most comfortable shoes I've found for my weird feet.

    I learned about it on Cadillac's web page, then the dealer mentioned it, but didn't give any real help, so I called SM and started talking to them and got someone to help with the scheduling for me to attend. I always watch for things like this when going for a "high end" product like this
