Be careful with this. Starting it up backed in will blow a ton of carbon monoxide into your garage before you leave. At least make sure you're leaving right away but I wouldn't even risk that.

Yep good eye! Looks like they’ve already posted it online

Yep, would’ve preferred ICE but it is what it is Ive heard of similar issues over on hummerchat. Mainly with people that are charging on public chargers. Going to try to give myself the best chance of success by charging only at home

I sold it :(. Traded her in for a new hummer suv. Completely different vibe than the blackwing but still appeals to the boy inside me and is badass, just in a different way. The blackwing will always hold a place in my heart.

Love the vent look. At the very least it’s a throwback to the past V’s. If I end up keeping my 5 long term I’d seriously consider getting one and getting it paint matched

They said they brought in a special GM tech from Chicago or something. He's been doing diagnostics on it for the past 2 weeks, the dealership themselves had the car for the 2 weeks prior. It was parts vs motor once the tech had gotten there but beyond that it was their call. I'm just the messenger

Would if I could, GM technician made the call to just replace those parts. I guess if they had found something more significant they would have but still couldn't really find what was causing the problem.

So I'm in a similar situation, just posted in the other thread, where I've taken my car to the dealer probably 4+ times now for an oil burning issue that they can't seem to get resolved. This time it's been in the shop for >30 days. The problem isn't nearly as severe as yours have been but...

My car has currently been in the shop for 30+ days as well due to engine oil problems. They’re replacing the pistons, piston valves, and something else to try and fix it. Also the 4th or so time I’ve taken it to them for this problem. I think I’d qualify for the lemon law deal but I’m on the...

Nope and they know better than to try to link the two. Exhaust sounds great, wish I had the car so I could hear it and not this 4 cylinder loaner I’ve had the past few weeks.

They gotta fix that. Not acceptable in such an expensive luxury vehicle

Going on week 3 at the dealership trying to find out why it’s burning through oil. Yay for me! Engine is apparently out of the car at this point and being taken apart. Good times

Nope

I think it should’ve come stock this way. I drive it in my mode with exhaust maxed 95% of the time and switch to tour so it’s quiet when I pull into the neighborhood. Very different than stock and very loud, lots of pops/burbles. I don’t think I would want it any louder.

My car does this too. I’ve found out that holding onto the shifter seems to dull it. No idea what the connection is as the sound seems to come from the dash somewhere but it’s starting to get on my nerves too
