IDC either. I also get the "uncanny valley" feeling from pictures of him. LOL.

I think all it shows is that he’s not picky about cars. Which I have to admit is a good quality. But I think I would go with a bulletproof Bentley and a ex Navy Seal driver.

Not necessary. Zuck is very well-known for spending immense amounts of money on security.

I remember back around 2014 he was known for knocking about in a manual Golf GTI, so I'm guessing he values driving stick and being 'somewhat' under the radar in his daily. I would not be surprised if it's in a plain color without the CF. Debadge the "Blackwing" (or don't put it on) and like mine, most people in the SF Bay Area will completely ignore it and figure it's an Uber.

Ouch. I could be an Uber driver, I guess!!I remember back around 2014 he was known for knocking about in a manual Golf GTI, so I'm guessing he values driving stick and being 'somewhat' under the radar in his daily. I would not be surprised if it's in a plain color without the CF. Debadge the "Blackwing" (or don't put it on) and like mine, most people in the SF Bay Area will completely ignore it and figure it's an Uber.
I have a Black Raven 5BW, debadged, no carbon (except the CCBs). Happy to be completely ignored (except for the few that know).

- 2024 CT4 V Blackwing
Every time an E46 ZHP Sedan comes up on BaT I have to resist bidding.

I have to say our ZHP continues to be a joy to drive every time I get in it. Sure its not as fast or as capable as the 4 BW but in many ways its still more fun and engaging to drive. I've long described it as the perfect car (that doesn't mean best) - its so balanced toss-able and plenty quick enough.
The cabin is simple and straightforward, the steering and visibility are great, the brakes are good (certainly for the time....though not up to todays standards....but they really don't need to be) and I really enjoy the shifter - among the best I've ever felt in a BMW (though again not in the same league as the BW or as good as the aftermarket unit I have in my GTI). Traction control can be compleatly turned off. And it looks good too (better then about any BMW since...though i do like the 1 M and the prior gen 2 serious as well as the Z convertables). I hope to have it for a very long time.

Looks like the guys who really track the car are going to appreciate the track package. Pricey, yes, but the benefits for good drivers are apparent. I'm still not a fan of the screen, but it is great the way the infotainment area curves to face the driver. Much better in that regard. Graphics look outstanding too.
Damn it seems like the precision pack is the one to get.

2025 buyers should pony up for the track package, manual tranny, and hope it is the last year of production. I believe it will continue for at least 2026, but if this is one year and done... and most won't want to pay for the upgrade... it will be a unicorn in short order.
Yeah when they announce the last year I will jump back into the rodeo again (I cannot believe I am saying this.)

If I were to do it again with carbon and track package, brings it to around $128k. Would cost me $68k to sell my 2023 and move up. That’s literally a new CT4 BW which probably is better for track duty anyhow. LOL

Still not my style, but no doubt the graphics are sharp and there is more customization available. GM did a solid job. Although I do prefer the driver's display gauges, especially the track mode.
Congratulations Eric! At the end of the day, these Blackwings are all about driving sensations. Old schoolers like me had 3 years of cars to choose from, and now people who want that newer tech and front end have at least 2025 and probably longer to get what they want. Nice to have options.

100%
BMW fans have been lamenting for ages about how they abandoned controls that curve in to face the driver since the e90
Cadillac just need to pinch 'ultimate driving machine' tagline now because it's clear who's really focused on that these days
