The new owner picked up his beautiful, perfect, low mileage 535 today.

That was an awesome car...

Bittersweet.

Bought a new Cadillac cts-v 6mt.

I'll probably drive it for a year or two and get a new m5.


It's not half the car of the BMW, but it is wickedly fast.

It's fun... The torque is otherworldly. I've debadged it and gotten rid of the chrome, with the exception of the front grills which I'm working on.

I'm in the process of searching for wheels. It desperately needs wider rear tires, so I'm trying to find out if the rear will accept 20x12s. I may end up with matte black forgestars if they'll fit.

The fastest car I've ever been in by quite a bit. Not BMW quality, but not a typical merkan car...

Can you post some pics? I actually like the CTS-V quite a bit (even a little disappointed that you say its "not BMW quality" )

Change is always good, so congrats on the sale and best of luck to you!

Dont get me wrong, I really like the Caddy as well... But there are some things about the fit and finish that arent as nice as a new BMW.

Regarding pics, I havent uploaded any "good" pics of it since i blacked out the trim, but here is one from when i first got it and a couple crappy cell phone pics with the black trim and in dire need of a bath... I ordered new side vents and the piece that goes around the fogs and on the back of the trunk to have painted body color. right now the vents and the trunk trim are matte black.

Now I've GOT to resolve the wheels, but there just arent many people that make good looking wheels for the car. Although I did talk to forgestar today and they can accommodate me, so some matte black 20" F14s may be in my very near future.
