Cadillac makes an excellent product in the Blackwing series. If a few parts sneak in from the GM parts bin, so be it. BMW makes an excellent product as well. They each excel in different ways.

Steve, I don’t know about you but BMW NA really takes care of me. I still receive my 10% off MSRP on any new BMW besides the two new CS models and Alpinas while others grossly overpay their local Ford and Kia dealers. They service my heavily modified BMWs without any further questions. Try to do that with your local Cadillac dealer. I also get regularly invited to the BMW events on my local Palm Beach International Raceway, obviously for free. Nope, I really can’t complain about BMW NA - top customer care.
I do agree that the Blackwings are great cars. Too bad they decided to make only a tiny number of those and they are all sold out. Cadillac’s motto: watch the Blackwings, and now go buy the boring XT5 crossovers.
