There are both if you look... one is in the mirror, the other is in the reflection of the window.

Does a girl pop out at any time? What option is that?

It's small but I hate it. Purchased the car new 6 weeks ago. Never had a light since day one on my trunk. Thought it was normal. Come to find out the bulb is busted. So much for new car inspection.

My side mirrors do NOT automatically open up once I start driving over 10 mph. Once again, must not be an E90 thing?

That's strange. Seems like a safety feature and should happen on all of em. Does it on my x5 also.

Well maybe it's just an '08 thing then. Perhaps they changed this with the following years.

Further testing is required on my end

DARK_M3 · 11-04-2012, 01:13 AM

Found out that the trade in value of my car (08 E90 32k miles, all packages) from Cadillac (thinking of getting a CTS-V) is between:

$27,280 - $32,970 (they use something called "black book")

KBB puts the trade in value at:

$31,153 - $35,953

What a gyp Caddy! Thanks a lot.

yeah im with you there dark. i took enough of a beating on this car figure i might as well keep it around now and keep modding until its a full stripped race car. i was just looking at cadilac CTS-V wagon. i have a thing for wagons and my wife thinks im crazy. something about showing up to the track in any wagon then smoking people just seems funny to me.

Great thread.

I think it is cool the way the yellow/orange/red line changes on the tach as the engine warms up.
