I recently purchased a 2011 6spd MT V-coupe BDE/ebony-saffron Recaros/ slick roof/ yellow calipers/graphite wheels
I'm curious what the significance (if any) there to the Saffron seats and also the brakes and caliper colors.
I have the window sticker and it appears that the only option on the car is the Black Diamond Edition package.
the BDE pkg specifically includes:
I picked up from eBay, a 2011 CTS (all models) sales brochure and it doesn't mention the BDE pkg so I'm guessing it's an 'early' brochure and the BDE was later added?
What I'm wondering is what anyone can tell me about the BDE package; whether it was offered for a limited time, or maybe for years? Was BDE offered on sedans and Wagons? Which cars got the Saffron? Does the lack of sunroof have anything to do with the BDE package or other options? My car is equipped with the yellow calipers and 14.4" rotors. Did ALL Vs have the same size rotors regardless of caliper paint? Was the sapele wood trim available separately from the pkg?
Just trying to get familiar
