4.70 a gallon for premium? Is that normal in your area?
Suburbs of chicago...****ing sucks!
4.70 a gallon kinda sucks no matter what vehicle you're driving.
I lived in the UK for the past couple years. Ill take that price any day over $9 a gallon
LOL, I'm sure you would.
How bad was that install? How long did it take?
wouldn't mind paying the gas prices, if I knew that it was actually a legit price and not gouging!
I wouldn't call the speed 3 a waste of gas. there are a lot more of us out there now running big turbos and E85. Like any car just need to run into the right one
i have had a 09 MS3 as a DD for the last year or so with full boltons, they are surprisingly fast little cars
I had an 08 MS3 up until 2 months ago. 263hp from the factory which I thought was decent. Fun car and got 23mpg city.

no doubt. are you tuned? throw some corn in it and you can hang with stock 5.0s
I had a fully bolted 07 Speed 3 as well and If I didn't know what the new 5.0 ran I would of swore the speed was quicker especially from a roll going by sotp.
I miss my speed 3 but don't miss the gearing and wheel hop/traction issues.
i did it over a couple days. disassembly one night, grinding the next evening and had the car ready to start saturday evening. The instructions were really good and fairly easy to follow.
I remember reading that they arent reliably at all even at stock. Engines blowing up!
However, I have seen some that run pretty damn fast! I always wondered how my 335i fared against one stock for stock.
Good kill O.P, i wonder if you were stock, how close would the race be

The first gens had issues with the motor motor mounts. A few people had their mounts fail and dropped the engine.

Looks like Mazda was going cheap on the car. But I read it was the rods, that they were soo crappy, maybe it was both? :shrug:
Ivr heard of folks bending rods during all types if driving conditions. Zoom Zoom BOOM!
