Hey All,

I just bought an 06' M3 GT, GFX. Has anybody had any problems with this vehicle thus far? Are there any mods taht I need to improve any flaws?

Cheers,

1. Typically people ask what the "flaws" or problems are prior to buying the car. Not after. This question sort of threw me a bit.
2. Congrats on the new purchase and welcome to the club.
3. If you're talking about about modifications to improve performance there is Cold Air Intakes, new exhausts, rear sway bar, springs, new tires considering the stock tires that come with the car are not the greatest. Do a search and you will find plenty of information.

the key to surviving this forum is to never abreviate or use the short form of anything, because people will pick at you and your ability, or lack thereof to properly type! :chuckle

welcome, and I love my 3, no big problems yet, just about 700 chips in my windshield, but that is the 401's fault, not Mazda :)

Mom told me to be nice. I'd thought I'd try it to see what it felt like.

I've been looking for a car for over two months. I would have asked about the vehicle B4 (before) but I haven't heard any bad reviews from anybody I know as of yet, Mazda was not even on my radar, test drove one last week, loved it, bought one this week.

It has a dealer installed Injen Cold Air Intake, and updated brakes. Thats all for now.

Welcome, and did the dealer give you a warranty on the CAI since they installed it?

I didn't inquire whether the CAI was included in the bumper to bumper warranty, I guess I should contact them b4 i pick up the car. Thanks.

1)Passenger Bolt Came Lose
2)Windows started to make noises after one winter (and I used them like 3 times for McDs drive through, windows were free of ice)
3) Trunk lock flap came loose
4) Im getting a shit load of window stone chips, im at 4 and counting. I only fixed one
