Official Introduction.

Hey guys,

So as some of you may know, I just purchased a 2009 MS3 Mica Black and is due for delivery in two weeks.:bana2

As this is my first brand new car, how do I break it in? Some says, just go for it, there's no really breaking in, I just want this car to last and take care of it.

I shifted from a 2004 Honda Civic Si to this one, it's a big leap for me too.

Here is my current car, which is on the verge of stripping and going back to stock look. Some of you might even recognize it or seen it in the GTA.

Welcome to TM3 and congrats on your new car.........as for breaking it in...just drive it

Only advice I was given (and took) was to not use the cruise controls so that the speeds vary. Apparently it helps the seals... I'm not a mechanic, so I didn't question it.

For the first 1000 Kilometers.

I've used this method on my last 2 cars and my bike.
