    Hello, finally bought a M3

    Yea I understand you guys on the M3... I was actually looking at buying a BMW M3 as a replacement to my CSVT, but to rich for my blood. In anycase... MZ3 it is. I'll get up some pictures of my rides (and my wife's) sometime tonight.

    Hello, finally bought a M3

    Well I just realized I was posting in the MS3 forums instead of the M3 forums... Anyway, hello! I came on here a while back and asked some questions on the M3 i-touring cars and my wife finally ended up purchasing one. So as of a few weeks ago my wife picked up a 09 M3 i-touring value...

    Looking at 06 Mazda3i Touring

    Well I thought I would revive this thread just to say... we finally bought one. As of a couple of weeks ago my wife bought a 09 Mazda3 i-touring value 4-door and got a heck of a deal on it. She is absolutely loving it. However I'm tasked with a few things (which I have already posted on)...

    Mazda service... worth it??

    OK so almost exactly a year ago I came on these forums looking for advice on a new Mazda3. As of 11/25 my wife bought a new 09 Mazda3 i-touring value 4-door :cool: So here is my question I've always taken care of my own cars and performed the routine maintenance myself. The Mazda dealer is...

    Looking at 06 Mazda3i Touring

    Yea pretty much decided that already. The thing was she didn't want to spend more then 12k if she didn't have too. However with what she wants (moon roof, fog lights, spoiler) I don't think she will be able to pick one up for that. I mean I can install the spoiler and fog lights for a lot...

    Looking at 06 Mazda3i Touring

    I should add more to this post. The reason why I started it, and hence the title, we looked at a 2006 M3i touring today and everything looked good. However the car carries a salvaged title. It only has 8,780 miles on it and the asking price is $11,995. With a new 08 priced at $19,575 we were...

    Looking at 06 Mazda3i Touring

    I can't think of any automotive applications of steer by wire yet, but it is coming. There currently is construction equipment out there that use steer by wire. Well plus I'm working on a project for my company where we are developing it for one of our new machines, which is why I know it's...

    Looking at 06 Mazda3i Touring

    Well I'm glad I go to forums to find the real truth. I was going to be quite impressed if they had a steer by wire system on these cars at the prices they are offering them at. Steer by wire is a very tricky thing to nail down. Trying to match the frictional feedback in the steering wheel is...

    Looking at 06 Mazda3i Touring

    Well I'm new to Mazda3's and my wife and I just started looking at them because she really wanted one. So I'm posting this to gather some information before we buy. First of all are there any know failures or issues with these cars that people need to watch for? For example I own an 98 SVT...
