    Ready for 1st mods; many questions

    I'm ready to start improving my '09 ms3. It's got a little over 1,000 miles on it, so it's time. The problem is I know so little about these cars. My last 4 have been front-engine RWD GM muscle cars, Firebirds and a GTO. I knew those inside out. Anyway, the questions. First mods I'm used...

    Strut tower brace?

    I got an '09 Speed3 two days ago. I'm trying to figure out why it has no strut tower brace. Seems like it should with all the torque it cranks out.

    MS3 Age & Occupation Thread

    58 Public works supervisor for a city of 145,000. Very pleased to find there are quite a few other old farts here. By the way, I just got my 09 Speed3 2 days ago. For the past 15 years I've been driving (and modding) front-engine, rear-drive V8 Pontiacs. I traded in a 2005 GTO with 383 rwhp...
