Just bought a speed3

[mando115]

Hello from Brooklyn.
Just got an 09 Speed3 GT last weekend.

Around what should be the speed of the car at 3000 RPM in 6th gear, assuming a flat highway?

I was driving in Manhattan and ran over a steel plate, and the car jerked over to the right side. I think the tire pressure is a little low because of that. And also I started hearing a loud screeching noise while turning at low speed, but it went away after another day of driving.

Congrats on the purchase and welcome.

6th gear 3k rpm should be just over 70mph I believe

Congratulations on the new car. 3k in 6th is about 75ish for me.
