I have logged 3000 miles on my M3 2.5 S-GT hatchback with only the Bose/Moonroof upgrade . I sold my old 2008 of the same ilk and have been very pleased with this new ride . I was admittedly worried but alas my confidence has been renewed. The 0% apr for 5 yrs here in Calif kicked me off the fence and then having , Bluetooth, Power seat and a better Audio system that the previous Bose is all good , but the REAL diffrence comes in the much better low end torque from starts and 10,20 and 30 mph launches . I dont need to redline it to get it up to speed and I have specific routes I drive daily that reveal to me the BIG change in power and in the quiteness of this slipstream beauty . I like having a car that silently moves forward , effortlessly overtaking other jugheads in priuses and other cars that think theyhave the world the bollox because theyhave an electric/gas system -- well the will think twice before challenging a 2010 M3 again as I never have had to peg the sucker to get it where I need it and the manuvering is only to outdone by pure race machines at a cost of awful uncomfortability- not here and thats the most amazing part -its comfortable and handles like nobodys Biz it needs nothing...but a temp gauge...not because Im worried about overheating ..but I like to know when shes up to temp for 100 power application should I need it. The techs say 45 seconds and its lubed and ready ...but certainly not for redline running --at least 10-15 minutes --It would be nice if they added that color backed rpm meter thats on the RX-8 and the M5 that dropps off lights as the engine heats up ---very slick --I would install it if it was an option . andbody else having a great experience witha stock 2.5 out there ???- Also got lucky and purchased one of the LAST hatchbacks that have the dedicated 4"x6" radiator inside the drivers side pontoon for the transmission---Mazda USA dropped it and blocked out that pontoon on all units delivered from the factory after Jan 2010- pity - they eliminated the turn signal lights just a few months before also--pity I didnt get those but I got the trans cooler radiator --anything related to the engine and longevity -I WANT ! what say you chaps?
