My 3 came with a factory Alarm and engine immobilize, However, I am making many mods on the car, including installing an LED on the dash and rear dash of the car for an intrusion alarm.

No problem, I have the '07 M3S GT Sedan, 5-speed sport auto trans, fully loaded. I am making many mods to it and will be ready this summer. That will set me back about $15K, but will be fun to do.

Eldaino,
 
 Your right about the weight, and I like your write up a lot. Thanks for sharing. It took me a while to write this to make sure I get my fact and opinions right. I also didn't want to offend anyone.

I am re doing the entire inside and out. I want to make this car like a wanna-b race car. However, I want to install new racing spring, lifts, engine mods about $5K with that, Kick ass killer sound system say, 500 watts or more, DVD, 50 pack CD changer, Chrome accents, etc.
 
THIS WILL BE MY TOY!!!

THANKS. I feel a lot better now making it right again. Some forums are very touchy and some tell you how it is.

So you're adding an after-market alarm on top of the factory alarm? I'll be interested to know what brand you're going with, and how well it works. The way I understand it, most cars nowadays don't take well to an after-market system, even though the factory systems usually are fairly basic and inadequate.

ah ok.
 
PERSONALLY, i would have just gotten a mazdaspeed.
 
simply because it will take less to get it fast. (i.e. chipping the turbo.) But then again it is fun to build a car. And i don't think the mazda speed 3 can handle any more power out of the turbo, i think its psi is out the roof, you'd probably need to de-turbo it, and put a bigger one on.

With the mods that I want to do, it would cost me more with the mazda speed. Another thing, I don't like stick. So I want to add mods to the auto. I might drop a sport 6 speed super fast trans in this baby. I got an estimated to do that already.
