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!!!

We all need brushing up every once in awhile! Your cool dude, no worries.

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.
