What tire pressure ARE y\'all running?

Should be 32psi

Just to add...

If you ever forget the correct PSI, just open your driver\'s door. It\'s right there.

First, they forgot to put the key for the wheel locks in the car. I looked everywhere possible and then decided to go back to ask them. The guy that installed the tires went through about 20 keys before he found the right one!

This key u speak of.....was it suppose to be in your car or on the car keys? and how does the key look like? cuz i dunno if they forgot to give me keys to my wheel locks....they gave me an extra set of wheel locks tho in the plastic package....

The "key" for wheel locks is a special socket that allows you to remove them. It's not a key like what would be on your keychain.

The "extra set" are probably the original 4 bolts that were replaced by the wheel locks the "key" is in the package in the middle.. the one that looks like a funny socket.

When I picked up my car:

1) On day 2 I went to use my wipers and my driver side wiper arm (complete arm) flew off on the highway. Glad no one was near me on the highway... All I could do was laugh when I took it back in... It didn\'t have a bolt on it... they fixed it and gave me a new wiper arm setup in like 5 mins when I brought it in to the dealership.

2) Mine was missing the hook for the floor mat too. I didn\'t notice until a few days after when my mat kept sliding up and making it tough to push the brake, gas & clutch in. When I went to Burlington Mazda to ask where my clip was to hold it in place (maybe 4 days after buying the car)... they said I would have to buy another new floor mat set for $100 + or whatever they cost. The buggers. I use velcro to hold it down in place now.

This was back over 2 years ago tho.

I've been driving this car for a year now with no hook for the floor mat either! and I always thought there wasn't supposed to be a hook...

[Tokic_o]

hook? floormats? =S i never knew there was supposed to be a hook for the floormats.....how do i get them =S?....and is it just me or are the floormats that Mazda sells/gives for the 3 really thin...=S

Go back to where you bought your car. They stiffed you out of the clip.

[WLS ZMZM]

yeah those mats really are thin...... and that clip is okay... but doesn't seem to hold the mat very well...... mine is always creeping up on teh left side and i have to keep pulling it down....

I wish there was one on the passenger side. My wifes seems to migrate up the firewall on a regular basis.

Try some Double-sided Velcro strips it works wonders sometimes....just a suggestion!

Good advice in here. I'm making a list for when I pick up my new toy on Saturday

I just recived my m3 on April 28 and everything seems fine except a strange rattle sounds coming from somewhere in the front of the vehicle(dashboard possibly?) when i drive over bumps,potholes, or other uneaven road surfaces. What could it be? should i take it to the dealer ?

If you bought it a month ago brand new then yes take it to the dealer to get it diagnosed and serviced.
