    Premature Clutch Failure in 2010 6 spd Man

    Take a leap of faith and order a aftermarket 04-09 MZ3 flywheel and clutch :) The clutch disk, release fork, and pilot bearing share the same part number as the gen1. The flywheel and pressure plate/clutch cover are the only parts that have a p# unique to the 2010+ 6spd. It might be worth...

    FYI: Spark plug gap and fuel consumption.

    Good info... I may have to go out and check the gap on my 2010 MZ3 2.5L

    HAWK HP+ 2007 MS3 Clips?

    I'm wondering the same thing I just bought the HPS pads part#hb549f.702... and no outer pad clip?!?!? I know the EBC and AutoEXE pads have the clip. And the picture of the HPS's I found on street unit showed the clip... so what gives!

    Problem with Hawk HPS front pads

    I just got the HB549F.702's a few days ago and they DO NOT have the retention clip on the outer pad for some reason! I'm wondering if Hawk had a batch of these that where shipped without installing outer clips?!?!?

    What kind of motor oil do you use?

    The reason I went with the 5w30 is a little added wear protection/ peace of mind (whether necessary or not). Living in Colorado I get a lot of uphill-downhill traveling, also get into the mountains quite a bit during the summer and I have to admit... I drive the car pretty hard at times. I...

    I LOVE MY NEW 3 but the center console keeps swallowing things....

    Mine feels pretty solid and doesn't rally have any gaps that stuff could fall down... the cup holder is a different story the bottom side is open to the inside of the console but its for cups not chapstick ;) The cup holder and shifter panel just lift out. Remove the cup holder first then...
