Op ... if this isn't a car you plan on modding much... its a great overall car. If you want 300 or over hp is I would like elsewhere. My wife and I have as I said an 09 ms3 and its a lot of fun. The oe tires that come on these cars are HORRIBLE and in the rain you'll be all over the place I immediately went to the conti dws' and while the are an a/s tire... the do better... ride better and I have easily handled 8" of snow with little hassle. The intake is the weakest link and you can pick up 15-20 whp with just that mod... add in cobbs stage 1 tune and its pretty nice.
I will add that I had the k&n on my 10 because it was the one people were having the least amount of cel codes with.
