And to answer the thread's question, I could bet cash money no M3 owner would switch. Take care gang.
Thanks! I forgot that fourth one didn't I? Couldn't agree more on the NA decision.

Good grief. Wow. "Hey, good news, we survived the crash". "Oh, wait, now we're on fire". I wouldn't be happy about the recall, but better than the alternative.

It gets hot a lot of places. AZ. SoCal. Central Valley in CA. Oz. So pretty bad testing and design on both that and the firestarter foam I'd say.
