Welcome, as for the brakes they are doing what they are made to do. Don't worry about them. They even do that if you upgrade to a BBK.

Thanks guys appreciate the info and that's a very nice feature to have in a MT car.. As far as why I went 6MT, well I honestly prefer to drive the car not have it drive for me

I suppose I have to take a look at exhaust systems. Lol

I always get a laugh that the Dinan exhaust is one of the cheapest (compared to Akro and BMW Performance).

Before you buy a full exhaust system, make sure you read about OEM Exhaust mod. For $250 - $300, you will get this:

Just search in M3post and you will find a lot of information about it. Some pictures here:

So jealous of your nearby "perfect" road...

Those signs aren't speeds limits, those are curve ratings. Just plan on doubling all those, and once you get used to the car, rating x 2 + 10 (or so).
