I can understand SOME but it seems a bit excessive to me.


...also...when/if I hit any minor bumps/holes/etc the front suspension really makes a pop sound like struts are loose or bad.

Why are you accelerating so hard while turning?! Slow down and stop abusing your car (unless you are talking about an autocross) :lol: Yes, it is common for the 3.

Check your engine mounts . the cabin noise was terrible when mine were on there way out.

yes, somewhat normal (particularly in the wet), but i don't know what that "loud pop" could be...any mods? check the mounts like they mentioned. endlink bolts, strut mount bolts....
stiffer mounts and/or an ETD (Engine Torque Dampener) will help with that (wheel hop) if you're looking for a fix. somebody is working on traction bars for the MS3 so maybe those are gonna be available for the regular 3 as well (i had heard some mention of it in an unrelated topic).
