Max, if u going to get the apartment, that's a wise choice to go for that one first. If u can get both, better still!

Great pix Sanik, background helps made your white metal shines! Seen a lots of white M3 and yet I can't resist to see more of it...

Have u tint ur car, btw?

I just put my deposit for the M3 2.0 (missus's car). I would have gone for the 2.5 M6 anyday..$$$ permiting.

As i understand, the M3 has its own quirks. Would love feedbacks from fellow zoom zoom members on the M3 bad reputation :

1. Bad FC- SE says its about 15c to 1km..but heard from other MAzda forums M3 FC really bad. Anyone can confirm?

2. Toyo tyres are really noisy - should I change it? (thinking of Yoko C Drive/or Mich MX8)

3. Poor service from SC. Unable to solve/diagnose problems. Is this true?

4. Finally the ultimate question- Why so many white M3?  I had no choice but to opt for the graphite mica..as too many white M3 out there.

how is the v-power 97 performance?? i only fill up with esso 97 to collect point

jus got my car tis afternoon..its black m3 ..like it..woohoo

i hope soon will joined you guys might be changing to mazda3 soon! if i can get this body kits in ... here some pic to share with you die heart Mazda fan!
as for i know you can't get the body kits in malaysia so only way is to export not sure whats the damage... 

bro up load some photo not sure what u looking for is it the lips?

just try full tank v-power yesterday.. still monitoring the performance. Engine run smoother with this v power but just same power as esso 97, normally i only use esso because of the point. will check the total mileage can cover by full tank. not really impress with the smoothness i like the growling sound from engine.

mazda3 sport 2.0 can take ron95?

FC during idle and jam is notably high.. the same can say when travel high speed eg: 170km/hr but at 90km/hr the FC very good.
i also notice the RON of fuel doesnt give any significant performance different but shell v-power 97 give a smooth engine sound, using esso gor slightly growling sound when ramming the rpm. below is my FC figure @ 90% hiway:-

esso 97 RM50 = 250km
esso 95 RM50 = 320km FTW
shell v-power97 RM50 = 230km
shell v-power97 full tank = 455km (30% town 70% hiway)
bhp 97 RM50 =  300km

the other brand didnt test yet, i travel mostly on highway. I wondering what is the max speed this M3 can do? i only manage to do 182km/hr seem like no power once reaching 180km/hr.

waah sanik look like u have a same driving pattern with me.. i travel every week to KL from Jb. normally i drive 100k km per year.. hahahaha that mean my 60k will finish less than 1 year.

some shot during high speed testing this morning.. NSE heading south.
5th gear
[attachmentid=1660490]

4th gear
[attachmentid=1660492]

i'm pasir gudang..
normally i spend for petrol around RM50 ~ 80 per trip. depend on the condition of driving, if u drive 170~180km/hr your fuel consumption is around 29L/100km hahaha.. drive 90km/hr we can go up to ipoh!!!

drive at 4th gear very syiokkk.. but actually during i snap the pic the GB suddently drop to 4th gear when i flooring the pedal once reach 180km/hr, engine very responsive but beware of your FC.. if u notice my fuel indicator already blink.

funny thing is i got really scared when i hit 195. even at the smallest bend ahead, i had to release my pedal. really scared.

Going fast above 180km/h mark would not be as scary if we have our own version of autobahn here. You know lah sometimes there are plenty slower cars in the right lane. Even if they are at left lane, they will make a sudden turn to right lane to overtake lorries, without even knowing your M3 is at top speed approaching.

Otherwise, handling and stability at 180km/h is still there for M3.

I also would love to know was Civic any better, consuming fuel when idling. Previous civic owners might have better views.

Sanik, you're from JB rite? Any ways of getting mods and parts from S'pore suppliers?

haha.. its too common, even auntie drive civic 2.0! such a waste! yeah we should start compiling the list of owner now because i also wondering how big is the M3 community in lyn. i think the next service should be at 10,000km.

Did u service in johor 3S?? near permas rite? mine service in trengganu due on 11200km.

By only have a single look on a civic dashboard and instrument panel, I know it was destined for ordinary use. A car that bring u to point B from point A.

M3's instrument panel looks as if you're in a small plane's cockpit. I love that 

Done 1st service near permas bridge JB, they're still new at that time cant even accept c.card. Now I guess they can.

2nd service at PJ (federal hiway). Superb service and facilities.

3rd service in another two weeks. Dunno where to go and try already...
