Can't wait to get my M3 soon !!!

Grats Pal & welcome...

Mine still delayed cuz of registration number. Quick la delvin. =\

Seldom hear cars audio player can play DVD 1... usually just for CDs.

collected my ride on last thursday night. all in all, what an exciting car to drive, loving it so much. only one complain though, the road noise is slightly too loud when cruising on highway...

anyway, anyone knows if there are any black headlights and taillights covers for sale... i mean something like on some of the previous generation mazda 3.

thanks alot.

U mean black inside the headlamp? That would look damn cool.

yup, black inside. my friend told me i can just spray the inside black...

Again lo, if do mod like that means have to open up, later any problem with headlamp the warranty void?

i have yet to ask delvin. but it's a pure cosmetics mod, doesnt involve wiring and stuff. so thought should be ok.

Yeah no wiring but it's still opening it up right. So later lets say got leak or something. And water comes in due to the leak that cause a short circuit. Then?
Alternative may be to go with GS but how much will it cost? Do they do these sort of mods?

Hi all,

Is it anybody have experience servicing car at EXCELCAR SERVICES Bandar Sri Damansara ? ..Just went for 1K service and seems nobody there. Only my car and one M6. No need to make an appointment ...just go. During service my car there is no other cars even for
other brand such as Hyundai and Kia. This service center is panel for Kia and Hyundai as well.

For those who did their service there please share your experience. Good or not? Quite near with my house and very convenience for me. The only thing is that the workmanship is good or not.

Just curious.

I cannot start my car after 5 days i leave it under porch. Since my car only 16 months old , I quite shocked when found that my car battery almost kong..

Checked the battery fluid level and it almost empty ...top up then jump start the car.


For all of M3 owner, please check ur battery fluid regularly . I just serviced my car couple weeks before!


From my fast experience , normal battery can last at least 24 months ,



Mazda 3 1.6 using NS40 and it quite small compare to the the housing that can fit in NS60

The Mazda 3 is somehow using the old fluid type battery which u need to add fluid every now and then. If u do it every few months then the battery can last for years. Otherwise will be like your case. If change to the dry type battery the. It's maintenance free for couple of years.

It's very subjective to comment batteries life can last for how long.
I would say 2 years is possible but it's all depending on your usage & maintenance.

My car is 12 months old, I leave it for 15 days and it started just in one ignition.

my previous car battery last for 2.5 yrs (normal one) ...SC always check /top up battery fluid every times i sent for service.

If the SC check up my battery level during last service , i think the result wont be like this.

battery only covered up to 12 months , may be that why they dont check it on my last visit to SC



great lesson for me

Maybe the SC didnt check your battery water level when you serviced that time? Workmanship problem?

IMHO :Most probably they didn't check the battery fluid level , otherwise , how come it far below low level .

Most of the time I serviced my car at Jalan Ampang , so better save than sorry .
