u have to press and hold the unlock button to wind down the windows and vice versa.

Mine also has alot of stone chips...sakit hati...but afaik, the only way to "remove" it is to repaint the whole bumper again. The paint coating given my mazda is pretty thin i reckon.

effie_woo..

try to press unlock button long enough until all your window wind down. If still not working and it might be something wrong with your remote.

off course..stone chips is really make me pissed off especially when we really taking a good care of exterior part.

Best solution ..paint it

Checked with my SA, according to him, the latest FL did not have that function as the function caused some problems, to the window and the remote i guess. Thanks gahpadu for your guidance.

what do you mean by 100,000 km?

detail price/cost and parts for every 10k up to 100k km.

sorry

Hi all,
I have big doubts here to find out with you ppl regarding the fuel consumption of my M3.
My mileage can easily hit >500km until I did my 20k service in the HQ,
it never reach 500km anymore after the 20k service;
maximum mileage after the 20k service drop to approx. 450km> and I'm very sure for this because I keep observing it till now the undone 30k service.

So the 1st thing in my mind is about the engine lubrication oil.
Can it be due to the semi-synthetic oil was used instead of the supposedly fully synthetic oil?

Please to those whom have knowledge on this, kindly give your most valuable advices, I need to do the 30k service in this few days.

Cheers!

wah >500km? 1.6 is it

It's a 2.0L, I'm very sure the value is 500~520km but not anymore after the 20k service.

Or I should say fully town drive is +/- 480km<

And do keep in mind somebody said the engine lube oil for this 3yrs free service is only semi-synthetic oil.

u r given a choice of semi syn (5000km or more) or fully syn (10000km or more)..
ipoh here gives fully syn..i don't know about the rest

some still want to continue the 5000km kind of thing because before owning a mazda, they were doing that on other cars
even though it was explained to them, they still insist...so basically it's the choice of the customer...

SA will explain to the owner of the car beforehand of course..

the free service package only use semi-synthetic, i'm not feeling comfortable to use semi synthetic so i top up another $140 for fully synthetic.
my car easily can get 600km/tank if full highway. KL use 450/tank.

Hi Guys... last week I went to Melaka and i spotted an M3 white pearl added DRL light!! It is so cool and nice!! I really wish to add to my M3, anyone has idea where can get that? I heard our Panel GS didn't have already....

Other thing would like to share is My 1.6M3 is using 15", when drive highway speed up 140~150km/hr feel like abit floating... it should be quite stable right? Can anyone share the experience whether is a necessary to upgrade to bigger rim?

Try sunway, mine installed at sunway


Attached thumbnail(s)

Wow wow.. nice~! haha.. mind to share which area of sunway and how much it costs?

high profile tyre contribute to floating , either change to bigger rim or reduce the tyre profile to 55 series (off course not valid right) so , best alternative upgrade to 16" or 17" ( void the suspension warranty)

for DRL... there are many choices of DRL in the market right now..just google at auto garage .DRL

Is it the DRL light need to be fixed at GS or other workshop? any warranty void if outside than GS?
I just google and find this kind of DRL
Audi style of DRL

Dunno can add to our M3...

i think GS also sell that kind of led as DRL . but it only can be put out side the lamp . I say one M 1.6 done it to 'her' car

GS is appointed shop by Bermaz , any modification done outside GS may void ur warranty. Some said GS covered the warranty even u upgrade 15" to 17" at their shop

Any comment that put the led putside ar? I mean will it not nice when u saw it?? Then anything may need yo go back GS again..

not so obvious but look not so nice from closer look.

alternatively.. retrofit ur head lamp to demon eyes..look more sexy.. even they can put led inside ur head lamp
