Thx bro. Something end with 011 if not mistaken, doc not with me.

Yup, currently only HB but Sedan is estimated to be here in 3 weeks time.

I took White.

FYI, Black is no longer available for this FL but they are bringing in the Blue. Can refer to Mazda UK website, i was just told when i collect the car, if happened that i know earlier i would have picked that color. Last time asked the SA and he said no idea, now available pulak

It's almost the same but I took public instead.

I'm a bit disappointed that this road noise issue hasn't improved on the FL model, once reaching 110kmh the noise is kinda annoying to me. I also noticed there was a strange noise when turning into junction with slow speed.

Changing tyre is my next plan and hope it gets better, either F1 or PS3. Other than the road noise, I love every bit of the M3 after few days owning it.

I guess the strange noise is coming from tyre too, it creates some "Wooom Wooom" sounds when turning into junctions but once the steering is straighten then the noise will be gone.

I'm sure you have experienced this kind of noise regardless of what car, in certain roads they have these gripped surface/road line. When our tyre goes over it, it creates a kind of funny sound. That's the "wooom" sound i found in my ride when ever turning into junctions, not everytime but 4 of out 10 times maybe...

Yes, FL comes with conti max 215/45/17.


Bro, mine is artic white

Maybe you can look into Yokohama v551 as well, pretty good review i have seen through the web. A fair play between comfort and performance. But not sure whether it has 16 inch, gotta ask around.

I got quite a fast response from them even before getting my ride. Once send request then the group admin msg me to confirm already.

Alright, will do. Maybe tomorrow during daytime snap a few to share here with ya.

Here are some photos of the 2.0 FL HB to share as promised.

New front bumper design


Round fog light


New rear bumper (I prefer the previous design though)


Lock/Unlock trigger button. (Both driver & passenger door)


Another trigger button next to reverse light


Interior, center console has been darken instead of silver. Gear shifter area turned reflective finishing.


Blue illuminated gauge, at night "It really POPS".


Push start button


Smart key. Key can be used to start the car manually if the remote battery gone flat.


Don't like the "Go Laju Sikit" emblem, so ripped it off...

Maybe Charles86 pasang HB front n rear bumpers and modofied single exhaust leh...Monster hidden under the hood

I wonder what is the correct angle for the reverse camera, shall it be showing a wide rear view with limited rear bumper shown in the display?

GS installed mine, in the DVD screen I see half of it is my bumper and the other half is the ground. I find this angle not really practical to me, it tilts too much.

Just wanna confirm with you guys since we all M3 should have installed it at similar position and show similar angle. Maybe I upload a picture later, pictures from you guys are much appreciated as well.

Bro, were you the aluminum metallic HB at GS on Tuesday afternoon? Saw one there and realized that color is awesome after keep looking at it. Little bit regret...

Just to share some thoughts after weeks with the conti MC5, Im awared of road noise issue with M3 so first thing i do when I got the car is to check the road noise instead of performance. The first few days, it did annoyed me honestly so I dropped by my friend's tyre shop to get solution. Then I questioned about ps3, a2, Yokohama all that. He is a close friend of mine so he kinda know what's the point behind my questions, without talking much he hooked up 4 ps3 used tyre with 70% thread left and went for a test drive with me.

There was improvement although it's used tyre, but it's not a Super Huge one from what I expected. He kinda explained to me in detailed that there is always certain noise level when come to R17 45/40 series tyre, it is just how bad or worse and how well you can take it as time goes(depends on each person preference). From there I realized I actually magnified this issue a lil too much within myself. True enough, after 2 weeks driving the car my attention over road noise issue actually got distracted by every other bits of the car. The smoothness, handling, keyless, styling etc... Just got to say I love driving it.

Performance wise of MC5, I would say its fair though. Only one thing need to pay attention, while taking a big curvy corner with the speed of 110-120. When the road is a little uneven, the tyre seems can't get enough traction and under steered could happen then you will find the car is slightly sliding towards your next lane. Don't get me wrong, I'm talking about those smooth curvy corners on bigger road or fly-over. Not sharp corners with the speed of 110, those sharp corners only Hamilton can do it with that speed. Way too dangerous to do that though.

Overall conclusion, it's not really that bad with the MC5 but definitely room of improvement is there. If budget is with you and having a thought of changing, Why not? There are many other cool features could easily drive your attention away, that's why we are landed here with our M3...

Great to hear that.

How many years will it last....unsure. But it comes with 2 years warranty from tribos.

Bro u r the Man...

M3 HB 2.0 RM80 Ron 95 Shell = 390-420, yet to go for the first service. Hope it does improve after that.

Spec sheet actually can refer back to pre-facelift as there isn't any major upgrades in term of performance, it's just some cosmetic upgrades here and there. What are the add-ons can refer to this post below, hope it helps.

I own a HB but never driven a sedan for its handling....
Why not head to a showroom test drive it and ramp it to feel the difference compare to your sedan? Experience it is always a better choice in my opinion.

Congrats on ur new ride

Although with coating, after 2 months of owning it. I see swirls on roof and bonnet too but only visible on certain perspectives, I guess it's normal. Since ur new baby only one day old, can bring along the coating warranty card and complain to them. Heart sick seeing new baby with swirls.

For the head light, I have similar inconsistent light level but very minor so I never border about it. Mine is HB too by the way.
