QUOTE(guilt79 @ May 18 2014, 10:37 PM) Just now, I try to overtake a alphard. Dragging, I switch to manual and suddenly the car is in 2nd gear and rev to nearly 7,000 rpm. Even I release the pedal, it's still revving.. Until overwrite by shifting to 3rd gear. This sky activ gear not so good... Its like contagious now...i also kena. 2 days ago, i was driving at night. Upon going thru a tunnel under fly over from a left lane to middle lane, i was in a hurry to bypass a lorry on the middle lane. So i switched to manual from 3rd gear im supposed. The manual transition suddenly locked the gear at 1st gear to my shock and revving high till redline causing in balance like a front-back seesaw  my gfs screams and scolded me for that  luckily i switched back to Auto and everything came back to normal.

Dear wanna be M3 owners. If you about to go ahead with the purchase of M3 and suddenly knowing there is another C-segment that was more expensive before but went way cheaper today than your M3 and it is a European. What will you do?

QUOTE(ppldmc @ May 20 2014, 10:15 PM) Turbocharged 2.5L Skyactiv Mazda 3 MPS could be in market within two years with all-wheel drive. While recent reports have indicated Mazda was considering a diesel drivetrain for the MPS -- which will face off against the VW Golf GTI, Ford Focus ST and coming Honda Civic Type-R as main rivals . A bench test has confirmed 320ps (235kW) of power but final output is likely to be 300ps (220kW) depending on the tuning, according to the report. http://paultan.org/2014/05/20/next-mazda-3...turbo-four-awd/If this going to be reality, say good bye to Golf GTi and the rest by then  . Because one and only main thing i like about Mazda is the 'Oneness' concept  . Just like Subaru and BMW, Mazda build their cars everything from their chassis until body panel by themselves without third party influence even the Media entertainment called MZD Connect  Its a truly driver car. So when they plan to build a new MPS beast to rival the GTi and so, they surely had taken a lot of research and strategize the plan carefully. Cant wait

QUOTE(ppldmc @ May 21 2014, 11:48 AM) Ok, anyone ready to trade in their M3 for the MPS later?? I guess it would cost around RM 200K  Surely 200k plus... but packed with features ohh la la... i did hope our M3 includes the electronic seats mechanism.

Just got the info that since recently M5 Skyactive launch, there was an announcement made in the event that M3 purchase from then onwards will get free leather seats. I thought we all do get this for free for the past few months right? or there was some owners here didnt get their leather seat for free?

QUOTE(guilt79 @ May 25 2014, 10:45 AM) M3 don't have alarm. Only got remote lock system only. If you want alarm, have to install outside. That's why I got a steering lock, but because it's so heavy, sometimes the weight pressed the horn and everybody looking.  Seriously for RM139k and we dont have alarm equipped? hmmm....Viva is below RM50k and it has the alarm system included...shht

QUOTE(derravile @ May 27 2014, 03:18 PM) nope, i din't manage to see it myself, was called to collect car only if i am not mistaken, there should be a removable plastic in the place where u open the door, remove tht, u'll see a screw, remove tht, then u can slowly pry open from the bottom part, there are lock tgt with some plastic nuts(not sure what they are called), easily replaceable and removable, then u can just take out the door panel from the top You are right.....i sent, waited next to my car during the tinting process and they did what u said.

QUOTE(calapia @ May 27 2014, 05:07 PM) lol this is like asking for trouble... but yes the sound is obvious once the car is wet..... hahaha the car get syiok after getting wet so it starts making the sound louder.... usually when i go up a slope then i can listen dy... in between the slope and the road is not even and i am making a turn there...so its a nice point for me to check if new parts solve it or not Yes, when you drive after the rain (not driving and the rain comes after) it makes the kluk klak klan sound....On dusty dirt off road condition, u may hear such sound too but beware this could be the small stones stuck between the lower arm bushing (not water from the rain) causing the friction which causing the sound...
