Hi everyone,

So I've been driving the M2 GVC for about a month, one thing I notice about this car is that the pickup is sluggish when accelerating from standstil eg. stopping to turn into a road, feels like it's taking quite some time for the car to pick up speed. Sometimes when trying to turn a road, by the time I am parallel with the road the car behind me is already so close.

One other instance is when trying to ascend on steep incline ( ~20° to 30°) e.g. entering multilevel car park, the car seems to struggle to pick up speed. When I depress the fuel pedal a little harder then only it will rush forward in a not so smooth way...

Just wondering what could be done about this?

Try add battery water and charge the battery, if all fails, change to Q-85 battery, make sure there is Q-85 written on the battery, normal 55D23L-85D23L don't last long. 95D23L (Q-85) or 115D23L (Q-85). Price ranges RM430-560.

For longer lasting battery, charge the battery often, every 2 months or shorter intervals. If the battery still have charge, it will be about 4 hours charge to full, if completely flat, it is about 10 hours, use a smart car battery charger so it will switch off when full.

Hi there, I have a question on this part? Wouldn't just using the car regularly would charge the battery anyway?

Just thinking forward (M2 user here)

The tyre size is hard to find, so did y'all eventually switch the rims? Or is it possible to find the exact tyre size?

1) What's the market price for rims that's of comparable quality with the stock rims?
2) If changing to more standard rims (e.g. 17") wouldn't that mess with how the car calculates fuel efficiency and mileage? (Just assuming that the computer onboard uses wheel RPM to calculate, idk)

Hi everyone, can suggest good tyres to replace the stock tyres? Seems like the most available size is 185/55r16 in the market hmm.gif

Better go for 195/55/16. Michelin Primacy tyres are not bad if you looking for comfort.

thanks for the suggestion! 195 refers to the width of the tyre that's in contact with the road right?
