Guys,

Got my M3 ckd HS Aluminum metallic yesterday evening

The car was in the showroom store for nearly 2 weeks while I waited to book a registration number from JPJ.

So many electronic functions.....need a few weeks to learn them

So far, have not detected any "kriok" sounds from the front side.

Gratz Bro!!


Btw, anyone notice that the Mazda 3 in China aka Axela.. their air-con panel is the Mazda 6 version.. i wonder if i could buy the Mazda 6 Air Con panel and change onto my Mazda 3

hi guys, doing a groupbuy for members for some Accessories, anyone here interested, have a look at my siggy below

Thx to lowyat SA for the interesting offer, but i worry abt it is too far for me to get the new car (i'm from mlk)
just booking from my fren (discount rm500) yesterday.
but now i'm pening abt the colour. my fren say if white colour, me can get it bfore raya, if meteor grey then need wait, cant guarantee when.

Anyone bro here is getting white colour? This m3 is solid white macam proton persona punya white? Izit very hard to take care?
Thx ~

bro, the grey color lagi susah to take care. very obvious with dust. white color is just that easy to get the stain like tear......but if you are rajin in wash car, any color will do.....

Ohya, the white colour izit will become yellowish after using 1-2 years?

The HB doesnt come with Leather, the SA did offer the leather seat which will set me back 3k, but then I reject it when I found out that the leather is not direct from the factory, which mean it is not the same thing you see in a High Sedan, its OEM from outsider, so-called the mazda appointed leather seat supplier, which I believe is the same to the free leather for the CBU version. they claim that the OEM leather is Nappa which is better than the HS but I havent actually seen 1 so Im doubt about it. Another thing is that the leather is actually warp over your fabric seat, unlike the HS leather seat. will it affect the air bag fuctionality on the seat? Im not sure.

any promotion for ckd mazda 3 sedan during this raya? can share here?

I heard the meteor grey mica color got problem, hence dragged so long. Is it true?

my meteor grey mica still no news after one month booking. i dont mind to change colour.. only if mazda can offer soul red

Wow, thank you for the kind words, its an on going learning curve for me, but i will always do my best for my customers hehe

Thank you JT...

Slowly 'exploring' the new car. I'm beginning to think the M3 HS has got more sensors, more electronics and more computing power than the early Apollo modules And it looks much sexier than those "cones"


Let us know how you get along with your air-con panel transplant


Cheers,

I might be interested in the scuff plates...the red ones on an aluminium metallic car?
Just to "lepas geram" that I couldn't get the soul red car.....

But I have to sort out the other main accessories first...

Cheers,

Omg really??? So they didn't take out the original fabric seat but just wrap over a new leather.. Omg this so unprofessional.. better don't take it bro as it really affects the side airbag from coming out n as well as the fitting will not be good..

Thanks for the tip!

Interested in the scuff plates! Do you provide installation as well?

sry bro, i dont provide installation, it can be DIY quite easily

I feel pretty weird that Mazda didnt offer much of optional parts to add on (if there is even any), I wish there is a carpet for the back of the boot, similar like the carpet in the cabin which come with a nice chrome name tag.

something like this

Yeah I ask, sadly Mazda 3 is not dual zone.. If not probably should be able to change the air con design to the Mazda 6 type

Hi MaZians, can anyone confirm which tinting does affect the reception quality of in-built Tom Tom satellite receiver?

I read somewhere that these brands not suitable:
V-Kool $1800
3M $2200
Huper $2700

I am very keen to install 3M when I get my ride, but worry that GPS will become inefficient.
