it seems like everyone that get their m3 will try out full acceleration

maybe for small car will have that problem, m3 should be okay i guess



what happened to your car?

look like whitening of internal layer, probably due to the paint applied to too thick

so your car is with you? or you put it in SC for 2 weeks already? try ask if can change SC or not

Try send back SC for warranty

The lucky draw can get what? This week have to go back hometown so cannot go roadshow

Last week I went to Kia roadshow in 1u nothing special on the interior, and their car is quite underpower based on the spec no wonder fuel consumption so bad

Kia roadshow is last week, i was there for a movie last week, so go there walk walk and see lor

as usual no salesman approach me because i look too poor

Already driving a m3 since beginning of march

this car already got a lot of road noise, a little but from the visor wont make it worst la

i think those with aerodynamic shape and non-obstructive one wont have noticeable wind noise

mine no bodykit, no spoiler only stock setup, no need to post la

what is the usage first, a lot of travelling on highway? traffic jam?

m6 cbu got i-eloop is it? probably that's one of the reason

9L/100km is not very normal, either your leg too heavy or the traffic condition that causes you to burn more fuel (e.g. traffic jam)

mine is average at 8.2L currently

if i'm not mistaken, m3 60-80km/h that time still in 4th gear or 5th gear, after 100 only it will shift to 6th gear, and it like to drop gear when you just press slightly harder on accelerator

you change the gear to manual mode to check?

because in manual mode it seems to limit the gear i can upshift until i exceed certain speed

Just tested it in the road, it shift to 6th gear so early no wonder feel like no under power

Just now I finally get the SCBS to activate once by trying to bang the touch n go gate at the toll booth

Yeah, if like the brake pedal malfunction when SCBS activated, the growling sound from the pedal is scary

I don't think you can find a lot of used car around, probably have to wait another year or two

Did you try carlist.my? They got quite a lot of used m3 around that price range or cheaper

Get the 2.0 is you can because 1.6 will be underpower due to its weight

2.0 and 1.6 is same other than engine capacity, there should be little to no difference in term of maintenance, perhaps you should worry about fuel consumption and road tax cost

There doesn't send to be much complains about the previous gen, even the current gen m3 don't have much complains other than the right front lower arm causing sounds

Driving at Ipoh over the weekend and fetch my parents all the time and noticed that the FC increased from 7.7L average to 9.1L average when driving in Ipoh road with same driving style

While in KL I can get 7.7L to 8.3L average all this is the reading I get from the onboard trip meter

Maybe Ipoh road a lot of traffic light and most of the time cannot go over 80km/h to get the fuel saving cruising speed, so it seems like driving slower actually consume more fuel, while my previous vios consume less fuel when driving below 90km/h

m3 like road with flat and long stretch, ipoh road a lot of traffic light, small road and no highway, the highway can go up to 80-90km/h then you have to slowdown because there are so many slow drivers ahead

you're comparing m3 and which cars?

just get m3 HS la, no regret

wanna ask, roughtly how much would it cost to spray our 18" rims?

normal spray

if plastidip need how many bottle for 4 rims?

if normal spray how much would it cost?

already tried it last week, 150 km/h feel like 50 km/h only if minus the noise

when around tapah hill area, try change to 4th gear and keep your rpm above 4k, can really feel the push when the car accelerate at maximum torque

that's how SC works actually, they dont fix things, they replace it and chatge you at least 30% more than outside

if you need a new skirting/bodykit just go taobao, cheaper than you get it locally

if you need workshop just go outside if the parts you want to fix wont void warranty, last time i went a SA told me if i want to get cheaper battery can just source it outside because SC sell it for RM650, of course he whisper to me only la
