Anyone using Petron 97?

I was initially using BHP 97 for quite some time. Few months ago, switched to Petron 97. For the past few weeks, I was hearing a soft rattling sound coming from the front engine side, whenever I press the accelerator in low RPM range (between 1000-2000 rpm). It got a little louder over the weeks and it really felt like I was driving a 5 year old car instead of a 1 year old.

I was seriously contemplating to pay a visit to Mazda already, until few days ago I had to pump BHP 97 coz low on fuel and no other petrol stations. The rattling sound has disappeared. Engine now feels super smooth like how the car should be.

Anybody experienced anything similar?

#notapaidadvertisement (disclaimer, lol)

i only pump caltex 95 and bhp 95 for my m3, i didnt pump other petrol brand and i dont have problem with knocking

malaysia m3 is tuned for all kind of 95 available in malaysia, even ron91 is acceptable if i'm not mistaken

mileage can see at my signature there

guys...thinking to join the M3 club... still undecided between the GL and HS.

would it be a good idea to get it in year end? m(perhaps they will dump in more rebates to clear stock?)

thanks smile.gif

get HS if you have the budget

end of the year the new facelift might come out, you can consider to get the new facelift instead

I'm a GL owner, will recommend you go for HS if your budget is enough. And if you worrying about the maintenance later on, you might consider downgrade rim to 16" as GL is, will save you some amount of money later on. Other than that, the maintenance between the two cars should be same. Except HS feature items like HUD, headlamp washer etc ....
*
maintenance according to schedule is the same

but for HS, if any of those extra features failed, it can easily cost 1k+ to replace those, except the xenon bulb replacement and headlamp washer

Hi guys, need advice on good paint job for our Mazda 3. Wife scratched the lower right side bumper during parking. Deep scratches.... T.T

Any recommendations for paint jobs for White Mazda 3 in PJ area?
*
use touchup paint, not worth to respray as it cost a lot and you need to left your car there for respray

m3 skyactiv club got their panel workshop for paint job, can ask in the group for recommendation

Oic, thanks.
I actually headache about choosing  between Madza 2 with LED and Madza 3 GL (Don't have budget for Madza3 HS). what I think is mostly features/ technology for both of them is almost the same, just the performance and displacement different.  rclxub.gif  rclxub.gif
But I still like the interior and exterior design of M3. Since you are the owner of m3 GL, do you hv any advice/ reason that I choose m3 instead of m2?
*
i'm driving HS, i believe most of the owners here go for HS because those extra features really make the car stand out among other C segment, even better than civic itself, especially the HUD and the speedometer, the driving experience is different

at first i thought my SCBS is not functioning, because i cant cause it to activate even though i try to follow the car in front very closely, until i really go and try it on a touch and go boom gate to experience how it feel when SCBS activate

recently i had an accident during TT, where the m3 in front of me emergency brake, then i know i was going to hit the car in front, then the SCBS activate at the right time and stopped me front crash the car in front, but too bad the car behind banged me because couldn't stop in time

rear view monitoring is so accurate and useful that at night it can detect a motor without headlight at my blindspot, initially i thought is it seeing those "dirty things" laugh.gif

from that moment i didnt spent my money on the extra technology for nothing, now i appreciate it even more icon_rolleyes.gif

SCBS is the only feature I yer to test it out and I hope I will never have to use that haha. So far driving experience with my M6 had been great.

Need to experience it once to know how it feels when it activate, of course if it activate means you more most likely going to bang the car in front if don't have SCBS

Thank you guys for the opinion... appreciate it... thumbup.gif  thumbup.gif  thumbup.gif
When you order yr car??? What kind of offers did you get last time??
*
I think I only get 2k discount and nothing else for my 2016 HS, not even a full tank sad.gif

But come to think of it, with 124k you get a car with sporty chassis, good performance compared to most C segment and many extra safety features that other C segment didn't offer

If It offer more discount, which means selling price reduced then it gonna affect the resale value, just like VW

Finally experienced SCBS this morning. Car in front of me looking for parking and all out of sudden a car out from parking and car in front sudden brake, me being the car behind following closely the SCBS kicked in with beep sound and brake itself. But I also press the brake too la and I felt the brake is already pre-pressed for me haha.

I have tested Civic turbo and Mazda 3, Civic turbo is powerful but very poor in engine sound insulation compared to Mazda 3. In short, the Mazda 3's overall driving experience is closer to continental car like BMW and Audi.
I always have the feeling that Honda car always spec up what people can see on paper or in the car, but cut a lot what you can't see. I hope I am wrong. unsure.gif
*
Because typical Honda fanboys only care about power and nothing else so they add in a turbo then change a bit on the design by adapting the same design concept from city then say they did a new design from ground up

Good thing of getting a Honda car is that there are a lot of aftermarket parts, unlike our skyactiv series which is a truly build from scratch is really limited in term of aftermarket parts, especially when It comes to high comp ratio engine, not everyone know how to properly tune or engine

If compare interior and exterior I guess we already have a winner in mind, but for typical Malaysians, having more power and bigger space win

I've also experienced SCBS during Raya 1st day. It happened during slow moving traffic in Bukit Jalil. An Audi Q5 which just came out from the junction tried to cut queue from my left  vmad.gif  vmad.gif  vmad.gif Being an asshole at that time, I kept closing the gap between my M3 and the X5 in front of me. Then suddenly SCBS kicked in with beep sound and auto brake  tongue.gif

How does one make sure that it's not display or test drive car when picking up the car? Check the milage?
*
if you get more discount then it might be the car is 2015 resgistered, which mean you are getting 1 year old car even though the car is out of the factory in december 2015

another possibility is display unit, usually SA will let you know if you are getting display unit and display unit will have even lower price because it should be selling as recond/2nd hand unit, there will be quite some mileage for test drive unit, i dont know how to check, i only know you can check the interior if it is scratched or anything damaged, and also there are a lot of plastic and tape inside for new car, show unit or test drive unit might not have those

even digital mileage also can be tempered, best is you go to reputable SA to make your purchase

Drove my cousin's m3 this few days, the scbs activated when i was approaching the boom gate

Kinda scared me a lttle bit  sweat.gif

yup, dont drive too fast when approach boom gate, when you drive at 30km/h, scbs will activate much earlier because your car is moving faster, best is you slowdown more when approaching boom gate then wait for the gate to open then only drive again

Hey guys, I'm getting my M3 HS within 2 weeks time, I got my SA to install the LED doorstep 300, boot tray 200, and only spoiler for 500, dilemma that should I get the spoiler follow my car body meteor grey or the black colour, and advice? And what's the first thing to check when I got my new car?
*
you can find those accessories in taobao at half the price, the duck tail spoiler is only RM50 in taobao exclude shipping

beware of color difference if you get painted spoiler, if get from sc should be no problem with color for me i will just settle for black color for the spoiler since it look good that way
