depends on what you want to hear about m3, high compression engine and no turbo, definitely lesser aftermarket parts compare to seaweed

owned it for 3 months only 3.5k mileage, so far no major problem except the front suspension got sound when going through bump and while raining

other problem is the high spec m3 tyres is using low profile sport tyres, not really suitable for rough malaysia road, some of the owner had their tyre swollen and have to change

another common problem is the battery premature failure, but the system will show warning and the car is still driveable with i-stop, can claim the battery from sc under warranty, a new one cost around RM400-600 depends on where you get it

stock is toyo T1 sport

not much problem actually, tyres is subjective and can say is random, just make sure you dont go through uneven road or bump and high speed and dont scratch anything against the sidewall then should be fine

the factory defect is only the knocking and ngek ngek sound at the front suspension while raining, then again seems like not all cars has this problem

the battery will reach end-of-life sooner or later as it is consider as wear and tear, syukurlah we can claim for new battery from sc (for one time only)

if want to prolong battery life just make sure to switch off i-stop after start car

some skyactiv m3 club member has already reached 60k mileage and warranty over, so far no complain of major problem other than the stated problem above and some minor rattling sound, this is a good thing because skyactiv-everything is consider very new tech in the market

one thing though, the road noise of this car is very very very extremely noise if you compare with seaweed, probably is because of the sport tyres that come factory installed on our m3
