Ambank exactly 1 month ago and i got mine for 2.75% and immediately after 1 week it become 3%
*
i applied with ambank right before cny and got 2.74% haha. other bank cimb gimme 3% and maybank gimme 3.05%
my loan approved and will get my new car soon!

and guys, i am thinking of what window tint to use for the car. what are u guys using and what spec?

i am driving 2010 mazda3 right now, and last time when i was looking to do tinting they say dont get >5mil tints coz might cause the power windows to fail.
in the end i went with llumar 4mil security film.

i asked for llumar again, coz i used it for 6 years and its damn good.. no issues.
the specs

Model: T4-50
VLT: 50%
TSER: 45%
IR reject:90%
uv reject: 99%
thickness: 4mil

my concern is that the TSER is only 45%. price is around rm1.8k

SA also recommend a brand called Sahara. similar price but 5mil with tser of 70%. i dont know if this is a reputable brand and if they just bullshitting on the TSER.

what are your inputs? please share with me what tint you guys use?

Guys,

I so miss my M3..!

I didn't drive my M3 since 6th Feb T.T

One of the tires has punctured and I find it hard to replace one. I have been calling many suppliers and workshop, all of them very hard to get replacement.

Just like most of you all, I am using original size, 215/45/18.

Now I have three options:

(A) Keep on searching for one, but can't drive my car.

(B) Change to 225/45/18. (What's the effect?)

© Downgrade to 17". (What's the effect?)

Thanks a lot! Need suggestions from you guys..

Cheers,
D.

Use this to calculate. I would choose option b. I read anything less than 5 percent is acceptable.

So.. Choose option b for all 4 tyres. Trade in your 3 tyres since quite new

My 2010 m3 cbu also came with a funny size Coz Toyo tyre. End up I chose a lower profile and wider tyre. Been using the same size for 4 years ( changed my Toyo after 2 years. )

I'm using Llumar Diamond 6. Last time when I installed the price was around 1.8k ~ 2k included GST around 8 months ago.

For me the Llumar Diamond 6 are okay only.. The heat reduction not really as good as V-KOOL cause my previous ride was using V-KOOL Elite.

And you must aware of this, if you never used any security film before, after installing security film that are 4mil or 6mil above.. You'll noticed that it's slightly a bit blur and it's not as clear as non-security film due to it's thickness.

If possible, just get 4mil as it's already good enough to prevent 1 hit snatching thieves.

Above are just my opinion, your decision are finale notworthy.gif
*
Thanks for your advise bro. I previously use 4mil llumar security Film. Don't notice any blur effect lol. Maybe my senses not refined. Lol

So you recommend just the 4mil? But that tser only 45 percent. Diamond 6 is 59 percent. Price difference is just 300 ringgit hmm.
How much is VKool elite?

No problem bro.

If you're used to 4mil then maybe you can try 6mil cause shouldn't be much differ since you're already used to 4mil film.

Can't really recall the price for V-KOOL Elite cause that was 5 or 6 years ago sweat.gif
*
Just checked price. Diamond 6 is around rm2.5k. Crystal 6 1.8k.

53% tser vs 59% tser on d6
90 irr vs 97 irr

So big price difference.

Diamond 6 no problem with Autogate remote and smart tag right?

Also does the color of the tint play a big part to match the color of your car? Mine is meteor grey

Just test drive m3 ckd high spec, very impressive acceleration even though I didn't floor it, maybe I already used to my vios 1.5 slow acceleration tongue.gif

The radar cruise doesn't seems to work or need certain speed for it to work? I cruise at 60km/h and closing in behind a lorry but the car doesn't slow down hmm.gif

Didn't get to test city brake and i-stop because the route doesn't have traffic light
*
The city brake only works if your car is 1-30km/h speed.
Look in YouTube. Topgear got test lol

Istop u just go a parking space and hard brake. Watch it kick in

Talking about hidden buttons, I sent my car for ECU remap & the sifu told me that there's actually a button on the accelerator when you press full to turn on "aggressive driving mode". Never knew about this.

After googling, it's called a Accelerator Pedal Kickdown Switch.
*
Can take a picture of the button? Curious if it's a sports mode button lol

Ok googled it. It's like an overdrive mode for overtaking

What film did they put for your front windscreen. It can't be Diamond 6 or Crystal 6 as those are security tints which you can't used for front. Their VLT also don't comply with JPJ if used for front windscreen.
*
I asked d

Diamond 6
Front n back is Llumar GOLD

Crystal 6
Front n back is Llumar Silver


And I already decided to get diamond 6 when I get my car later this week. Rm2.4k T.T

According to their Website Llumar Gold has VLT of 63% (TSER 43%) and Llumar Silver has VLT 57% (TSER 41%) so neither will comply with JPJ of VLT 70% for front windscreen. The only tint which may comply are AIR90 (VLT86% TSER 28%) or AIR80 (VLT 78% TSER 43%).

Even AIR80 probably won't comply as our glass is already slightly darkened.

However if your front windscreen don't look too dark to get through JPJ/police road block it's OK. Just be prepared to tear it off before Puspakom inspection when you sell your car.

In fact I think 90% of cars on the road don't comply with the front windscreen ruling. It's a choice between complying and getting poor TSER or not complying and getting decent TSER.

hi i asked already.

i am selling my old car now as well. the dealer that buying it, when i told him got tint cost rm2k, he say doesnt matter. need to tear out when puspakom. so no issue for them.

and yes it doesnt meet, but i asked the tint salesgirl, they say if jpj stop and issue u summon, just give the summon to them, they cover it. i think thats why some of their product they say jpj compliant and some no. if jpj compliant and u get saman, can claim from them.

My current version is V56.00.100A. Our firmware region is ADR. Stick to ADR or our radio frequencies will be out of sync. Let me know if you have any questions regarding updating your OS smile.gif

V56 has improved bluetooth connectivity and quicker response but not any major changes.
