I think the SA talk cock only. Mine is GL, seems fine as of now.
Did u try to go to other SC?

hey guys, i have a few issues and questions on my m3 and would appreciate any advice.

1. Every once in a while, there's a loud cracking sound around my dashboard, it sounded like a stone hitting the windshield. At first i thought there was stone hitting my windshield and i was scared but this kept happening for 5 months since i got my car, now i am sure it is not stone hitting my windshield cause i dont see any stones everytime this happen. I start to suspect the sound came from my dashboard, probably some plastic parts in the dashboard which cause this sound? Anyone of you experience the same thing can tell me where the sound came from?

2. i notice a hissing sound around front passenger seat everytime i go over road that's not very even. the sound is constant like some part is loosen. My friend manage to trace and it seems to be coming from under the passenger seat. There's a black box thingy with wires, but i checked everything is sturdy. Again would like to get some advice is you guys had encounter this? my 10k service is due in 2 months, thought i should find out the problem and tell them to fix it.

3. Passenger seat reclining adjustment lever is very 'tight', need to use a lot of force to pull it only can recline. I'm afraid someday it will break the thing. Does yours pull easily?

4. Not a problem but just want to know whats the average FC you guys considered normal. My FC averagely around 8L/100km, 50% highway 50% city drive. Is this considered ideal? normally full tank i can travel around 500KM only with 2 bars left. I read some can go 600KM+. I tried to sail smooth whenever i can, but also some heavy footed driving when i'm alone and in highway.

5. Had some scratches on my bumper, meteor gray is EZY Touch Up Paint any good? or will it come out as ugly patches and better to leave it as is?
Thanks!

Press the info up/down button on the steering?
Believe me, a Mz3 doesn't tailgate a BMW *35 - the Bimmer driver is merely not in a hurry

The price is applicable to my area down south, check those near your area. Google is your good friend here.
The Skyactiv engines use timing chain, not belt. Care to elaborate/describe the sound in better detail.

It is normal that the chain sound is louder when the engine is cold when starting in early morning. After a while the noise will be less.

I get RM1k disc and RM 500 discount voucher  during road show in 1U.
The SA give me free 4miu safety tint and LED side step.
Upon delivery of car, 1 fill tank of petrol...lol

It is hard to explain , its kinda rattle like those old taxi , only occur on low gear/speed. i personally dun think it from engine more like "loose metal clinking" sound. i did mention my car is less then 2 years how come got carbon built up , they say it can happened as soon as 20k mark n yea , the "fake" ron97.u see y i smirked now?
it was Azam Motors
that what i tot , hence the smirk. if the pistons n chambers cause rattle sound, please stay away from tat car

then again the rattle kinda gone for now

Civic 1.8 OTR is RM 113,800. Considering the specs given, i think is matching the M3 GL in terms of value.

Despite of 1.8, but it comes with DRL, Remote Engine start, Walk Away Auto Lock, Smart Entry, Paddle Shift, Cruse Control, Full Color LCD Meter, Rear Aircond, 8 Ways Power seat, 520 Lit Boot, Apple/Android Mirror Link, Auto Brake Hold which not available in M3 GL.

I believe M3 handling still slightly better than New Civic, but new civic has much better space, comfort & better NVH.

Civic more for family, M3 more for zoom zoom single driver.. lol.

Lets the war begin! M3 GL vs 1.8, M3 HS vs 1.5 Turbo..

Is GL got daytime running light???
