On and off will display istop error, but most of the time shows error. I'm thinking of switching to AGM battery for the next change. Trying to stretch the battery life with my charger till i get year end bonus.

The bosch c7 should be more than capable in doing the job, but i'm using ctek mxs 5.0 since it was cheaper than the bosch unit when i purchase it years ago.

Maybe kena wanacry but hush hush

Lol maybe

SA finally called me. Car done registration just waiting for number plate. Can collect tomorrow. Finally.

Congrats~

Wow
Mine next monday at earliest

congrats for new owner ^^

Thanks all Finally got the car. Test drove around 30 km with it (only had 1 hour time off). so far really satisfied with the performance. really hope it's not lemon hahaha. Just realised that the paddle shift can overwrite auto mode. don't need to purposely switch to manual. Also sound quality from the speakers are excellent even via Bluetooth connection. One complaint so far is that there are completely no storage space at the door handle level. only got one hole to put a drink that's about. No slot to stuff things also behind the driver's seat.

paddle shift will override auto got a certain amount of time depends on your driving behavior if you do cornering or apply throttle very often then the manual override will last longer before back to auto, is good enough for my usage la, usually i use paddle shift when overtake car or cornering only

if i'm not mistaken the gvc version got slightly bigger storage area for the door compare to non-gvc version, it is a let down for the interior storage space, but it makes your car cleaner since you cant store more things inside the car

my friends who sit my car all said my car so clean, well...because there isn't much place for me to put my stuff

Ooo I see. Yeah storage space very limited in this car.

Noob question for all:

How do you all configure the radio stations ah? It doesn't display all the stations on the screen one ah? I have to dive into favourites everytime?

sadly no, if you want to change the radio station you can access it via favorite menu or you go to Entertainment (or press the music button next to the command knob) then you go to the Scan (or tune? cant remember) option from there you can set your radio station frequency then you can also save it as favorite so you can access it from the Favorite menu

so far there is no way to make it show the radio station name or the song title it is playing, and no tweaks that can do that for nows

Lol yes that seems like to be the only way. Quite ridiculous in my opinion. Every other car, even the Mazda cx 5. I can just press the radio station from the menu. Nobody feedback this to Mazda? should be able to fix via firmware.

Also is there any for the car to auto lock? Or only can do manually? Haha

cx5 and m3 is different firmware, not sure why they do that though, it will take a while for you to get used to it, but so far i have no complain on the radio station, just that it doesn't show the station name or song playing and no album artwork display is a let down

auto lock is not available under certain international safety regulation, but can unlock the feature by accessing the CANBUS configuration, need a laptop and data cable though

That is really unfortunate. This is currently one of the most annoying thing with the M3 at the moment haha. Only shortcut I've tried is pushing next and previous and it will hopefully between the favourite stations. Even my previous Exora can show station name what is this Mazdaaaaa.

Wah so complicated. Will try to remember lock the door manually then

You can buy an accessory which autolocks by brake or gear position and folds the side mirrors when the car is locked but not sure if it is available in Labuan or not.

hi all

is it worth to get low spec m3 2016 discounted or m3 2017 gvc?

except some cosmetic change and gvc in 2017 rite? others things mostly same rite?

Not sure if low spec 2017 GVC model will give u dual zone aircond and HUD or not

I get the 2017 gvc gl , if compare price between 2, 2016 will be a great deal but since it is already one year car, we must compare price for both 2017 car (not sure still got 2017 non gvc model,but Mazda website show the price) , with added around 6k u get some minor changes in appearance, interior improve in terms of cosmetic and storage spaces, improve in sound insulation and gvc system..


No dual zone aircond, gl spec just manual aircond ... No HUD also...

High spec GVC model does not come with dual zone aircond though car is small so not really necessary imo

Hi fellow M3 owners. Anybody knows where to get this Bosch EFB Q85 battery in PJ/Puchong/Klang area?

Thanks.
