I heard this too, and also if the info is correct the spec will be slightly lower than the current CKD model, but the price will be higher due to CBU.

Hi, M3 owners. What is the average fuel consumption for city and highway druving?

For me,
City - 7.9L/100km
Highway - 5.3L/100km
Down hill - 3.6L/100km

Combine - ~6L/100km

Mazda knows where to focus and they are right on the money on the cx5. C segment is hard hill to climb against the civic despite the regular final quality touches problem.

ya.. M3 GVC launched half a year I still see myself only on the road but new CX5 just launched for 2 months already everywhere on the road. Just wonder will CX5 having all the issues that M3 facing?

Stock rim spray with Gun Metal Coat??

Won't be surprised if this is real. As the M3 sales volume is not exactly large, it may not make good economic sense to have ckd units.
If CBU units comes with additional goodies like BOSE sound systems, full fledged i-Activsense (or at least add radar cruise control), the $10K extra will be worth it.
Not to mention you are getting Japanese quality control . However at this price even lesser potential buyers will be looking at M3.

really got such thing ? or u just kidding ? hahaha

The 1st gen cx5 also have some issues with suspension noise, albeit not as bad as what the mazda 3 faced, probably due to the higher suspension travel and different geometry.

The only major issue that i witnessed was one of my previous colleagues car got a leaky compressor. Leaking oil and noisy, but still drives well. His car could be a rare exception though...

No kidding bro. One tyre shop in Kajang do have this service but need to put your rims there for 4 days while they can loan you their rims while your rims are with them.

Guys. What is the current rebate for M3 GVC both low and high spec?

if not mistaken CX-5 should be around same price range with m3, comparing side by side CX-5 is a better buy with more interior space and it is a SUV, more and more SUV on the road nowadays

but i still like m3 for its sexy sporty look

not sure if it is because of bermaz marketing, feel like m3 doesn't get the attention compare to CX-5

and there are more m2 and CX-3 on the road compare to m3

I just realized that for same price i can get high spec ketam.

I'll just wait for M3 see if price become cheaper or more expensive. If more expensive, i'll cancel my purchase d.

where got same price range? you are comparing lowest spec CX5 to high spec M3? cannot compare like that lah..

I only witnessed one of the CX5 with leaked rear trunk, water drip in when raining but able to solved by SC.
so I think M3 just can't compete with other c-segment sedan in M'sia, ppl easily go for ketam than M3.

Malaysians prefers more interior space, and add to the fact that the altis just got too darn boring and the new turbo engine frenzy, so ketam wins the game by market.

I went for the mazda3 because elantra turbo so slow to market into malaysia. Also thought of ketam, but also need to wait, no test drive some more, so mazda got my game
