Since you're into ICE, i guess you should know a bunch of car kakis. You can ask for their help for first hand clarification.

Replica ones won't suddenly bent on normal driving. The risks comes when you hit something hard or a deep pothole. Some replicas undeniably can last throughout the lifetime of the car, but the risk is there for the owner to consider (provided the owner knows that it is a replica, some shops do cheat unknowing people).

Can try Lenso Venom :
https://www.mudah.my/Malaysia/New+Ori+18+Le...RV-72344613.htm

or sparco assetto gara (i remembered sometime ago this seller also sell the pcd fit for mazda, may need to check though) :
https://www.mudah.my/Sparco+assetto+gara+18...6142.htm?last=1

or if you fancy a little different, prodrive gc010e (this one forged by rays; 2nd hand though, super rare) :
https://www.mudah.my/Rays+japan+rim+17+prod...1658.htm?last=1

or my personal favourite, enkei nt03rr (not black but gunmetal grey) :
https://www.mudah.my/Enkei+NT03RR+18+8jj+of...AN-59111490.htm

Of course , cannot forget the venerable advan rs/rz series, expensive though whether new or used.

Yeah the sparco is a good choice but offset 50. Stock rims offset 48.
Plus 8j is a bit wide no?
Have to fit 225/40R18s if need to have good fitting.

Still contemplating..

Stock offset is 50, and 2mm difference almost like nothing.

8in width just nice, front will be almost flush look.

You can still fit 225/45/18 without too much speedo variance, but kerbing risk a little higher as quite likely the rim lip will protrude a little bit (depends on tyre construction, some are wider). 225/4018 seems a little more expensive; the possible better fit will be 235/40/18; of course tyres even more expensive la...

Can play with the settings in this website to have some perspective on the changes :

Nah. It's the current model. I asked the SA when the new model is in and said only August or September. Might only be available in CBU form.

There was article mentioned that Bermaz will be cutting out the M3 from their CKD plans and swapping it with the CX8 in their efforts to focus on SUV due to better margins.

Not sure how much of it will be true though.

yes, the new mazda will be in CBU (price will increase), but no sure in future. According to SA, it will available either in Q2 or Q3 of 2019...but most likely only Skyactive-G, not X....

Yeah, standard defect. Its the bed creaking sound.
The issue is the Lower Arm Bushings.

Send your car in to have them replaced.
Its free of charge if it is under warranty.

Will take 1 day to replace the front bushing and arms.

Normal sound for absorber, nothing can be done about it. Happens to pretty much most non premium cars after 1 year of driving. Not a defect either.

Have any one installed a front dashcam on their M3? Wonder how did you all route the cables to keep it hidden?

Also was it connected to the fuse or via USB?

Ah, thank you Sifu. Learned something new.
Btw, what kind of wipers did you guys changed to?
I realised my viper is not as effective just merely after 1yr 1month usage. Thought of getting the wiper with lifetime warranty but prefer to seek everyone's advise icon_question.gif
Haha
