Anyone runs their M3 with Bridgestones Potenza RE003 225/45/18???
Supply is getting limited for re003, and the pricing doesn't seem compelling for the performance it provides.
Would suggest you go for the hankook v12evo2 or the falken fk510 after running down the factory tyres. Both value for money without sacrificing performance with the added improvements towards road noise harshness compared to the factory set.

Hi all, am very interested to get m3. geared towards sedan but still not sure of gl or hs. Any issue on the 18 inch rim? Heard it's high maintenance and bumpy ride, I mainly use for daily use and not genting cornering everyday. no family yet.
any spec will probably be a huge upgrade as I am currently on my 10 years old myvi.
I understand the new m3 is out and coming soon in bout half year. tho the sedan version looks very polished, it's probably gonna be forever cbu. Will such move increase the maintenance and rv of current gen m3? I just checked carlist and the m3 2014 onwards seems pretty strong. But not sure bout the future with this move.
the new m3 is pretty expensive if cbu, referring to the new australia pricing ( will rather get cx5 with that price), thus no plan to wait for that.
Already test drive this vs Civic and probably gonna settle with m3 this weekend. Civic spacious and comfort, but the exterior is not my liking and overall due to the size, the car feel a bit bulky (雷) to drive..(anyway if not m3, I ll happily settle with the new civic2019 later)
Please advise, thanks.
Bumpy or not, you have to decide for yourself after taking it for a test drive between the 2 specs. But the benefit of high specs is the gorgeous headlights. Worse come to worse, if cannot tahan the 18in, you can swap to 17in after wearing down the factory set of tyres.
But if you're coming from the myvi, you might find it kind of claustrophobic as the rear legroom and the smaller windows compared to what myvi offers. The front hood is long, so have to judge carefully for the initial periods of ownership.
If you're concern about future RV, just get the honda instead, definite peace of mind in RV aspect. It is not that bad, but definitely not honda/toyota level.
If you can wait, suggest you hold on till the launch of both the new mazda3 and the facelifted civic.

There have been news stating that the new m3 would remain as a CBU for the CKD production to be reserved for the SUVs which is more profitable, aka CX3, 5 and the upcoming CX8. Though things may change in the future depending on consumer demand. On top of that, it is also rumored that the base line m3 will start from a 1.5L engine @ approx RM140k.
One thing to note on the Civic, I find the car's panels are softer and hollow-er. This was part efforts to lighten the car as well as cutting cost (please correct me if I am wrong in this department).
The near future plan for mazda malaysia assembly will be solely on cx5 (and it's larger derivative, cx8).
Outer panels are all made of soft steel, unless specifically stated otherwise or the structural component. Cannot merely judge by how "hollow" it sounds as factors such as the shape, the fitting hard points, and other components come together to make up the "sound". There is no cost cutting involved in outer sheet material.
