They are fine actually, just ask for the lowest agreed value if you want to save money. I'm with them for 3 years despite making comaprisons, mainly because you'll be sent to mazda's very own workshop for collisions repairs.

Not sure about your side, but on my end down south, pretty ok. I had a moderate collision claim, pretty hassle free and the workmanship is good. No need to worry about 3rd party workshop cutting corners, all my repairs were down under mazda's own official workshop using mazda's parts.

I understand.. Haven't had an accident claim with them and merely sharing the experiences of close pals.. Which is why I advised him to go for lowest agreed value possible or market value.. Cuz based on their experience, they'll find a way to not want to pay the agreed sum and will insist on market value.. As for repairs, well yeah, I expect the should be the best, seeing as they are the official partner.

hi guis... just got my hands on a secondhand mazda 3 2015 CKD.

been driving it around for a couple of days and haven't seen the BSM light up even once on a busy highway...

how does it work exactly? i tot any car passing thru the lane beside would at least trigger the BSM light.

try signalling when you see a car coming nearby

varta q85 115d23l. rm 490 normal battery shop price after trade in old batt rm20.

SC near my house quote me rm700 plus workmanship. rm650 batt price.

btw just realised standard issued battery thats on my car is not even varta.

On the lower right corner of the dash, there is a 6 button cluster above the fuel cap release. There's a "RVM" button, press on it and see whether the instrument cluster also lit up green for "RVM". It is also at the right lower corner below the speedometer.

Your price not bad.

The factory unit is GS Q85. Varta is after market unit, and should be better as the rating as higher than the factory unit.

just had the same thing last week . really short drive but perhaps nowdays really hot outside.
googled a couple of minutes to know that its normal. didnt know that before that the m3 engine has this kind of function
thought only for turbo car.

Hope the 2019 Kai version won't come out so soon, hope uglier also, so the one I order won't be outdated

Yup... last week was pretty hot in the afternoon. Didn't know M3 hv this special fan working.

I have a first-gen Mazda CX-5 CBU unit. The noise comes from the front suspension bushings.I made complain to Bermaz and they told me Mazda acknowledged this issue and have an internal service note to fix this by replacing the bushings. I had mine changed together with my regular service. This was some time ago. After they changed the bushings, no more sound. Therefore, do check with your service center.

how many KM youve managed currently without any noise after the parts have changed.
normally for m3 only sound on wet rainy days. and mine only made the sound after 20k km of usage.

After the parts are changed, no more noise coming out from the bushings. Same situation here, noise is very noticeable when going over bump on rainy days. Service center told me that there is a service note to replace the bushings as this is a known issue acknowledged by Mazda. Got the parts changed without any extra cost. You should check with you service center and make sure they have the parts ready for your next service appointment.

has m3 driver here successfully disable istop and use normal battery? please do share the story.

My car is scheduled to replace this in the up coming week.
Also the same mileage, around or reaching 20k km you will notice the noise :|

They really should sort this, embarrassing as the Koreans and other car makes dont have this noise.
