got my BLM about a month now..
Manual, Black, M-Line.

everything is fine except :-

There is a problem with the IAFM, which produce the ticking sound *like a taxi* i just got it fix today. (Major issue in Proton BLM, majority of BLM has the same problem with the IAFM) They replace the whole IAFM for me. took me around 2 weeks of pushing them, but still not effective, then i called i-care n make a report. next 2 days i got my part ready to be changed.
If ur having the same prob call i-care (1300-88-0888)

No other problems i have with BLM, only the IAFM


Some facts about BLM that i personaly feel:-

Handling = 8/10 handling is good, the steering is not light like myvi's steering. it feels heavy and when i drive i can feel that im in control. overall very impresive *thumbs up*

Power (manual) = 7/10 like everyone said after 4000rpm the power kicks in. but if i rev that high the fuel comsumption is really bad. (i'll talk about the fuel after this). top speed i've taken so far is 165kmh n its still going. but the car started to turn really light n unstable. *note: i've done all my wheel balancing n etc* 140Kmh just nice for this car.
but when ur carrying 4 passenger in the car, ur car instantly becomes a tortise on the road.

Fuel Comsumption = 5/10 RM 56 full tank 290+Km its about Rm 0.19sen per Km. (driving below 3000rpm)
RM 56 full tank 240+Km its about Rm 0.23 sen per Km (driving above 4000rpm)
*im not sure whether the IAFM is causing the fuel comsumption to be so bad* yet to try it out (will keep u guys posted)

Breaking power = 6/10 the breaking power is okay, but when there is 4 passengers in the car, U BETTER SLOW DOWN EARLIER!!


let me know if u all wanna know anything else about the car.. i'll try n help if i can =)

*note this is all my personal thoughts about the car* =)


Good luck new owner of BLM. i would say great car..im loving it so far.. check for the ticking sound before u take the car home.

QUOTE(torresism @ Mar 22 2008, 01:42 AM)
mayb u r the only one owner with that IAFM problem..
*
The proton fellows said that majority of the BLM has the same prob..so im not really sure.. i just qoute what that proton dude said. koz when i went n change it, the proton dude was really frus n asking who called u n all and he added that *problem IAFM ni, banyak BLM ada. skg banyak org rebut2 nak tukar, thats y i tanya byk*

QUOTE(ivanau88 @ Mar 22 2008, 01:42 AM)
is ur iafm problem affect ur FC.Most of the users here are around 15 cent per km only wo..

yeah..i hope its the IAFM that is causing the problems. *crossing my fingers* i just changed my IAFM today so i need to wait n see =)

and u better invest in heatshield and CAI too smile.gif

oh, and the batteries are blocking the air too sweat.gif
*
yeah yeah..i cannot put it any more front because of the heat. i need to customize the heat shield soon..
and im not worried about there is no air...
but ur right with the heat shield gonna customize it soon..
but about the CIA, i need to spend alot more money..n thats something i have to hold on 1st..lolz..

bro, i can see that u're the performance kind of a person.

wait till Hotbits or Speedworks unleash the new saga extractor, then u can put it on, together with custom muffler etc.

and lightened crank pulley, denso iridium brows.gif

.............and go dyno it  thumbup.gif
*
hahah..kinda yeah...love speed..but speed = money.. money is something i have to work hard for. so my car is gonna be like a project for me. slowly mod-ing the car to my own liking.
Yeah bro, have to cut the extractor away n put a bullet on. custom muffs also. but i dun like the idea of a loud sounding muffs.. irritates me when i drive long distance. if im gonna change, im changing 1 with less noise or something. suggestion any1?

OK got my car at 9.30pm just now

1. Glue marks on the screen. The SA say the glue marks is due to umm.. the paper stick on the screen. Car washer should know how to take it off... Well, its night, none is open

2. My back seat right door cannot unlock. Have to pull it up manually to unlock. Sometimes hard to pull up. SA say to make a trip to SC at Jalan 227. The SA looks puzzled about the Pre-Delivery Inspection (PDI). At the same time he can introduce those SC people to me. Well, looks like its weekend for this

3. I think some have experience this. After taken the car. Go for a ride. From time to time, I felt that there is light inside. The light is actually my err.. car inside light on top, the door open one. The faster I drive, the light is more frequent. Stopped at the road side, nothing. Push the door (driver side), light comes out. This goes same to the dashboard warning light on door open. Push a bit, light lits. Now I need to switch of the light in order to drive.

4. Sound. All I hear is ooo-ooo-ooo sound. Not too loud but can be heard inside. Don't know what is the correct sound. This is during idle time. Ask SA, SA shake head, dunno what is it. They say, want to know more, ask SC

5. Plastic cover. Front seat ok, can take the plastic cover off. Back seat hard because the back seat cannot fold down. So have to take as much as possible out. Left a bit, push inside the cushion. This is at the top of the seat.

6. No ABS. Well, first time drive car with no ABS. This time have to press more in order for the brake to engage.

7. Did some drive. Max speed I did was 60km/h... already feel fast. Hahaha... well, different feeling compared to Perdana.

8. That #*$(#$*@ SA went and stick my roadtax. Zzzz.... later I hope the tinting people know how to take it off without breaking it.

9. Petrol - none given by SA. Pumped RM60. Bar full already. Didn't pump full tank. Never did actually.

10. KM on the car before handing the keys to me - 65km. I think it is acceptable because of the trips to SC for PID checking. According to the manager, from proton plant to proton edar, a PID is done. Then when customer confirm to take the car, then another trip to SC for PID.

11. Free Gifts? Hand towel from Insurance. Tinting voucher of RM300 discount for Rhino Cool. It is tint + break safety. Tomorrow he asked me to see him again for a free lock, don't know is it steering or pedal lock, I think steering lock cuz it is cheaper. And if not mistaken, maybe an umbrella

12. One item missing - antenna. SA say to get from him tomorrow because the admin is closed. Wonder why he didn't get it earlier.

Thats all for 2 hours.

Sleep time, tomorrow drive to work.

i got that sticker too..dun worry..the tinting fellow will know how to remove it..neway..happy that u got ur car..maybe can see u on the road somewhere..i work near kelana jaya, near by ur house i think =) enjoy the ride =D
