AnytiM3, sir!
Don't get just yet....Yojin covers filter swaps.

I normally change my cabin filters every 3 months to all my cars. 6 months is too long for me..

2 weeks na lang im really excited for my unit. Wala nako ginawa kundi mag browse dito sa forum pag walang pasyente sa clinic pati mga videos sa youtube paulit ulit kong pinapanood.

Btw looking at those mz3s that travajante posted, those htech spring really makes this already ***y car ***iest!! I want one too but too scared to void the warranty hayy..

Do you guys revert to stock height when going for PMS? just curious

The black Mz3 hatch you see in the pic already logged 35k, as far as i know he hasn't swapped coilies to stock whenever he's due for pms. Mine will be due for 1yr pms (9k odo), probably i won't revert to stock springs too. Soul red naman tapos na 1yr pms after nya pinainstall yung htechs. I doubt kung ibabalik din niya to stock pwera na lang siguro kung may prob suspension nya. AFAIK, si Travs di pa rin nagrevert to stock springs, almost a year na yata yung Eibach prokit nya.

Experience gains you knowledge & courage. With it, seemingly risky challenges usually end up familiar chores.
Mods will technically void warranties on damages they directly cause. If you get a lean or rich code, they should not refuse you using the springs as reason. That'll sound as absurd as SUA being caused by frequent carwashes.:D
Yojin covers us 3years or 60k kms. After a year & a half of driving mine, I can confidently say our M3's suspension, depending on abuse, can very well go beyond either. And....it's not even difficult to refresh should something go wrong. Heck, we even DIY more difficult makes/models.
The reviews being handed out by Mown3rs saying these ride like stock aren't just based on feel nor perception.
To know why, let's get technical on the HTechs....
Stock springs are linear rated, so are HTechs(same compression rate across suspension travel).
Stock fronts: 25N/mm
HTech fronts: 26.5N/mm
Stock rears: 30N/mm
HTech rears: 31.4N/mm
Among the M3 springkits available out there, these are closest to stock. Almost identical, even. Hence, there isn't any felt change in ride comfort & quality.
The drop is conservative at just 30mm front & 35mm rear. This slight lowering of the car's center of gravity reduces body roll, enhances drive w/ better cornering, stability & brake feel. To maintain suspension travel & not increase the risk of premature damper deterioration, bumpstops are shortened.
If it's for the above reasons you're getting springs, the HTechs are it. If 1 wants to drastically tune suspension for track, a good set of adjustable coilovers should get him there.
If there are risks, these are calculated. But as you can see, the rewards far outweigh them.
So there...your choices...Now or after Yojin. Some seize the day, some exercise patience...Fear resides nowhere but the mind, doc.
Happy Mown3rship, all!!!

linear pala ang tein high tech, i assumed progressive springs din similar to the s tech, or perhaps it varies from one car application to another? if progressive then rating nila would be the max, ibig sabihin mas malambot sa stock under light loads.

if it is indeed linear, then swak na swak nga yun rates, good as stock nga yan

Yup, M3 HTech is linear & very close to stock rates. Dug into this prior to sourcing & sharing amongst brothahs. The springrates & actual ride/drive comparisons do coincide.
Tein doesn't offer the STech variant for the 3.

Cool, magkano bentahan ngayon dito sa pinas?

So htech it is then but after my 6 month pms na lang.
Layo ko kasi im from region 2 and the nearest casa is about 300+ kms away from here (cabanatuan city) and 480 kms to manila. So when i get my unit in greenhills ill try to reach 900 km in 1 week para deretso 1k pms na bago ko iuwi sa amin

Thanks sir travs ill keep that in mind. Im not into track, (although i enjoyed karting) i just love driving cars especially ones that feel connected to the driver. Its like being part of your body that you can voluntarily control.

Although feedback about the handling is already superb even without the htechs, i like how it makes the car standout with just minimal drop and without compromising ride quality. ☺

I asked the same question from the GH dealership before - fully synthetic daw. I hope the many happy Mown3rs here can verify

In the tropics, strictly 5w-30 as SkyActiv requires water thin consistency to keep friction at a minimum. 0w-20 for temperate regions. Obviously, these weights are commonly EUROblend full synthetics. MazdaPH & Yojin use Shell Helix Ultra 5w-30.

In america they use mazda moly (molybdenum) 0w20 ILSAC GF5 fully synthetic.

Yup, as I shared, 5w-30 fully synthetic(Euroblend over US) is suitable for the tropics, 0w-20 Mazda Moly by Idemitsu or Castrol Edge for temperate regions

Have u check the dipstick before pms? Any oil consumption?

I check regularly. Level never drops between oil changes, sparcom sir.
