Other than Europas, here are cheap 1s....


On car care products, here's a good guide:

Or PM the OC Mown3r Detailer & fellow tsikoteer justdiy....He'll guide you well.

Just backread the thread. Congrats to all new owners!! Just in time, Merry Christmas!!

To sir who's looking for car care products. I highly recommend you buy Microtex washmitt, shampoo and elite for drying (if you're going to clean it yourself). These are all exterior products.

For the interior, you'd want to spend a lil for Meguiars Quik Interior Detailer. This will clean without leaving shiny finish. If you want shine, they have the Meguiars Natural Shine Protectant. Or if willing to have the best, 303 aerospace protectant is your best bet.

Not in anyway affiliated with brands above, just big fan of those products.

Arrrgggh. Seems like my agent is sitting on his a** in getting my unit. And after I rushed to get the P.O. to him. Was hoping to get it before Christmas....or by the 26th at least.

Oh well...gotta keep repeating....

"Good things come to those who wait".

Haha. Tama pala kutob ko. I think taga-Batangas ka din yata, if I remember correctly yung nabanggit ni Kristel that time. Sa may isang nayon ng Sto. Tomas lang ako.

Nice to meet you here sa forums! Hahaha. Small world.

Ako nga yun sir Suketchi! Ahaha. Clarify nyo na lang po ulit sa Sta Rosa regarding the warranties at yung free car wash sa PMS. Pero sabi po kasi talaga ni Ms. Kristel meron pong free car wash

On a totally different note, medyo marami-rami na rin ako nakikitang M3 sa Manila at pati sa province (Batangas). At super in demand pa rin sila sa mga dealership. Ubusan pa rin. Ahaha

A while ago nagtanong Dad ko if di daw ako nalalakihan sa M3 ko at kung di daw ako nahihirapan idrive. Well Dad, my M3 is a bliss to drive! Regarding sa size. Well ok naman mukha ako nakaSUV sa M3 ko. lol

Normally, you'd want to avoid the free car wash of dealers. They don't do it very well and usually leaves swirl marks.

My thoughts too. On a more extreme case, I never let anyone else wash my zoom-zoom, that way I'm never paranoid the velvety paint finish would be ruined.
Nobody touches my preciouusss...
No mods as well, it's just plain old stock goodness :praning:
I believe the clinical term for this is stage 1 hobo-titis.
Though I have Trav's plate relocator, it is yet to be installed for fear that it might open a can of worms and release the mod bug that will lead to sudden unintended mutation

But to each their own, we all have our own ways of enjoying our zoom-zooms.

Well halos lahat naman po ng car wash ganun. I have some black streaks on my M3. After 3 car wash on 3 different auto detailers (take note, nireresearch ko pa talaga if maganda yung car wash nila or not), nadun pa rin sila. I had to do it myself. I guess they don't make sure that the car is spotless unless siguro magpaoptiguard ka or something. Yung iba pa nga po di tinutuyo ng maayos. Anyway, sayang din yun free car wash. Matanggal man lang yung dumi ng kotse getting to the dealer for the PMS. Tipid tubig at car shampoo na rin. Ahahaha

Exactly same here....I'd rather have a dirty car than to have some stranger touch, add swirls & do stuff I might have to undo later. I wish we could clone OC Mown3r detailers like our brothah, justdiy... & get every corner carwash have 1.

On deflorations...Though it's true that the 1st always breaks succeeding resistance, it's unlikely about the fear of opening that can of worms..I see you're taking it easy & your sweet time....The M3 is much like good wine, it's best sipped & savored than gulped.

Again, I suggest you guys PM or ring fellow Mown3r, justdiy(+63917 737 2958) of TECHNICAL DETAILS™. He's worth the call. M3 wash & detailing w/ a sense of ownership is such a rare commodity.

*I'm in no way connected nor affiliated w/ justdiy & TECHNICAL DETAILS™....just a believer in the guy.... the passion, dedication, & effort put in every car touched is evident always.

Yup! Best car wash is done by the car's owner. Hehe. With TLC pa!

Be mindful of these services from some shops or dealers. Like what Sir Travs said, better to keep the car dirty than having a "pwede na" wash. It will be an expensive fix in the future.

Nandito kayo sa Petron Marilao ngaun? 😀

Yup, nandoon kami kanina, doing upgrading of firmware and installing the video player app. Medyo madami-daming 2 ang nakita namin doon. Might be one of those is you...

How many joined, testa brah?

How many joined, testa brah?

11 cars brah. The 2.0 variants who joined the update EB now have video player. Seeing them happy while playing a demo video is priceless

Luckily, modfath3r's car, which is a 1.5, was able to play videos now. Thanks to Ryan Espedido for doing it as he's the only one in the group who knows the workaround in installing the video player app on 1.5 units.

Almost all cars who joined were updated to the latest firmware version. There are others who I wasn't able to update due to different parking slots. Petron NLEX was very full last night!
