For those who have bought their M3's last year, did your dealership required you to sign some waiver docs indicating that you and the dealership will be liable to pay some penalties to LTO if you are caught driving your unregistered unit upon release from casa, or the dealership "forced" you to get the unit from the casa even though the LTO OR/CR documents are not yet ready? Is there some special policy from LTO that allows unregistered units to be taken out from the dealership?

The dealership (Mazda GH) asked me if i wanted to sign a waiver. I didn't sign it though and just waited for the OR/CR. Took around 8-10 working days I think.

The waiver is not a requirement.

And as far as I know, it's still illegal to drive a vehicle without an OR/CR.

That's good to know. I read some stories from the other threads in this forum site that some car dealerships would require the customer to sign the waiver and take out the unit upon full payment. There's actually one car dealership along C5 Pasig that requires their customers to do this because they don't want to keep the purchased units stocked inside their warehouse (probably because they don't have enough space to keep the sold units).

Thanks, polar and Mr. T [emoji4]

So, I'm now a half-Bulakenya... it's fun driving the M3 on the expressway to go to work. My hubby and I registered 15.94 km/L in our last fuel cycle. Our M3 ran 607.7 kilometers -- total of 288 kilometers on NLEX -- using 38.12 liters of fuel [emoji16]

Average speed is 28 km/h.

Grats on both acquisitions.[emoji106]
With your 3 & route, excise on fuel would hardly be felt!
Happy motorin' & ever after!!!

I also got my unit from Greenhills. I was not forced per se but they were not very forthcoming with regards to the waiver, meaning they will not tell you upfront that you can opt to wait for OR/CR. If I was not excited to take home my unit I would have insisted that they keep it in the warehouse. In fact the isn't the law is they cannot release the unit without OR/CR? I wonder if they can really legally waive responsibility with a waiver like that.

Anyway I was too excited for my first ever brand new car so it didn't matter in my case.

I can understand the excitement hehe. I insisted with the dealership that I won't get the unit until its registered at LTO. I guess my risk aversion is stronger than my excitement.

What's the 1st PM sched for the M3? Is it the 1st 1000km or 1st month, whichever comes first?

Whichever comes 1st.

The 1st month PMS can be a problem if in case the OR/CR is not yet available. It wouldn't be reasonable if the unit will be required to undergo the 1st PMS if it's barely used.

Will the countdown for the 1st month PMS start on the day the unit is released to the owner (along with the LTO registration docs), or on the date the unit was delivered to the casa?

Talk to your dealership for extension. 1st PMS is just inspection & tightening. No oil/filter changes.

If you're a relative no problem. Kami kasi nagpagawa ng kalsada to connect yung fields namin imbis dumaan pa sa 4 na barangay sa pag deliver ng goods eh isang straight road nalang para bypass lahat. Ang haba din naging process nun noong panahon pa ni Ramos dirt road lang yan hanggang binili na ng clan namin yung right of way halos naubos pera namin doon pero worthwhile investment din. Muntikan na nga masama yan dati sa road expansion project ng tolex buti di nadamay. Exakto nga yung pag split nya eh makakabwelo ka to 100 sa tplex then slight road split na ayan na road namin.

Haha! Thanks, SE [emoji4] but you're reminding me of the 5 lbs I gained!

Still wanting to reach 16 km/L, though [emoji16]

Agree? (of course )

Good sir Bugsmobile should be the better guide here. Long been an Android convert....iOS contradicts my religion....of sharing.[emoji4]

I thought it was a mzdconnect thing, not an iOS issue. So for android, it can play spotify even if there are no songs installed on the phone?

Travs sir of course your quick SOS kept my sanity.......i thought theirs hope in figuring out, then bugsmobile sir came along and nailed it[emoji2][emoji2][emoji2]

Spotify is working good again..... thanks much all.

This one is definitely a looker on the road.

Never had trouble, haven't really checked, sir. The infotainment isn't my main source of entertainment anyway....driving is.[emoji4]

Thanks again, Mr. T [emoji4]

From my last computation, 1 kilometer costs 3.00 Pesos. You reminded me to take note of the difference, when it comes [emoji16]

May utang pa pala ako. I forgot to post the photos of my vinyl floor mats. The mats are truly helpful keeping dirt/dust in sight and at bay.
