Although this guarantees a proper fit, they’ll also question you as to why you need that particular part. From the looks of it, your vehicle record will be updated too, indicating that you got these parts for your car as well. Telling them that you “need spares” is typically good enough, but it nonetheless caught us off-guard when we’re used to just buying parts without any sort of interrogation."

I like that they confirm and know my car's history, like how many times I changed engine mounts, O2 sensors, lower control arms... and the likes.... they also take note of parts I've replaced myself with uprated 3rd party parts (like Cold Air Intake, Brakes Rotors, Brake Pads, Shocks, etc)... and they never bother to ask me to change them as per their PM schedule

Some swear by Amaron. I would probably use the same too since my 1.5 would be 2 yrs old too in Aug. There's a store (4-L yata name) in Q.Ave in front of Fisher Mall, beside Classmate. There's also another store in Banawe (Jawe yata name).

When the rear window is fogged up with moisture (in the early morning or raining). I also use it when its raining hard. Dries up the glass faster, especially in sedans where there is no rear wiper.

Any chance getting 3D Maxpider Kagu for M3 here in PH?

Maxliners or Husky mats not available for M3s

Thanks!

WeatherTech has M3specific liners available thru its Ph distributor, Hart Int'l.. Test fit the rears as the US-spec'd ones will leave an inch gap by the rear door sills due to them using a different front belt anchor. If I recall right, try the set for the Mex-built units even if ours are from Jp.
