Here, Biante cost $15K more than M5 even thought the OMV is only $1K more. Yes, the price is right. that is why i said it is totally not worth to buy Biante in this high prices in Singapore.. Both our M5 and Biante is direct import from Japan. And in malaysia, the package include 2 more tv monitor for second roll passengers. It is same case that Toyota Singapore want to sales 105 K for Toyota Avanza and in malaysia you can get it RM$ 77K.... ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

In my opinion, Biante is a little boxy and I don't really like the tail lights. Space is the only advantage point that I can think of. I am interested in the M8 but it is way above my budget. My final decision is M5 and I'm enjoying every moment of driving it, till the extend of getting a ticket for overspeeding....HAIZ!!!! cheers to all I also just kena speeding ticket, was coming back from the zoo after the Safari Boo event around 10.45pm, didn't notice that there was a speed trap along Upp Thomson Road and the speed limit was only 70km/h, and I wasn't even travelling that fast, maybe 80-90, when I saw a flash in my rearview mirror...$130 fine plus 4 demerit points, sibei sianz!

I think Mazda needed to price the Biante between the M5 and M8, otherwise it would just cannibalize it's own MPV sales. What i don't understand is how the Biante can be cheaper than the M5, since it is bigger and newer. Maybe the M5 in Malaysia is using a bigger engine?

I thought it was a matter or opting it inside the package with the AD or having it fitted at outside workshop if the AD do not provide the option. I was just informed by my SE that my car will be ready for collection in 2 weeks time. May i know what other things have your done to your car after collection? Yes, HID is illegal if done by anyone other than the AD, not sure about LED though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was travelling on the TPE heading towards PIE and was shot at after the Jalan Kayu exit. Speed captured at 114km/h and this is equal to $150 and 6 demerit points....really faint...

Weewee1976 3rd Gear November 5, 2015 Share November 5, 2015 Fellow Mazda 5 owners, may I know what mapping software is the integrated GPS using? I read from the web that Pioneer headunit uses Papago with an external module attached to the headunit. Another question: is the SD card containing the maps and mapping software easily accessible so that you can update the maps yourself (e.g. MFM)?

It may be easier with a Facebook page as some people may not be comfortable to release their mobile phone numbers to strangers.
