M5 owner in Toronto (canada) by da1nonly

so far soooooo good... picked up my M5 sport about a week ago... very happy with the purchase... i like the fact that it has all the comforts of a van (for my fam of 3 kids and 2 adults) without the big van look or feel(almost like a beefy hatchback)...
 
here are the specs:
M5 brilliant black sport model, auto, air, tints, door guards, wheel locks, and lifetime rust proofing
 
want to make it a little more agressive looking by adding aftermarket fogs, front lip, maybe eyelids...
 
if there are any fellow canucks in the toronto area that know where i can get these mods done please please please let me know ...
 
thanks...

I too recently purchased an 06 Sport. I opted for the 5speed tranny. I have the 6 disc changer and rear spoiler, but no sunroof or auto temperature. I have had the car for a week and 2 days and I think this was one of the best purchases I ever made. I have always found minivans interesting: Liked the space and flexible seating but never wanted one for a daily driver. I sat in the 5 at a autoshow on Saturday and purchased the following Monday. It's an 06 demo that had 4,000 miles so I was able to get a great deal on it. Power is adequate but you can't beat the seating. I have two 11 year old children and they think it's the best thing since sliced bread. I would recommend this vehicle to anyone.

Noisy front suspension by ghrant

My wife's 2006 Mazda5 GT has been driving me nuts lately. We've racked up about 25,000kms so far. Quite a while back we noticed that there were these dull "thuds" (for lack of a better term) coming from the general front end area as we drove at moderate speeds over generic urban roads. These noises are now very pronounced, constant and utterly distracting. Three times the dealer has looked at it, lubricated things, and it has done nothing to improve it.
The service department seems to get this glazed over look in their eyes when I describe the problem - it is very frustrating.
I took the time to drive in another Mazda5 and notice nothing like these noise.
I am about to escalate this problem up the Mazda Canada flagpole.
Any comments, feedback or futher questions by other owners would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
 
(PS Other than iffy shifts from the automatic it has been a good car)

Has the dealer not offered to replace the control arms? It seems more common that they squeak but a thud is either that or a strut mount.
 
Are you able to try another dealer?

I'm stuck dealing with this dealer for now. That is why I"m posting this to get some ideas and feedback as to what the cause could be so I can put the pressure on the service department. (Simply put, if this is not fixed I will not be buying out the lease at the end - it is that disconcerting.)
 
I believe they replaced the bushings on the control arms, but I don't really have a way to prove this.

It would show on the invoice, warranty or not.

Alarm going off when opening with key by zbx

How come when I open my Mazda5 GT with the key, the alarm goes off? Should I be seeing the dealer about this, or simply always use my key fob to open the door?

If the alarm automatically arms when you lock the car you will need to use the fob. Check your owners manual for instructions on how to change the settings if possible.

ghrant,
I too have noticed these noises ( I descrbe as rubbing or squeeking sound) It happens when the car is driving in below freezing temperature and a slight bump is encountered. Everytime this happens I think I'm driving a car that's falling apart!
 
I'm taking this to the dealer soon

mazda 5 gas consumption by erielle

I think My M5 2007 consumes a lot of gas 18 mpg (city driving)..I need an opinion here ,because before we took the car from the dealer my wife had this huge wordwar with one of the sales manager..so I'm a bit suspicious that they did something with the car..I know it's a crazy idea but 18 mpg! I don't know is it supposed to be 22 mpg?
