    What to do with my Model X if I need to travel to another country for 8 months?

    Thank you for the write up on best way to leave your car unattended and undriven for longer periods of time. I have a quick question for you or any of the other readers. So, leaving the car plugged into the wall charger, will the charger automatically start charging again (up to whatever level...

    Significant Battery Drain After Update to 2023.12.5

    Since this is a tread about unexpected (or is it unwanted?) battery drain I thought I would share my experience earlier today with all the experts here and see what suggestions folks have. Honestly, I truly love driving my 2020 M3, but this random draining of the battery for no apparent reason...

    Poll: How many are still using original 12V Battery that came with the car?

    My M3 is a 2020 which I only recently bought with about 26k miles. I started to receive notices about the 12v battery needing replacement, and whenever the car was sitting idle in my garage and not driven for a few days it would really lose a large number of miles in the range shown. Following...

    Automatic Navigation and Easy Entry

    Ahh. With the help of this thread I have finally figured out why my Easy Entry doesn't automatically work when I park the car and undo my seat belt. Why? Because I'm not actually unfastening the seat belt since I am using one of those 8-10" extensions which I find makes it much easier for me...

    Anyone have experience with the Tesmanian vs RPM abs spoilers?

    Thank you LBM4. Your points have been well stated and I understand now. Since I posted my question I found other comments that suggest many don't like the "painted" spoilers that match the paint color of the car, which I guess is much more typical of spoilers that come on many different cars...

    Anyone have experience with the Tesmanian vs RPM abs spoilers?

    I came to this thread looking for other owners opinion toward the "adding" of a spoiler to their M3's. Seems like so many people are in love with just about any accessory that's Carbon Fiber, and I'm sorry, I just don't get it. For myself, I would prefer a spoiler that is painted to match the...

    Dirt Accumulation/Water Spots Where Trunk Meets Rear Bumper

    Wondering if anyone else has noticed a greater (and really bad looking) accumulation of road dirt and water stains at the point where the rear trunk lid closes on top of the rear bumper. We've had a rainy week so I plan on washing my car tomorrow, but I noticed at in the aforementioned spot...

    Ceramic Coating - Yes or No

    I agree 100% with both the comments about using the clay bar. Pre-prep, i.e. making sure that the car has been thoroughly washed B4 claying is very important, and then I will always use a brand new clay bar which should never touch any surface other than the paint surface itself. My "wetting"...

    Ceramic Coating - Yes or No

    So, like one of the earlier posters I am definitely not a fan of spending 3-4 hours each time I want to make my car shine like new again. However, I do enjoy washing my car and my wheels, and since I believe most people here on this forum also wash their cars much more than they detail them, I...

    Inspection Before 4-year Warranty Expires

    I recently purchased a 2020 with 28k miles. What is the easiest way for me to determine exactly when the 4 yr Bumper to Bumper Warantee will expire?

    Replace stained white seat back?

    So, I have used SEM Color Coat before in my Lexus and if you prep the seats very well before applying, it has lasted well over a year without any evidence of cracking or peeling. Asking ambrown307, have you actually used the SEM 15313 white and it matches the white seats exactly, or fairly...

    Range Loss Over Time, What Can Be Expected, Efficiency, How to Maintain Battery Health

    Hello. Have had my 2020 M3 for a week now and I am trying to wrap my head around the acceptable way to charge my car. Probably not going to drive the car every day, nor likely drive over 60 miles when I do. So, for this kind of use, I am thinking that I will charge the car to around 70-75%...
