I have a 2019 M3 Performance. a few months ago I did a run in Track Mode, which does a lot of battery conditioning, etc. Ever since, whenever I start the car, and usually for quite a while if not the whole drive, the conditioning fans and the liquid coolant pump run continuously, with fan sounds...

i hit a pothole a year ago and blew out both drivers side wheels and rims. Hit a pothole last night and blew out the passenger side wheels and rims. These 20" wheels are not designed for city streets; they're only good for the track. Looking for some tires that will withstand more shock...

I've polled my fellow M3 drivers: the new UI update is horrible! The loss of functional grouping (all music under one icon), the loss of the cards for easy access to special information, and it takes like 5 searches to find out how to play music from my phone.. the little colored icons...

That's awesome... but is your car the Performance or the Long Range?

OK i get the humor "Ar Ar"... I taped up the windows to verify that that is where the sound was coming from. THEN I took the tape off, and now I am looking for a window seal kit that will have the same effect.

So I use miles per percent, because its easier to track what my range is supposed to be. I can't translate Wh/mile to range. I would really like to hear what effective range per percent battery usage people are getting with their M3 Performance, because I'm getting way below what was advertised.

WHAT ABOUT LEAFBLOWERS, TOO?!?!?

I'd love to hear what you get in terms of miles/%battery for a day of normal driving. See my reply to the original post on this thread. My performance has never got more than 2.5 miles per percent, which equals 250 miles range, even when driving in total chill mode with no a/c or heat or any...

Wow. I have a 2019 M3 Performance. Could you tell me, if you drive X miles, and consume X% of your battery, what on average do you get in terms of Miles/% battery usage? I get on average 1.5 to 2.5, where the advertised rate is 3. (300 miles per 100% charge). And this is with no heat or...

Thanks.. the 315 range was quoted back in August 2019 when I bought it... the quoted range has gone down a few times to the current 299. And I would be thrilled to get 299. Like I said the best I ever got, once in the almost year I've had it, was 270 miles equivalent. More typical, when...

I'm envious of the range stories here. I've had my M3 Performance for about 10 months. When i bought it Tesla was selling the Performance as having 315 miles range. I have carefully documented my actual range vs the displayed range, and done every possible thing I can do to boost range and...

Yeah just having the option to turn it on and off would be great, having it come on below a certain speed would be cool too.

So driving in TrackMode is going to put wear and tear on the AC compressor I guess. Right?

Yes that's what I do.. but the thing is with BEV's the mass and inertia is so high that you really go far coasting. If its a flat road you really don't start to slow down for quite a while. Its really fun! It worked a lot better in the RAV4EV which had a shifter and you could shift from no...

What is the noise when I use Track Mode? There is a whine from the front of the car when I put it in Track Mode... Anyone know what that is?
