Just had my Midnight Silver M3 (2021 refresh model in Dec 2020) washed and discovered with horror the paint has peeled all along the passenger side Rocker Panel. Are you pleased with what they have done to repair yours? Have they resprayed both sides of your car? If not, are you not concerned...

I've only had my car for 1.5 weeks, but had no issues with regen until yesterday and same this morning - wondered if it had something to do with the new software update as it was updated at this time? Difficult to tell for me as not had the car very long, but yesterday and today certainly no...

No, mine has only one (2021 M3) Unfortunately my right sided camera was faulty on pick up last week and needs replacing. But I am hopeful that this will make a bit of a difference as it’s pretty good on the left side and doesn’t attract too much muck from the road. still - wish there was a...

I live in the rural sticks and trying to reverse tonight in an area with no street lights was way too dangerous. I was quite suprised to discover that the M3 only has one reverse light but wasn't too bothered. However, the brightness of that one lamp seems v poor - the wing mirrors (although...

Picked up mine this morning from Birmingham and overall very pleased. Just a couple of issues - right side camera not working (see image) which I half expected. Service centre said they’d already logged the issue, but couldn’t fix until the part was in - hoping for it to be fixed on a mobile...

I wonder how common camera faults are more generally with Tesla. When I drove a Model S on a test drive in September before deciding on an M3, a rear camera was faulty. Just hope this isn't going to be an ongoing issue with Tesla cameras.

Sorry just re-read, is yours (829xxx) affected? Or are you saying you think it’s just 825-827xxx?

I’m picking up mine next week and is also 829xxx - so fear mine will also be affected too

What’s the first 3 numbers of the Vin (after MF) of the cars with faulty cameras? - presumably these are from the same batch?

I've gone with Churchill (arranged last week) for £428 inc extras like legal assistance (would have otherwise been under £400). Often works out cheaper if you add other people onto the insurance as additional drivers e.g. a partner at same address.

Picking mine up next week - Just received this text from Tesla. Worth remembering that when your insuring the car, that Tesla do not complete the reg until you've picked it up. So if insuring online, you'll need to complete the insurance process without the reg (as it will not be recognised) and...

I reckon it's been on Grand Aurora - just unloaded at Southampton

Just wanted to say a huge thanks to Mr M - I pick up mine next week (been on Grand Aurora) and I must say that I'm quite pleased that Tesla didn't give me tracking options to see where my car was - @Mr Miserable has been far more entertaining! I will come back and use your Octopus referral when...

Just insured mine today (pick up car end of next week). Did quote online and Churchill came out as best price for £428 inc extras for legal cover, loan car (worked out as £60 of extra costs) with £400 excess. Once quote online, phoned them with the registration number and mentioned that the car...

I’ve not picked up my M3 yet, but I was hoping to create shortcuts just using Siri with an Apple Watch. So you could just lift your wrist and command e.g. “open the boot” etc - anyone tried that yet?
