Several days since I followed up... Driving a 3 Performance next couple of days, rented with Turo. And heading to DC...so I'll have the roadtrip/SC experience. And my wife and I test drove a 3 LR last weekend. Biggest surprise: she loved it. Thought it was super fun, and super nice. She...

How is the fit of your car holding up after x months of regular driving? The BMWs are great...my prior one showed some of its 13 years (when I finally sold it), but the interior was still in amazing shape. Do you keep a cloth in the car to get fingerprints off that shiny stuff covering the...

240 miles is a "piece of cake" in a 3 LR? My cousin tells me that his X showed maximum range the day he drove it home, and has been lower since. Is it not recommended to limit charging to something below 100%, and to avoid going to 0% (or close)? Or should I assume that periodically I'd be...

Sounds like 240 mile round trip might be a bit much on LR 3, particularly when variables like temperature come into play. Would 10-12 hours of trickle charge at my destination (this would add 20-40 miles of range, yes?) be enough to make this "work"? Also, what's known about expected life of...

Currently in a '17 M240i with manual transmission, 25k miles. I love the car, but I realize I'm an ideal candidate for a 3. 95% of my driving is in town, with a 15 minute commute to work. I just drove my cousin's X (first time in a Tesla), and was blown away by the build, the handling, the...
