Not sure if it’s a function of the car firmware or the app version - but anyone discovered a way to turn off the “You’re home at 35% - remember to plug in” notification? I’ve paraphrased it as I’ve deleted it. Thanks - can’t find it in the app settings as an option.

Thanks all - the local Tyre Pros swapped it this morning (Kwik Fit group still - just had an earlier slot than the main KF garage locally). The guys there didn’t think it looked safe either, and came across as genuine. Much happier now replaced. With a long Easter family trek ahead of me...

Thanks all - good to do safety checks for Easter trips. With a magnifying glass on it you can just see the glint of a metal chord - maybe some rusty looking stuff too (not totally sure of that). Holding pressure - but not too happy driving at speed on it for any duration. KwikFit say it’s an...

I was doing a tyre safety check on my M3 before a 200 mile drive at Easter - and found this on one of my six month old CrossClimate 2s: What do you think? Needs replacing or cosmetic? No idea of the cause of the crack - nothing on other tyres. Will run it by KwikFit later - but I understand...

+1 for setting a scheduled charge time during the standard IO window. Sometimes it can be at a time when IO doesn’t want to charge…but the charge limit on you car governs the endpoint of the charge - so no issue - HTHs

Thanks for the help guys. I want to buy my car at the end of the lease - so am keen to look after it. Your mention of replacement being a faff and wraps Durzel led me to try and find a clear wrap that went under around the full depth of the handle but I could only find ones that covered an 1/8...

Guys, A bit of chrome has come off the underside of the front passenger door handle on my December 2019 M3 tonight. Reports are, with the sun zero temps, it was sticky to open this morning - even after 20m of preheating. The other handles feel fine. The affected one has a seam underneath...

Do the cars gracefully give you a warning when the battery is on its way out, and time to replace?

> brakes pads/discs Anyone a feel/experience for when an M3 is likely to need these replaced given regen? Mine’s a 2019 on 42k - just past an MOT with no brake observations — and the thread sparked the question in my head (as I’d like to buy it off the lease company in the middle of next year...

Thanks George - that would match our experience. Other-half had to go out and stand by car to get it online - and our area isn’t the greatest mobile signal wise. First time it’s happened (2023.38.6 here last week or two IIRC)

Similar defrost issue here this morning at 0730 - M3 - assumed servers glitchy - car should’ve been on WiFi although can’t be sure.

Had mine done for the second time by a local Kwik Fit yesterday. I just gave it to them this year without a printout of jackpoints as I did last year when they said they have EV training to handle. Just created a service profile so my seat settings weren’t messed up, unset pin-to-drive, and...

My new CC2’s looked to provide more rim cover than the old Pilot Sports. Did they fit the spec/width there?! That does look odd compared to mine from memory

Many thanks for the help/advice
