    Fat steering wheel hurts my hands

    I definitely do not grip it tightly, as the warning comes on frequently to take control of my wheel. I tend to hold it with one hand only, and I’m used to holding it with my right hand at the 4:30 position but the M3 only has 3:00 & 6:00 positions. So it’s probably a combo of issues. But my...

    Fat steering wheel hurts my hands

    As a Hand Surgeon, I’m very sensitive to how things feel. My M3 has a much fatter steering wheel than my other 2 ICE cars, leaving my fingers more sore after a day of commuting. Anyone have this experience? How hard is it to change it to a thinner one?

    Model 3 battery range

    My LR is only a month old. I just charged to 100% at home today for a longer trip and only got 306 miles. (I usually only charge to 80-90%.) It’s cold (High 20s F) so I was wondering if that changes the “estimated” range that’s projected.

    Teach me how to charge!

    Yes, faulty cable. New one works great.

    Teach me how to charge!

    Yes. It turned out it was a faulty cable that they switched out. Now it works. Just doing the minimum, as stated in previous responses. I’m no longer holding the button for long.

    It works now, but I’ll try skipping all the button pushing tomorrow. Thanks.

    Teach me how to charge!

    Thanks. I did that with the first cord and got error message inside stating equipment failure. I’m mad this service guy gave me bum advice. I guess it’s a new dealership and employees.

    Teach me how to charge!

    I’ve had my M3 for a week (delivered to my house when I was away so I never got a dealer run through) and all the videos just show plugging it in. That didn’t work. I called and they sent a service guy out who said my cable was broken and switched it out. Then he said I have to squeeze the...

    Should dealer provide new License plates at time of delivery?

    You Thanks! The Warwick store has just received (in the past 2 weeks) their lease license and they’ve NEVER taken delivery of an ordered car yet (mine would be the first). I ended up deciding not to lease but they said I can’t buy in MA because of tax reasons. Crazy.

    Should dealer provide new License plates at time of delivery?

    Hoping to pick up my new M3 at a relatively new dealership... they say it’ll come with temporary tags (and I’ll have to run to DMV later). All my other cars that I’ve purchased in RI have a dealer runner go to DMV so the plates are all at pickup. What has your experience been with plates at pickup?

    No VINs in October?

    I got a text saying that I should schedule delivery of my M3 LR AWD blue/black 18”. ordered 10/17, VIN 2 weeks later. Text for delivery at exactly 3 weeks (11/8). They estimate 11/21 delivery to Warwick,RI. Anyone picking up at Paramus,NJ? It’s not my car’s final destination but trying to...

    No VINs in October?

    My VIN still doesn’t show up online. My SA found it for me 2 weeks after my order. Ask your SA.

    No VINs in October?

    I ordered M3 LR/AWD Blue/Black 18” on 10/17 and got a VIN 2 weeks later. Just got email from the Vegas delivery specialist to confirm pick up spot (Paramus, NJ). Anyone have a guess as to when actual delivery may be, in your experience?
