Front mud flaps are fitted with the extension parts in the boot.

I find the 3’s turning circle to be quite poor

The new model is the one without the tyre. If you look where the spokes meet the centre hub, you can see the spokes are more angular whereas the old model (with tyre) is slightly curved.

Yes slightly more angular spokes on the newer wheel.

Yep. Tick any single one of the options and the M3 RWD is a £50k car. That is a long way from the £40k it was a few months ago and to me, is another step up in affordability (or willing to pay).

I heard a saying “too many Bentley cars with Skoda money” (it was a long time ago because Skoda’s make good cars now!)

Wasn’t this always the case? 330 or so with the upgrades wheels.

I think the 2019 SR+ was as low as £37990 at one point in 2019. That was in black and no Auto Pilot?

Yep price rises have just hit the UK overnight. It seems a £2.5 k rise for the M3 RWD, £2.5k for M3 LR / £2k for MY LR and £1.5k for the M3P / £3k MYP

Yes a slower one 😂

The filters you can do yourself if you follow the videos posted on YouTube. They can be purchased from the Tesla website. Any garage should be able to remove and clean the brake pads & pins and check your brake fluid. Just remember to take your jack pucks in case the garage doesn’t have their own.

Instavolt would be a good shout.

The car is also heavier once fully charged and goes faster on Tesla supercharger vpower juice.

Previous posts seem to point to this one. https://www.ssdd-motorsport.com/tesla-model-3-genuine-matte-carbon-fibre-boot-lip-spoiler-v2-slim-line/

Can you not put the registration on the MY or is the plate car specific eg BMW 123 Otherwise I’ll suggest somewhere like eBay if it’s not particularly valuable.

I wouldn’t worry about it. How many people on here got themselves worked up about a few dings / chips here and there (me included) only to trade it in and buy an upgraded M3 or switched to a MY. The buyer, in my case Arnold Clarke via Motorway, just gave the whole car a 2 second glance and did...

Yes it’s noisy with acoustic tyres and noisy in ICE cars with non acoustic tyres. No experience with a Tesla with non-acoustic tyres. But either way, it’s noisy!

It’s out of courtesy, especially since it’s free to purchase the Road fund license, that whoever you’re buying from will do this for you. I even did this for a private buyer when I sold my first EV. Yes there are a lot of reviews that buying a used inventory car will arrive unvalet and not...

YouTuber Matt Armstrong will fix that in a jiffy and throw in a louder exhaust pipe for good measure!

White was a £2k option in 2019 and early 2020 IIRC. It was the premium option as it’s multi coat. The black was a free colour as it was a solid black, just like today.

Before anyone starts cutting and splicing cables to add subs and extra missing speakers, is it worth replacing the existing speakers? I know from other manufacturers, they use very cheap paper cone type speakers and swapping them over to even the cheapos in Halfords or Argos would make a...

And what’s the source music? Vinyls, CDs, online streaming?

Yes I used to have my bass quite high eg 5 but watched a recent YouTube video which shows that you need it mostly flat with a little lift in treble to be close to what the Producer intended. I must admit, this has helped massively. And thinking about it logic, if you have lots of bass then all...

Can I sign up to Tidal for the free trial, download songs onto the M3 HDD and continue listening after the free trial has expired?

I think for £/$3,000 most people would opt for the LR. It seems to me and I could be wrong that in the UK, the M3 LR is the highest selling version even though it costs £8k ish more than a SR+/RWD

Electrics (it’s all intertwined) if you’re replacing the sub. Interior trim & rattles.

And Naturally, any change you make affects the warranty.

The thread title should be cabin filter not air filter. I bought the Blue Print cabin filters from eBay. They were around £10 for the two parts but they weighed around one third less than the OEM suggesting you won’t get the same filtration as the original fitment. I think in future, I will...

Thanks good suggestion. Will try that.

Yes in this warmer weather, I’ve been getting around 210-220wh/mile at 70mph

They’re 7kwh. On my SR+, this adds around 32mph. Have you checked that you’ve manually increased the amp rate on your phone’s app?

I’ve threatened my wife that I’d buy another set of wheels to fit each time she drives the car (which isn’t often).

And amplifier I believe

They’re not new colours, just different shades of what we have already! What about yellow, green, orange, purple etc.

Are we seeing trade in values differing for different coloured cars eg red which is still quite rare?

Agreed. The manhole cover is only 2 or 3 can higher. The front bumper has more than that ground clearance unless the parking slot is on a slope. Besides a lease company isn’t Going to get on their hands and knees to inspect scrapes under the bumper unless it’s visible when standing next to the car.

It’s probably a bit like the movie Elf, where they all cheer at the prospect of a new Christmas/ quarter

Back in Sep-21, I sold my SR+ which was a Jul-19 vehicle, black/black for £37.4k via Motorway. It had 11k miles. That was before the fuel shortage. I’m sure it would have gone for more in the weeks that followed.

M3 SR+ 2019 - 222 M3 SR+ Q4 2021 LFP 60kwh - 271

And that 30k is actually a $30k and not £30k. The US prices pretty much mirror our UK prices as we pay more VAT and import duties.

I had a 2019 black M3. It was beautiful when gleaming and from 10ft away but the paintwork quality was so inconsistent up close. I know the white is now free and very common but I’d take that every time. Back in 2019, the white was a £2k option. you know the saying “once you go black you never...

He/She meant the Model 3 and not the Y.

Sometimes car parks have a no return policy of say 2 hours.

Some people spec a Porsche with £20k worth of options on a £80k car. So you’d probably want cover for the £100k? They might tick the 21” wheel option which makes the car more attractive to steal, putting the vehicle into a higher risk category?

I was looking to fit a spoiler on mine, like on the M3P but when I checked an insurance quote via TopCashback (a comparison site), the quotation went up from £450 to £650 so no thanks. Also noted on there that Tinted windows are also a modification that they like to be informed about too. And...

My iPhone 12 gets hot and a slow charge. I only dock it when I need to as it kills your phone battery. Maybe use the USB socket + cable.

The US ones on eBay wouldn’t work on a UK RHD car? The driver’s window switches are different.

Is that a SEG export tariff with Octopus or any other supplier?

There are no door pockets on a 2018 Model S

Surely you charge them extra for the electricity used? There are apps available to show how much electricity was consumed eg EV.energy
