Yeah, I thought maybe it's something to do with the home wifi - that's pretty much the end of the reach and I have terrible cellular coverage on my street. But I believe it happens everywhere. It starts up, then when i get ready to drive, it pauses.

Hi all, Please excuse the thread title - iOS spell check. I have been used to my M3P starting to play music when I open any of the doors, which is great. The problem I have is when I actually start backing out of the garage or a parking spot, the audio system pauses and I need to hit the...

The Echo Auto had a few hiccups at first, but now works flawlessly for Sirius/XM voice control. One of the best purchases I ever made.

Which lights did you order? I've seen some were not bright enough, but these look great.

I'm glad I didn't do a chrome delete on my white M3P. Every pic of one with the chrome delete looks chintzy to me. I agree... "base model." I feel like this murdered out obsession has gone too far on a lot of cars. Chrome delete looks great on darker colors, but looks terrible to me on...

I have it, but only see it when i open the trunk, and it's small. I just laid a strip of clear xpel and stopped worrying about it. I'm much more concerned about door dings and such, and the cruddy orange peel/bad pearl paint job, but it looks nice enough when waxed.

I say enjoy it for what it is, without studying up for it. It was awesome trying to absorb all. Find somewhere with some nice curves to push through, and above all, find a place to stomp the accelerator while test driving the Perf. There's nothing like it. I didn't think my wife would care...

Love that color.

I'd take one about half the size - like an iPad mini. That would be great, and I don't think it would really block the air vents.

You should be. It's phenomenal, isn't it?

Let's see that update!

I agree on chrome with this look too. I think chrome delete looks good on other colors, but not so much on pearl white. 35% is just fine, but I wanted it to a level where you really couldn't see through the side windows unless it was mid-day sun - matches better with the dark wheels and the...

Thanks. Windshield is 50%. Sides are 15%. Top and rear glass are 5%. Overall, I think it looks great - really like the sides and windshield percentage. If I had to do it over again, I'd probably do 15% on the roof and rear glass - too hard to see out the back at night and you lose much of...

I'm personally loving those louvers that don't go all the way across the back window... so you block out all the light, except for some of the light. 60% of the time, it works every time!

Anything like this is good. You want a low-gloss detailer/protectant. You're basically just cleaning it. UV probably isn't much of an issue, especially if you've tinted all your windows. I've used the Meguiar's "Natural Shine." It's not expensive and it worked well.

So sorry for your troubles. I wish I knew what to advise. It's a very common occurrence, which is one of the reasons I always park the cars in the garage. Others in my neighborhood who park outside have had rats in their cars. Last year I had a dead rat in my Infiniti. I think I got it when...

I personally love the looks and the solid feel of driving an Audi. I'd driven a friend's 2017 S6, and although it was fast, it felt somewhat disconnected to me... more of a cruiser. My wife and I had also had an extreme amount of mechanical trouble with our Q5, but we decided to check out an...

There's been a lot of misinformation about eBikes and those who ride them, particularly e-MTB's. These bikes aren't tearing up the trails like MX bikes and they're not being ridden by a bunch of newbies - that may be the case with e-road bikes or casual e-bikes for use on paved paths. The vast...

Thanks for the info. I had heard it wasn't quite the right fit. Glad they revised it.

Which Curt hitch do you have installed? Was it a DIY and did you have any fitment issues?

Awesome, thanks! Any fitment issue or was it an easy install?

I really like the chrome delete on yours, and the subtble front lip. Which lip is that?

Took the first two were at Malibu Point and the second one was taken along the Kern River. There hasn’t been much else to do but drive for a while.

It’s 80. This car drives so well at 80. I figure it’s somewhat of a drop in mileage, but you get somewhere quicker and it’s enjoyable.

The Model 3 will be much more sporty to drive than the Audi. I cross-shopped the current SQ5, S6 and S5, and all of them were very nice with a posh interior (the only thing I really miss) and a nice sounding exhaust (albeit artificial), but none of them compared to the drive of the 3...

Yeah, so did I. o_O Thanks, turns2stone. Looks good enough for me. That's what I'm ordering.

I see three different colors suggested for our wheels and they all look slightly different. Can anyone supply a picture of the touch-up job they did with their paint?

My wife gets the SUV. I get the sport sedan. I've loved them since the Maxima came out decades ago. There have been so many gorgeous looking German uber-sedans, and now there's the coupe-like sedans like the Audi A/S/RS5 and Kia Stinger. The form is just so much sexier than an SUV, CUV or...

Thank you! Now I no longer need AM radio. :)

I have a 2020 which I took delivery on in mid-Dec. I haven't previously seen anything indicating auto-dimming was ever taken away. I had to open up the mirror assemblies and disconnect the electric supply for the dimming function, and when i did, it became easier to see out of them at night.

Belladonna b/c she is beautiful and seductive. If only it had a tailpipe. :D

That's one thing I wish they had done, like the hatch on an Audi A5/S5 or a Kia Stinger. But given that's not an option on the 3, I'm living without it.

I have 5% on back and top glass, 20% on sides and 50% on windshield. It all looks fantastic. No issues seeing out of the front at all or the sides for the most part. However, I do have a real problem with the blind spot on the passenger side. The blind spot is bad as it is with the high...

I find this extremely annoying. I tried many times to adjust, but it hasn't worked. Unless I move to England or Japan, I have no reason whatsoever to drop the driver's side mirror in reverse, and this combined with a high rear deck makes it harder to back out. The screen doesn't compensate...

I didn't think I was a fan of purple cars or matte finishes, but damn, that thing looks awesome. Well done. It looks great.

There’s a great Motor Trend article which details how much of a dangerous mess Track Mode originally was, and how much work went into getting it functional and controllable. Turning off all the nannies in these things seems an excellent way to wreck your car in a most remarkable way.

2011 Infiniti G37 AWD to Model 3 Perf. The Infiniti was bulletproof - literally zero repairs after 70K miles. However, the AWD model wasn’t as engaging handling-wise and the engine/trans occasionally had some serious lag. The car looked really dated. Now I feel like I have a 4-door...

I picked it up on 12/10. So basically 4 weeks.

I got mine on Friday. Somehow, only the rear plate wound up on the car. :D it was nice to get the registration so quickly be able to submit the SoCal Edison and State of CVRP rebate requests.

Hey, congrats! And it appears you got it before the door closed on the Federal tax credit. Enjoy, and let’s see some pics!

Awesome looking wheels.

I normally am not crazy about matte finishes, but that fantastic looking.

IMO, this is a TERRIBLE car for kids. My 6 and 10 year olds are constantly telling me, "Go fast!" I'm sure i'll get numerous speeding tickets with them in the back seat. Aside from that, it's fine. They fit without any issues. The only real problem is not having a wifi router built in for...

The car i leaned to drive was a stick and owned a 6MT G35 a few years back. I was bent on getting an Audi S5 or a Genesis G70 3.3T. Both were great to drive, but one test drive of the M3P and it was over. I ordered mine the same day. The acceleration is downright brutal. I’ve never driven...

That’s terrible. Sorry. At least it’s still this year so you get the tax break. Think of it as the best Christmas present you could possibly imagine! Hang in there.

Thanks, Ronnie! I'm crossing my fingers for you - gotta figure they're probably done producing for everywhere but West Coast at this point. And they know which state butters their bread.

A beauty! I recognize the hills in your photo - looks like off the 14. I'm also in Valencia.

we’ll figure it out! :)

Thanks so much. It did come with a front plate holder in the trunk, but there’s one I want on Amazon that clips into the grill space between bottom of the front bumper and the lower lip.

Took delivery last night. Unbelievable to drive. The guy who introduced me to my car said there are 1,500 of them coming into the city this weekend. They’re coming! Here are a couple pics - best I could do in poor light.
