    Crack in a CrossClimate 2

    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...

    Bit of chrome came off passenger door handle

    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...

    LHS wing mirror sticks folded every so often

    Guys, My 2019 M3’s LHS wing mirror sticks in every so often in the morning. A fold/unfold fixes it. 1-2 times a month right now. Any idea if it’s a Ranger job or just something that happens? Frequency/fix means I’m not too bothered - but wonder if it’s the start of a component failure curve -...

    Offside rear click on acceleration/deceleration transition

    Guys, Driving about with the window open today I noticed almost every time I transitioned between acceleration and deceleration (either way) I got a click from the right rear. Do others notice the same/is it normal or a problem brewing? Thanks

    Light vegetation scratches on near side

    Guys, I’ve a few light scratches through the clear coat from country lanes on my blue M3. They’re annoying, but only noticeable if you clean it (solution: leave it dirty!). Is T-cut/Autoglym the way to go - or Revive/Chipsaway? I could only find threads on the latter (and how Chipsaway didn’t...

    Anyone had to recharge the aircon yet?

    Guys, My Dec 2019 M3 doesn’t seem as fast to cool. Used to be instant - now it seems hard to encourage to get going on Auto. I seem to have to set the temp lower too. Does it in the end ultimately. I was thinking “another SW update stuff-up’ - but it might be a more conventional recharge is...

    Off to Kwik-Fit…

    Guys, I updated the car’s firmware earlier today to x.36.5.5 - then noticed this. It wasn’t in the release notes and a hard reboot hasn’t cleared it: Nice. It sounds like it’s wearing tap-shoes or something. Dumbarse double-check I’m doing everything right here: first time tyre replacement...

    Local Carbon Intensity Forecast (a 'when to charge' iOS Widget)

    Guys, Exploring the installation of solar to make my CO2 footprint less - I've been realising I can't fit enough to justify it (my urban semi has poncy dormers etc). So - thinking about the interesting carbon intensity forecast API VanillaAir pointed at recently - and the UK electricity...

    Pre-conditioning/warming the car for the school run

    Guys, Testing my thinking by you all/stating it for new owners who might need a pointer as the seasons turn: To prep the car for my other-half doing the school run, I’d like to warm the cabin up. Also - I would like to warm the batteries (at least a bit) for semi-consistent regen-braking at...

    Charging option at high SOC

    Guys, Apologies if a newbie or RTFM question. M3: I have a long trip today - I charged to 97% yesterday - it’s now 95% - I planned to top up 5% then go - but I’m being given no ‘Charge now’ option on the app or dash. Just Unlock Charge Port/Xharging Complete. Limit is set to 100% (Strategy...

    Car park door bash: how much to fix, or LeasePlan return penalty?

    Guys, Some /person/ did this to my car today, leaving some nice finger marks showing they knew exactly what they’d done. I waited for them, they turned up, we opened their door - and the strike point clearly matched. It’s a dent in the crease line just behind the drivers door. Their car door...
