    Potential M3 LR buyer questions

    And then, as if Tesla reads this forum, I got a reply! In the negative but at least it was a reply. No plans for the north west it seems. A classic example of chicken and egg: insufficient sales to justify a service centre and, as a result, a continuing lack of sales. Apparently Elon himself...

    Potential M3 LR buyer questions

    Returning to the original thread topic... about a week ago I e-mailed Tesla sales asking whether there were any plans to open sales/service outlets in Cumbria/Lancashire. Disappointingly, I have received no reply, which suggests that there are no such plans, at least none that they are willing...

    Potential M3 LR buyer questions

    It has always been my assumption that one would either have a spare wheel as standard or run-flats as standard. Maybe that is just not so, in which case I think it's a bonkers development. Mind you we are talking about the same car makers that brought us keyless start and that has to be one of...

Fact of the matter is I have got rather bored with Mercs, having had several (E320, 2xE350 and now the E400) so I fancy something "dissimilar"! Great suggestion to do a week's rental and, surprisingly, there is a rental...

    Potential M3 LR buyer questions

    Many thanks for the really helpful replies everyone. Yes, I do need to sort out a test drive to get a feel for noise levels. Point taken that the newest version is improved. A brand new £50k car shouldn't have any rattles at all! Nor, for that matter, should it have manufacturing defects after...

    Potential M3 LR buyer questions

    I'm not (yet) a Tesla owner but I am seriously considering the M3 LR/AWD and my research throws up questions that I am sure this forum could help with. If that's considered bad form then please disregard and accept my apologies. Background: I've been a Mercedes sort of person (sorry!) for many...
