    Disappearing Miles (SHOCKED )!

    Simple. Motorway driving….below 10degrees my theory…seems to eat the power. Go to EV Database you will see massive difference of City vs Motorway in mild vs cold weather

    Audiophiles, what gives better sound quality? Apple Music via bluetooth or the built-in Apple Music app?

    I general use Spotify in the car. I loaded Apple Music today and it sounded better to me. Not sure vs BT Apple Music, But somehow direct Apple Music sounded very good

    Temperature sensor faulty? And noisy heater?

    This week the UK has been cold….approx -3 to -5 degrees C However, my M3 Standard 2022 says that it is -13. Eventually (like 30mins post driving) it gets to the likely real temperature. anyone else seen this? Also, the car heater makes a much more audible noise - even on fan setting 2. Again...

    Charging advice in Cornwall area

    Newbie……Non Supercharger Options? Hi Team. So far loving my M3, but only ever used Superchargers or my home. About to do big road trip to Cornwall. What’s the best Fast Chargers to look out for? Do I need to join some special subscription? Or I see there are some fast chargers at BP garages...

    Great economy! What model and age do you have? Mine was new in March (basic M3 rwd) and I am averaging 250Wh/mile with 800 miles done

    Tesla Roof Rack on M3 - front bolts have virtually no thread showing?!

    Hi Team so I just installed the Tesla Roof Rack on my 2022 M3 For the front bars, the thread showing through the rubber was tiny. I attached the bolt and did probably 2, maybe 3, turns max. is this normal? Definitely a lot more thread showing on the rears I’m worried there is not enough...

    FYI - for those in their first couple of days/weeks of ownership….note that M3SR only has ONE Reverse Light..I’m not sure about other models. So, no need to create a Service Call for it to be repaired like I did ;-) The nice Service Call Centre lady told me they get at least one of these every...

    My first long trip

    Regarding Range - has anyone compared Chill mode vs Standard? Chill has clearly less acceleration, so I am naturally forced to drive in a more ‘chilled’ way…..but does this translate to better range? Or if I just drove ‘less like a madman’ in Standard mode, would I just get an equivalent range...

    My first long trip

    So, I am on week 4. M3SR. 700miles. Two ‘long’ trips. One was 240 mile return - I had to do a charge which I was very disapointed with, and scared myself to death trying basic autopilot. Second, 120 round trip…..AWESOME! Once I discovered that 250 Wh/mi is ‘normal/realistic’…ie the car only...

    Am I misundersanding something? One week in, with my new M3 Standard RWD…and fully charged it states a range on 270miles.Should it not say 300? I’ve done a couple of hundred miles so assume it should have calibrated etc? Apart from that - it’s still AWESOME 😎

    You can use as a deposit re knocking you down, they never looked at the car at all when I collected my M3 this week however the trade in is only valid for x days….so they did reduce my trade in by 2k, over the 3 months from order to pickup. I was a bit annoyed by that, but it was in their...

    One word……FREAKIN’ AWESOME! 😎😎😎😎😎😁😁😁😁😁 Ok, so that is two words and some emojis. I picked up my basic standard M3RWD 18inch yesterday...drives like a rocket! I cannot imagine what the Performance is like….and Plaid must be unreal! Fabulous car. Very pleased. I had a really nice BMW 4 Gran Coupe...

    Yep. It appears under Payments. Takes a few days over the weekend, but I made a payment in the week, and it was in my account in less than an hour

    You need to pay the deposit to enable you to create an Order. Who says you have delivery end of March? Have you had a Text? Is this Lease?

    I sent a test £10 to Tesla yesterday. Should I have received a Receipt? Or do they/banks not work weekends, so this will not be processed until Monday? Any ideas? Thx

    I just got notified that my Trade In has expired, 2 days after my final invoice. is this normal? Are they about to reduce it? I thought as long as I was within a mileage limit they would honour the price? Or am I about to experience ’bait and switch’?
