    Problems with "early" M3 production cars??

    Happened 14 months in at around 30,000km's (18,500 Miles). Was driving on a local road a couple minutes from getting on the highway when I heard a loud "thunk". Car basically died and warnings galore to pull over immediately and call service. Was unnerving but I guess lucky it didn't happen...

    Problems with "early" M3 production cars??

    Hi everyone, I LOVE my RWD M3. Best car I've owned. However, I must admit that it hasn't been my most reliable car. I was a relatively early buyer. Delivery June 8, 2018 (VIN 29,xxx). Over the past 2 years I have had both minor and major problems. Minor: charge port freezing in winter (I...

    Rear lower control arm failed

    I have a RWD M3 (June 2018). Due to creaking noise I had to replace my right front control arm last month. This comes on the heels of replacing my rear drive unit in 2019 (after a catastrophic failure while driving and 10 days in the shop) and replacing the driver's seat due to the heating...

    Rear drive unit fail

    There was nothing out of the ordinary. No unusual sound. No unusual messages. Than out of nowhere "thunk-thunk" sound from the rear of the car. Than all hell broke loose - error messages and the car stopped almost immediately. Just thankful this did not happen on the highway or in the middle of...

    Rear drive unit fail

    Just got back from Tesla Lawrence. They have to wait for the new unit, so repair will take a week. No other info on why or how the unit failed. Got a Model S P85 as a loaner. So fast!

    Rear drive unit fail

    So I was out driving yesterday, local road, doing maybe 60km/h when all of a sudden I hear a "thunk-thunk" coming from the rear of the car. Immediately all kinds of warnings pop up. As I'm pulling over, the car shudders and shakes to a stop. Screen says "12V power reduced" and "car needs...

    Tesla app - "Charging Stopped"

    After plugging in my M3 at home instead of the app saying "Scheduled to charge at 3am" (or whatever time you choose) my app now says "Charging Stopped". This started about a week ago. The car still charges normally at the designated time but the app does not show that charging is scheduled...
