Hi,
I am a new M3 owner and have a couple questions/problems I was hoping people could help me answer.
Easy Entry - I have Easy Entry setup as I like to use it for getting in/out of the vehicle, and I am the only other driver profile setup. It all works the way I expect when getting in and out of the car. However, seeing as Easy Entry is a profile, does it make it's own settings for the car, or will it match my driver profile? (other than seat/mirror positions obviously) i.e Do I have to go through Easy Entry manually and set all the settings to match my driver profile, or will it leave everything the same?
The reason I ask about the above is that I haven't been able to receive app notifications, and whilst leaving Sentry mode turned on, I have it set to exclude home and exclude favourites, yet when I am at home, sentry mode appears to be activating and I wondered if this was to do with the car going into easy entry and me needing to set the settings/addresses up separately on the easy entry profile.
Preconditioning - I set my M3 to schedule a precondition yesterday morning before I left. The car was plugged in, but not charging as it had finished around 2 and half hours before I was scheduled to leave (so an hour 45/2 hours before preconditioning would have startd). When I got in the car, the external temperature was about 7c, the car was fully charged and the cabin warm. I went on a 43 mile drive and finished with 83% percent battery, yet the regen braking dashes never disappeared for the whole drive. I then did the same drive home without preconditioning, bit longer at 50 miles, around 8c temp, finished with 61% battery and again the regen braking dashes never fully went away.
However, the other week when I was charging for a few hours from around 25%, I'd finished charging about half an hour before my scheduled departure time for preconditioning and was still plugged in, with an external temp of 3c, and the regen dashes never even appeared for my 63 mile drive back home.
With the above case, it it just usually at temperatures like the above, regen will never fully be active, and the only reason it was when it was 3c was because I'd been charging all day? Or is there another reason why it seemed to work one time but then not the next?
Thanks!
