I've been driving my M3 SR+ for the last 2 months, mainly commuting 36 miles a day and weekend city driving. I bought it as a commuter car and never considered it as good road trip car. My line of thought was - buy the lower priced Tesla as a commuter and run the SUV on the long trips.
Well, last weekend I change my mind! Besides, being on the smaller size for the party of 4(with 2 days worth of personal luggage), the car did great. Not in a moment I had to wait on the car to charge - it was done way before we finished refueling ourselves. For the 593 miles from D.C. to NYC and back(plus some NYC driving), I had to stop twice at a supercharger, where I paid total of $13.
Starting at 100% from home - first charge took about 30 min after 198 miles off driving and I charged more than I needed. I had a free destination charger at the hotel in NYC, but I didn't even fully used the service, since for two nights I only topped off about 25% each night. Second charge on the way back took about 20 min, since this time I new I didn't have to wait more and I still came back home with 23% to spare.
So there you have it - if anyone have any doubt, whether SR+ is good enough for this type of weekend getaway - don't hesitate anymore - save your $10k and get the SR+
