M3 LR range is 322?

[bottomsup]

I took delivery of my M3 August 2018 and love it. I was reading some articles recently and noticed multiple mentions of ~325 range.

Did the battery change since I bought mine or is the 310 range i bought inaccurate or some such?
From Wikipedia

322 miles (518 km) combined
319 miles (513 km) city
296 miles (476 km) highway

Those numbers are off. The combine can't be the highest. It should be inbetween the 2 others.

On the RWD it used to be 310 then a software update pushed it to 325. On the AWD I think it’s always been 322. There are no official highway/city ratings that I’m aware of. The only thing I’ve seen is MPGe ratings on the EPA website

I think the awd was 310, it is just lately that it increased to 322.

Not for model year 2018 it isnt, at least to my knowledge (AWD).

Yes, I think it is just a few months that it went up to 322.

That was november of 2019, for model year 2020. There was never any mention that it was retroactive, and others have done dives into the EPA filings and the 2020 model year model 3s have different EPA filings.

I think you are agreeing with me....

I stand by my original statement of "not for model year 2018" (which is what this OP would be concerned about, since they mentioned they "have a 2018 and were reading about more range". Not for this OPs car there isnt.

You don't mention if your LR is RWD or AWD. This makes a difference.

The LR RWD ones were promised a bump up to 325 total range in March of 2019 by EM, and some of us got it, but not everyone, and it went away for some of us that got it (like me). So it's a crap shoot whether any given car got it or not. My car has had estimated range that has been all over the place since the brief bump up to 325 - as low as 295, but mostly sitting around 310-315.

The 322 number for AWD cars - I haven't really followed all that .

I never disagreed with you !

Sure hope that you folk with a 325 mile commute make it.

Or you could slow down and increase the range.

Personally I just hit a convenient charger, which sit about every hundred miles or less along the road. Or I used to, until I got my 400 mile Raven. WOOHOO!!! (Not really. Who's going to drive five to six hours without needing to stop, anyway? Not me.)

I have. RWD

My 2018 AWD never got a range increase. Started at 310. Currently maxing out at just 302 miles.

there is no range increase. the typical scale has just been adjusted. completely irrelevant to consumption and capacity.
