The improved range is due to the new heat pump instead of the standard heater.
WLTP protocol has a defined temperature for the test. For Europe I think it’s 14C. The M3 shares/moves heat between systems (cabin, motor, battery etc) using coolant and I think the car isn’t charged immediately prior to the test- so quite possible heat pump will impact on the result.The WLTP range tests do not take account of heating and cooling ... if they did it would have to be quoted as a range at a particular temperature. IMO the improved range is therefore unlikely to be related to any efficiencies gained by the heat pump.
There’s also a rumour of increased battery density.
To check my understanding...
So for WLTP, the external temperature is 14C and so no use is made of AC or heating? Hence the heat pump can't have made a difference for the range? Interesting.
The parts catalog and videos previously shown suggest that the console goes over the top of the induction mat, and there's no indication at all that there are holes or whatever for cables to go through (see 4 and 13 in the image below)With the refreshed centre console we obviously get the wireless charging but I haven't seen any mention or photos of whether it still takes the USB-C leads so you can just slide your phone onto the plug. Anyone know?

Yeah that's what I've been thinking. Not everybody has a wireless charging phone so there must be something we're missing. Fingers crossed anyway.
Looks like there are 2 USB C sockets in the cubby hole under the sliding door.With the refreshed centre console we obviously get the wireless charging but I haven't seen any mention or photos of whether it still takes the USB-C leads so you can just slide your phone onto the plug. Anyone know?
I saw this yesterday - the guy made a video but didn't show anything different that's already been showcased in other 2021 videos. In the comments, he did say he would make another one with the unanswered questions.
