Many thanks for this info Hravani, @Vostok, @Punchbuggy @Maximillan @cafz and all
As a recent M3 RWD owner (couple of weeks), I am watching Battery %, trying to get a feel for efficiency and general range.
In short, it seems inefficient and inconsistent ie: generally uses more than I expected, but it could just be me.
Don’t get me wrong, I am enjoying the car - I am just trying to learn, and I know I should stop comparing usage to an ICE fuel tank gauge.
I appreciate there is likely some drain while going nowhere too.
It has all been urban driving since delivery and yes, I haven't been 'gentle' all the time, and I do use aircon most trips.
However, here are some stats:
Eg 1
Start 96% Odo: 502Km
End 78% Odo: 572Km
Battery decline = 18%
Distance travelled = 70km
Estimated Battery Range = 70/18 = 3.88 (km per %) x 100 = 388 KM
Eg 2
Start 98% Odo: 572km
End 83% Odo: 627km
Battery decline = 15%
Distance travelled = 55km
Estimated Battery Range = 55/15 = 3.6667 (km per %) x 100 = 366 KM
Does this seem correct/my calcs logical? If there is a better AU thread on this etc, would appreciate any guidance. Cheers.
