So, 1 day in from receiving my MYLR (Silver/Black) and I am delighted. I had a M3LR (Black/Silver) last year so I knew what I was getting, mostly. Some observations:
- Ordering Dec 16th and getting delivery 2nd March with a few texts in between was painless.
- AnyVan delivery service was spot on. Good comms and clean, undamaged car delivered.
- All panels and gaps are good.
- Cables and USB stick present and the wireless chargers and USBc ports all work
- The colour is fantastic, love the silver. Interior in black and I really like it. I had white previously which I loved but I guess, now that I've scratched that itch, a more sensible black suits!
- The display layout is different and much better than I remembered. Love it.
- Boombox and Light show are fun but will go the same way as farting did on my previous one...fun for a few days and then never used!
- Road noise and cabin noise is very low. Impressed.
- I bought wee stickers for the "open door" button on doors as I needed them on my M3...bad buy as no need on this. They are there already.
- Interior feels much more "substantial" and better quality than on my M3 of 2020
- Boot space is enormous and no parcel shelf needed as glass is dark and there is a big, covered lower trunk space to use.
- The side bins in the boot are huge...easily get boots/trainers in there and more. No need for the accessory bins imo though.
- App took about 6 hours to appear but all good once it did.
- I bought floor mats from Carmelo which simply don't fit. Bad buy. Beware. The all weather ones from Bouget RV that I had for my M3 were brilliant.
- I bought the EVlution rubber trunk mat which fits brilliantly. Good buy.
- The centre console tray accessory makes a big difference. Good buy.
- Acceleration is just as I remembered...mad!
- Feels much more spacious inside and the extra height helps.
- There's a plastic edge cover on rear view mirror that you might not notice...until you do! remove it, looks miles better!
I had written myself a little checklist of Day 1 things to do so here it is...lots of personal preference stuff obviously!
- Set up driver profile (seat, steering wheel, mirrors etc)
- Set up EZ entry profile
- Link to home wifi for updates
- Update software
- Make sure walk away locking is on
- Set PIN to drive
- Set glovebox PIN
- Set home on Sat Nav, set work on Sat Nav
- Turn off voice guidance on Sat Nav
- Give your car a name!!
- Buy some microfibre cloths
- Fit screen protector.
Hope that helps someone!
