Been driving my new M3 for about a month and enjoying it very much.
I do have a suggestion/question though. Why does range display only in Miles or Percent? I don't find either of these particularly useful. Miles are inaccurate because, well, I indulge in rapid acceleration (NOT complaining, I understand that leadfoot drivers should expect less range.) Similarly, percent of battery remaining isn't very helpful in tracking how far I can expect to go before exhausting the battery.
I'd like to see KWh remaining. That way I can just divide remaining KWh by MY OWN typical KWh per mile and have an accurate sense of range. Anybody know if this is possible?
Also... why does the car display Wh per mile? Anybody who is accustomed to ICE cars thinks in Miles per Gallon, not Gallons per mile. So Miles per KwH seems like a more natural way to express efficiency. (Yes, I understand that one is the reciprocal of the other)
Your thoughts?
