The biggest challenge was making it up the driveway.

That doesn't look like fun

Had the car since October (8000+ miles now). Put winters wheels/tires on in November. Couldn't wait to put the summers back on 2 weeks ago. I knew my plan would have its glitches...

Tonight's 25 mile commute kept me awake!

Love it! Drives great, have not been to gas station in a month (well except for the occasional Red Bull lol), love the tech in the cabin. Free charging at work certainly helps. Also love trying to be as efficient as possible driving, no more slamming on the throttle, although it is tempting with all the torque available. One annoying thing, I'm way over my mileage allowance for the two year lease and it's only been a month since I got the car

must've been crazy going up the driveway....wish we had some of that stuff in Hawaii!

Can't beat free charging at work.. What kind of mileage are you getting per tank?

Per charge!

lol

The max I got was 105 miles, but normally I would say about 80-90. A lot of times though I charge before the battery runs out so I don't max out the range, as when I charge at work my percentage of charge is usually at 55% to 60%.

Hopefully by the time your lease is up.. BMW will have the I3 M out

good to see safe and sound back in garage

smedin · 03-23-2015, 09:44 AM

It wasn't as bad as I thought. There were moments of panic, but overall, they got through the mess way better than I thought they would.

Not that I recommend it. At all.

Ever.

minn19 · 03-23-2015, 10:24 AM

Glad you made it home safe. I got stuck in the mid April snowstorm last year with my PSS on. That was with my 335 xDrive and it was still one of the scariest drives I've ever done.

I want to put my summers on pretty bad as well, but I'm waiting until mid April to do it. Hopefully this is the last snowstorm of the year.

The only reason I jumped the gun so early this year is that it snowed last November, 3 days after my break-in service. I've been dying to get the summers back on. It was worth it, but I'll probably be more patient next year.

Reedomn · 03-23-2015, 10:39 AM

Glad you made it...that is scary!!

Had to leave the 1M in the garage this morning for the same reason....

I hear yah. If I didn't have that experience last year I may have done the same thing this year.

Curious, where did you get your M3 and who was your CA if you don't mind saying.
