Yeah, except Google might throw up a few odd ones. Better to ask those in the know.

Google says:

LFP = The local field potential (LFP) refers to the electric potential in the extracellular space around neurons.

ICE = frozen water, a brittle transparent crystalline solid.

An ice cream, ice lolly, or portion of water ice.

GOM = Grand Old Man

Frozen screen m3. Screen became unresponsive to touch 1 hour into journey. Was able to continue as knew route but bit of pain.. screen reset itself after car left standing for half hour. Wondering is this common problem? - first time it happened .

Hasn't happened to me..Yet.

Believe you can clear it with the two steering wheel buttons reset.

I've had this a few times (though not recently), and a 2 button reset (even while driving) always sorts it.

Random questions, my screen alerted me that my tyre pressure is too low (between 37 and 39 on all 4), I took delivery in September.

I had them filled yesterday and its now showing 45PSI. I saw 42-45 is recommended with 42 being optimal. Am I okay to leave it at 45? It will probably drop again soon anyway.

45 is fine.. you might feel the bumps a little more, but if we get another reduction in ambient temp they'll probably go down to 43-44..

Mine are all at 41 now as I haven't adjusted them in a few weeks and there was a big temp drop!!

Driving in Germany during the summer during the heatwave (40C) mine were running at 49psi

Worked

Yes - didn't want to try it while driving but believe it's possible?

Any recommendations for good all season tyres that don’t break the bank? It’s looking more and more likely that it is going to get very cold next week so would like to be prepared if it does turn into on of those where we have a long cold spell.

I downloaded and installed 2022.40.4.2 last night.

Release notes say that the update is related to Radio Station Logos and to the Driver Door unlock function. Does anybody know what the undocumented updates were.

My journey to work is consistently 17% of battery range. This morning, it was 14%.. I never had a 14% before (charged to 100% overnight so it was an obvious observation)... One journey is too early to draw any conclusive conclusions, but has the latest update unlocked some of the excess buffer??

Google 2022.40.4.2 to see all…

"'Auto' headlights will now illuminate taillights in addition to the daytime running lights."

I like this update, dont know why its not standard on all cars.

Should be standard for sure. I actually tweeted this to Elons Twitter account a year ago!

I used bimmercode to code this feature on all my previous BMW’s. In the i3 and the cars with wing mirror lighting I also coded the external handles and mirror lights to come on in reverse.

Says not relevant in Ireland though..... I wish it was though as I usually always turn on the setting where the DRL's are on as well as the tail lights...

That’s a dope move. Why not applicable in Ireland?

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/119939913#Comment_119939913

In general as long as the peak pressure stays under the maximum rated, printed on the side of the tyre, you are fine (apart from the resulting lack of comfort).

If you don't usually charge to 100% that could be your answer. The Battery Management System (BMS) which is relied on also to calculate range requires readings at various stages of charge to calibrate. To do this successfully it needs to take reliable readings (car in sleep mode for a few hours with Sentry turned off) at the various ends of the spectrum !00%, 50% 0% ) etc. This also explains why some people see a reduction in range as if their charging pattern does not give readings across the entire range 0% to 100% the BMS takes a more prudent approach.

I am attaching a link which some may find helpful in explaining

An M3 charging question. I charged at one of the ESB high-powered charger a few weeks back but was limited to 25kw charging speed. I went to the same charger yesterday and exactly the same. In both cases the battery was at about 50%. I have charged at another ESB HP charger and super charger several times with no similar restrictions. I logged it with ESB and both time they blamed the cars BMS. Do you think that might be the case or are they fobbing me off? Could it be the high SoC?

Was anyone using the AC on the same unit when you only got 25kW? Even without pre-conditioniny, you should be seeing at least 35+kW on one of those 50kW ESB units with 50% SOC & a cold battery..

Hi Andy. No one else charging on both occasions. Also it was the HP 150kw charger. There is a 50kw unit beside it but didn't test that one. I didn't want to disconnect with the one I was on and reconnect with the other cause I'm to tight to pay the connection fee twice 😂

Josieg

@AndyBoBandy there isn't a setting that I could have inadvertently adjusted in the car?

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/119945308#Comment_119945308

There isn't any user settings for DC fast charging. Charging speed is agreed upon between the car and the charger.

It might be worth checking out a different charger, preferably a supercharger, to see if you still get low speeds.

was it Kilcullen by any chance? as that 150kW unit is very tempramental....

Josieg

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/119945570#Comment_119945570

No not kilcullen it's kells. I have used a super charger as recently as Tuesday and got 150 at peak dropping to about 85kw. I'm just heading back from airport now so will try again but on a low SoC this time.

Josieg

Same sh1te again with that ESB charger in Kells. Limited to 25kw even though SoC was at 25% when I plugged in. I moved it to the older 50kw fast charger next to it and was able to pull 45kw so it doesn't seem to be my car. Very strange.

I had the same sort of issue when I picked up mine in Sep. Only it was the M1/M50 charger I tried (iirc) and I was limited to about half the 50kW. I've only charged on a fast charger a couple of times and it hasn't happened since the first week. Used a Tesla SuC at Applegreen on the way to NI and I pulled well over 100kW. Funny, the single ESB station had a Kona charging and a Leaf and Corsa waiting. Mine was the only Tesla at the 8 Tesla stalls 🤣.

Not a documented change , but the auto main breams are way way better with 2022.40.4. Drove for 3 hours yesterday and didn't need to override once.

Seems to be the word worldwide with similar comments here, and the US groups.

Auto wipers are gone to absolute pot……….

they’ve never been this bad in over 2 years….

...Ghost...

Added today.

Also added rear mud guards. Left the original fronts on.

Zurbaran

Whilst the auto lights have improved to the point where I use them and are 100 times better than before they still need to improve.

The high beam comes on in well lit areas and probably shouldn’t come on at all below 50/60kph. They are also pretty slow to go to high beam after passing an on coming car.

The wipers are infuriating tbh. I really hope they can be improved massively as it’s the worst thing about the car imo.
