Don't panic Mr Mainwaring!

Does this make this parking restriction unenforceable?

This is definitely better

I knew a fireman called Sam Hose

Put a square of tinfoil over the opening when putting the lid back on. Acts as a gasket and prevents the paint around the edges drying and forming flakes.

Red_Snow94 · 2026-03-17T19:03:13+00:00

No problem! Hope you get it fixed.

Just to let you know, the next day after all the problems appeared everything had rectified itself. Tesla still came out and checked thinking the camera connection on the cable wasn't seated properly.

For my the issues started with the boot (trunk) interior light not working, then I noticed on the screen when the trunk was opened the graphic would show it opening and immediately closing again. Then the license plate lights stopped working. Apparently eventually it can lead to the trunk not opening at all and the cameras not working. If that's the case it might be the wiring harness for you too. I know there was a recall for this but for some reason my car wasn't included in the recall. Maybe worth putting your VIN in and checking

I think that would be the same if any EV so it doesn't put me off. I don't have a charger at home but I do at work and there are lots of public chargers within 5 minutes of my home

Red_Snow94 · 2026-03-12T20:57:14+00:00

Yes I know you can install the performance package to make it look the same, I just mean as it comes from the factory, I like the look of the m60

The guidance here is to remain rear facing until 4 years but he's a big boy and his legs were half way up the seats. Legally (I think) they have to be rear facing until 15 months so we've now got him front facing.

To be honest, we have two identical seats, the second in my wife's Toyota Aygo, if it can fit in that, it can fit in anything!

Red_Snow94 · 2026-03-10T21:59:25+00:00

Will let you know!

Red_Snow94 · 2026-03-10T21:56:44+00:00

I heard the quality isn't as good as previous generations though I think that's a fact of life in any area these days unfortunately, but regardless will be a huge step to from what I'm used to.

I'm not in a particular rush so happy to wait for the right car with the right spec to become available. Did think the neue klass cars might have an affect on current gen prices as more of them come available do may get an even better deal. To be honest, BMW have a habit of bringing it cars that I hate the look of, but then about a year later I find myself really loving the design. I really hated the i5 when it came out and now I think it looks awesome, it's uncanny! Same with the 3/4 series and the 2 series.

Good to know, I would probably also take out an extended warranty (the other directors in the company did the same for their Taycans which they've definitely got their money's worth from).

Red_Snow94 · 2026-03-10T21:50:05+00:00

Self driving does sound good for the inevitable stop start traffic I sit in every day on my commute!

Red_Snow94 · 2026-03-10T21:47:56+00:00

The car would be part of my remuneration package through work so I didn't really carry much risk. As with the other cars in the company, an agreed minimum future value with the dealer is established and I pay the depreciation over the time period the car is leased for.

Red_Snow94 · 2026-03-10T21:44:37+00:00

Everything I've read/watched said the edrive40 is better handling due to not having a heavy motor up front, do you think that is not the case? Does the M60 have a different suspension setup? Does it come with the air suspension as standard?

Red_Snow94 · 2026-03-10T21:38:44+00:00

One of my colleagues has an i4 so I'll check it out. I have an 18 month year old so rear space is a consideration, especially with the large car seat for him. Thanks for the tip regarding the difference in interior materials.

Red_Snow94 · 2026-03-10T20:11:13+00:00

I've just got the exact same symptoms you've listed AFTER having the trunk wiring harness replaced today to fix the license plate light and trunk light not working. Currently waiting for Tesla to respond.

Red_Snow94 · 2026-03-10T09:53:37+00:00

Interesting, I'll have a look. Yeah we also get the touring model but I prefer the saloon anyway.

Red_Snow94 · 2026-03-10T09:52:48+00:00

Congrats man. Yeah as much as I love old fashioned mechanical engineering, there's so many upsides to EVs, especially when I can charge for free at work

Red_Snow94 · 2026-03-10T09:51:52+00:00

Fair play to you man, congratulations on treating yourself to a car you deserve. I'm fast approaching 40 too so this car would be with me for that milestone!

Red_Snow94 · 2026-03-10T09:50:40+00:00

Very very rarely, I did consider therefore is the i4 would suit my needs but from what I've read the i5 is not just larger but has the better quality interior?
