Anyone with an F30, what is your E-drive range ? I am getting a mysteriously high 27 miles of range on my 67 plate (M Sport with 18” and runflats, if that makes a difference). Thought it was BS so tested it out on a mixed drive (A-road, B road, motorway, local road) journey of about 20 miles and it still seemed to have quite a bit of juice in it when I got back, even with heating/Ac on so I reckon it seems to be managing a realistic 24-25 miles ? It seems to be fluctuating every day between 22 and 27 miles in these climates.
I have noticed the range seems to dip a bit when using heating/ pre conditioning
Ignore the petrol range, it rarely sees a petrol station as I use EV for basically everything!
Are you getting 20+ miles consistently? I get around 15 electric miles in the summer and 11 miles in winter on mine. I have noticed the range seems to dip a bit when using heating/ pre conditioning

Bit of an update on what could potentially be a right pain to sort....
330 goes in for 40k service in December, come out nice and sparkly but stinks, and I mean vile, thought it was just the jet washing so over Christmas it was not used as we tend to use the family wagon for kid duties.
During Christmas I opened it and nearly got knocked out with the smell, it was vile, like a bottle of milk had been thrown over the interior and left in a sauna, checked everywhere and cant seen any spillage, we tend to not use this car for any shopping or things so am pretty confident it not milk, but cleaned it and had it valeted and no trace of spillages has been found.
Fast forward 3 weeks and the car still stinks, looking in the boot there appears to be liquid under the hybrid battery, I've got as much up as I can see and the smell is still there, i have taken all carpets, side fittings and boot cover from the car and the smell is originating from the battery still.
BMW have said its milk that has spilled, its a company car and I don't pay anything for repairs so would be straight up with them if it was as I just want it sorted, in the old days you would just pull the spare wheel out and give it a wipe, now this has got to go into BMW to have the battery removed to see if there is any spillage or battery leakage underneath, complete faff really, i'm hoping to get sorted next week as the smell is getting stronger and its not even summer.
Will update if its not spillage anyway!!
Sorry I know this post is from ages ago but we've got the same problem at the minute except we know ours is definitely a full 2 litre bottle milk under the battery. We didn't notice at first so it got left over night in this heat and now I can't stand drive the car, the smell is horrendous. What happened to yours in the end? 330 goes in for 40k service in December, come out nice and sparkly but stinks, and I mean vile, thought it was just the jet washing so over Christmas it was not used as we tend to use the family wagon for kid duties.
