Our long-term 2022 BMW M3 is green with envy:
Around the time of this service, the M3 began exhibiting some tramlining that grew progressively worse over the next 3000 miles. Nonetheless, we pawned the car off on technical editor Dan Edmunds for a cross-country drive—one that included a torrential hailstorm in Utah so severe that drivers had to pull over and wait it out. When he got to California, he had the worn front tires replaced, and once they were off the car, he could see that the inner edge was down to the cords.
That fixed the tramlining, but on the return trip east, a different issue emerged, this time with the rear tires. Dan noticed a 4-psi difference between the pressures on the driver’s and passenger’s sides. Figuring the tire techs hadn't properly aired them up, he filled them to spec, but the tire-pressure difference returned. After further inspection, he found the culprit: an inch-long carriage bolt jammed smack-dab in the tread of the driver's-side rear tire.
Any other notes from the road trip? For one thing, it helped improve our average fuel economy to 22 mpg. And opting for the 18/19-inch front/rear wheel combo made for a more comfortable highway ride than what you'd get with the 19/20-inch setup most M3s come with. Subjectively, the car looks better with the additional sidewall too. Edmunds also appreciated that there are multiple ways to control the center screen, even while using Apple CarPlay.
