My heart is saying, "Take the performance." My brain is saying it's not a smart decision 😭🥲. Take the LR AWD.

[angelvalle]

Yooo bro thanks for explaining everything about ur LR 🙏 I really like how you explain about miles & percentage 👌

I don’t miss my 8Y RS3 at all since getting the Tesla.

Since I had a HUD I couldn't drive a car without it.
The M3H is great and looks good in all black! Great performance, great range and a good package at all

[Skeetskeet]

I waited months for my LR order of the 2024 M3P in ultra red, but the performance was released before I received my order. So, I switched to the P instead. The performance is incredibly fast. I drive it like I stole it, and whoever gets in the car is taken aback by its speed. It’s literally too much. In hindsight, I probably should have gotten the LR, but the P is still a lot of fun.

I test drove both and I had to pull the trigger on the performance model bro, it's just so fast and styling is so cool and for me it wasn't that much more. Knowing at a tap of the throttle I can do 0-60 in 2.9 and 1/4 in 10.9 is just insane, and from what i heard the performance is getting a 5% power boost in feb next year, someone leaked their software roadmap so it can match the LG battery with the Panasonic battery? not too sure what that means

Apparently it's coming in a week so I'm sooo excited, ordered black on black, black car, black seats 🥳

Got a 2023 Model 3 last Dec ‘22 for daily work ride. Acceleration is addicting. Best car I’ve ever had. 🙏🏼😇👍🏼

I would have gone with the Performance but what you have seems to fit your needs perfectly!!

[micker]

The 0 to 60 time is like what the top super cars would do, back in the day. I probably would have gotten the performance, if I was like 18 lol. Now I realize that you will almost never use that power, besides the first few times fooling around, just for fun. If you are an adult and don't drive cars like a teenager for sport, the LR is WAY more than you will ever need for performance. The damn standard Model 3 is faster than anyone would ever need.

The new interior looks a lot better than the previous one. I have '22 M3P in blue/white, and I didn't even consider the black interior because it was too plain and drab looking. The new gen, even the lower models, look a lot better with the black seats. The new performance seats in the M3P look fantastic.

[RIVvideos]

excellent choice considering you have the M2. I drive my M3P in standard mode 70% of the time (3.8s 0-60, similar to M3LR) since it's fast enough. When I put it in insane I tend to get impatient with other drivers and go way over the speed limit

[FGNi-emsb]

I have an N54 335i as my weekend/track car and had an M car in mind to have as a daily, after test driving the M3P I was sold right away. The way this car accelerates is incredible. From the adaptive suspension to the better brakes and style. The M3P is actually a bargain for a car that offer this level of performance. Love my decision every time I drive it 💯

As all your other previous cars we definitely think alike. Right down to the specs! I wouldn't trust myself if i had the performance 😂 so definitely LR AWD would be perfect for me also. The price with the tax rebate also makes a huge difference.

[MicahCastro]

I have a 2024 M2 as well and was thinking about this exact car as my daily (currently daily an Accord) so I really appreciate the content! I'd probably go with the long range over the performance as well just to save on cost and it's plenty quick for daily driving.

"I dislike my M3P / MYP. I wish I would have gotten the LR 😢" -- No One Ever

[BatteryAddicted]

Same here. The M3P was just too expensive for me. I got the August 1.99% apr so pretty happy. Crazy range - 342 miles at 100% charge (I keep my M3 LR under 50% charge). Like you said, plenty fast (4 second 0-60). Cost was my motivating factor (18' wheels, registration, monthly payment, etc) for a daily. Great video! I wanted the performance but happy with the LR.

[evan.]

How much do you pay for insurance just for the Tesla per month? I'm really thinking about leasing one. I work 10 minutes away from my house so I hate putting all of these city miles on my 435i every week day without it getting fully up to temp.

[JanneKaisto]

Nice one! Have you done any modifications for it besides window tint?

[yuvalkapellner]

I own M3 Highland LR AWD. If you plan to drive on standard setting and floor it often times at the traffic light, then those tires will also wear quickly. Mine has the nova 19" wheels and i am very happy with it. I often drive on Chill mode setting which is very comfy. if i want to enjoy hard acceleration pulls i like doing it at avg speed of 70km and then floor it to get to 170km so quickly. It feels like the rest of traffic around me is in stand still and when i do that as it climbs extremely fast to 170km/h, also this doesn't wear tires as much as when starting from a complete stand still. If they come out with acceleration boost, i will definitely get it. Should be able to cut it from 4.2 to 3.6. At the moment i am waiting to see before switching to aftermarket boost update which is already available for highland and cost around 1000usd

If you don't use track mode or over steering for drift. Perfermance would be wasted.
