you have 20's on your 3 and don't have the aero covers? either way, what's your 100%-0% real world range, do you know.

I have 19" wheels, like you I went for range over looks.

Real world range with my driving style varies, but it's probably around 260 miles on 100 percent charge

Aero covers are only available on the small tire size. I also believe his 3 has 19's, only the performance comes with 20's.

so new 3 'premium' (i.e., not the stripped down new base 'standard') has 18s or 19s (no perf) in either rwd or awd and only 18s have covers.
so actually amirza you could have had a bit better range by getting 18s.

new y premium has 19s or 20s (no perf) and i went for 19s for more comfortable ride and more range (and it was lowest cost before new 'standard').

Yes, I mixed up my Y with the 3. With the 3, it was an inventory car, I got the 19" wheels free

the chances of rain on sunday/monday is basically chance of a sprinkle during one hour of the day.
