330e electric range improvement?

Anyone else got a big increase in the estimated electric range over the last week? Mine had dipped to 18-20 miles but is now back up to 29 miles. It has got a bit warmer but is still meant to be 0C tonight...

Nope. My Pod Point wall charger never shows more than 22 miles on a full charge over connected app

Weird, I'm away at the moment so charging off a 3-pin but this is current status with 11% more to go. It's 1C outside...

Mine has gone the other way... was showing 27miles over weekend and now low 20s when fully charged.

You certainly are compared to me.
I’ve never managed more than 22 miles since I picked up the car mid November using a Pod Point charger.

Mine fluctuates between 22 - 24, never more unless I turn off my heating when I get in and it boosts it up a further 3 miles.

So I usually get more miles out of it than it states, unless it's just short journeys when sometimes I don't. Today I drove into Cambridge and back (theoretically about 15 miles) and when I got back I only had 3 miles left so a long way from the 29 miles it said when I finished charging last night (admittedly I'd set climate conditioning for the morning and the car wasn't connected to power, have realised this consumes a lot of battery).

Just weird how it has gone from 18-19 miles to 29 miles of charge in the last week (during which I got a software update to 11/2019.34). Weather has got a bit warmer but not much. Neither are accurate...

Heating is one of my big concerns, thinking of using a 330e up here. Colder temperatures will have quite an impact on EV range. It's not just the pre-heating/conditioning away from a plug, it is the need to keep the cabin warm while driving along. I suppose we could dress up like the days before cabin heaters.

It's where driving with an ICE, there is plenty of cabin heat once running, as we are using 'wasted' energy, rather than eating into our mileage range.

I had 25 miles with full charge on delivery, two months ago. Now down to 19 miles full charge for the last 2-3 weeks. Charging from 3 pin plug. (Surely that doesn't make a difference??)

Hmm interesting about the software update, mine is currently on 07/2019.55, checked online, the app and the car to force an update but said no update available.

Do you have funky options like "Driving Assistant Professional"? As I believe software updates can vary depending on location and specification of the car.

My car has

M Sport Plus
HK
Extended storage
Enhanced Bluetooth/Wireless

Wish I ticked DAP seeing those new "Tesla Like" screens looks amazing ... for a non Tesla

Yeah over the air updates don't work for iDrive (yet?) But if you book into a dealer the latest is 11/2019.34 (or was 2 weeks ago!) Should take about 1.5 hrs.

I've got Drive Assist Pro, it's generally excellent and does have the funky graphic showing all the vehicles it's tracking. I've counted 5 at one time so far... ;-)

Ha 5...nice one

Ok so just for a software update it's possible to book it in FOC and no other work required?

Yep. Mines in tomorrow just for the update to 11/2019.34
They are picking up my car at 9am and apparently need it all day. The helpful salesman said they’ll give a complimentary wash and vac too.

So after today’s software update my car has achieved 29 miles range.
Before the update I never managed anything over 22 miles.

Had the same with mine but it's massively unrealistic. After about 50m it drops from 29miles to 25 or less. I'm back to 23 miles now. Funny that you've got a newer update since my last update only a week ago. It's worse than my Xbox at updates!? ;-)
