Not to sure what it is like for you, but for me it's a lot cheaper to charge at home than at the superchargers.

I have personally never used a fast charger or a level 1 charger on mine, I just use my level 2 and set both car and charger to change between midnight and 7 AM.
I can typically get 4-5 days out of a fully charged battery.

You still have that Imola E46 M3?
Been a while since my M3 days, sold my CB 7 years ago, do miss it some times
Ha, yep, best car ever! Plus an M3 converted wagon. I do all my projects on it in the winter now, so the coupe is in full project move--wavetrac diff, monoball control arms, solid subframe mounts, vincebar, Slonik chassis stiffener plate, new suspension etc going in. If I have enough time when that's done, I have a leather dash for it ready to go in
