Is your M3/M4 a daily driver?

Np2014 · 08-25-2014, 02:01 PM

I am curious how many use their M3 or M4 as a daily driver? I just loaded 10 plastic bags full of groceries in the car yesterday and was very pleased with trunk space in my M4. Only worry i have is the lazy bastards who leave their grocery carts near cars instead of placing the carts back where they should be. Doesnt help i look for any reason to take my M4 even if its just a joy ride around with no destination in mind.

[but i do have a larger sedan for long-haul travel or if i need to carry more people around (but it just sits in the garage most of the time).]

Hate that as much as di@ks washing their windows on the stinking highway.

ss134 · 08-25-2014, 03:11 PM

DD. if I wanted a weekend car it would be something more focused than M3/4. This car is a jack of all trades, that's what I needed.

GoKuA · 08-25-2014, 03:15 PM

DD here. I drive 40 miles everyday.

npan · 08-25-2014, 03:17 PM

DD except for anything snow or tow

RickMonet · 08-25-2014, 03:24 PM

Planning the F80 as my daily driver.

Currently put 8K miles per year on my 3-series now - I hope to double that on the M3 because I like driving it so much!

stressdoc · 08-25-2014, 03:24 PM

DD. It's also my farm truck, school bus, snow vehicle, and magic carpet.

kitw · 08-25-2014, 03:25 PM

I basically split time with the F80 and my '14 Boxster S. Such a nice contrast between the cars - makes me appreciate both.

Fellfromdsky · 08-25-2014, 03:34 PM

Daily!

Just park as far away as possible to avoid everyone and be okay with walking a bit.. even though most of the time this results in some beat to shit car parking over the line next to you despite the rest of the lot being empty... which is infuriating

lol

40 miles/day.

Np2014 · 08-25-2014, 03:43 PM

Fellfromdsky trust me I park as far from a store as possible I dont mind the walk! I always try to get corner parking spots so no car can park on one side of my M4 and always look for security cameras and get near them. It amazes me how some people have no respect for another persons property.
