Is your M3/M4 a daily driver?

Lincoln30 · 08-25-2014, 03:44 PM

Yes, mine will be my primary daily driver for my 75 mile round trip to and from work. I also drive my truck maybe 20% of the time. I never drive either of the old cars to work.

lol

I used to do this a lot years ago when I would go to the mall. Then one day I came outside and was walking back to my car with a friend. We realized another car had decided to park right next to us in the middle of the empty lot. What that guy was doing in his car alone is what no man really needs to see another man do alone... Especially outside a shopping mall.

I will still park away from the crowds but I might choose to not be quite that far again

Yep. DD.

zosoboogie · 08-25-2014, 03:51 PM

not a DD...not going to work in the M4...possibly 5,000 miles a year for the M4....not a garage queen either.....going to be a hard 5,000 miles a year

K20A2_S · 08-25-2014, 03:57 PM

Mine will be driven Friday thru Sunday.

I don't see a point in driving into work Mon-Thur sittin in traffic, not using it's full potential and just getting rock chips and dodging highway hazards....lol...

I drive about 75 miles roundtrip to and from work, those will be put on my Civic.

I averaged around 8-9k annually on my last BMW, I'll probably be around the same

My daily driver to work will get little more. Probaly like 12-14k

Axelf · 08-25-2014, 04:48 PM

My car is my DD .... Well a month at a time any way as I work away from home for a month... So 6 month a year it sits in the garage.... And I make sure that everything that would be needed as in lawn mower or kids bike is right next to the door so they don't have to go any where near the car in the garage... They have been warned if I come back and there is any damage I f it was my wife, we will be divorced.... It it's my kids they will be sold.... And my wife never gets to drive it......

miula · 08-25-2014, 05:06 PM

Definitely DD and weekends as well... Except when I have to hand it over to a valet or haul a lot of gear in which case I beg my wife to let me borrow her SAV!!!

Captain45 · 08-25-2014, 05:08 PM

I love how all the responders of DD use are either FL, CA, or TX.

I'd DD my E92 if we didnt get snow.

M4NACE · 08-25-2014, 05:11 PM

DD as well, expecting 12000/13000km a year. Winter will put snow tires on. should be good to go. Vancouver don't really get that much snow anyways. LOL
