I am attempting to revive this thread. Just wondering what those of you who don't DD your M cars (or other bimmers) are daily driving. Here's mine (which I made a separate thread about last week). 2010 Mazda3 S Sport. Cheap, fun, good on gas. I decided I was not going to put my M3 though the paces of yet another winter here in the northeast. I'm bored and just waiting for track season to begin.

My 135.
I must admit I find it odd that people are shelling out a fortune on buying an M car and then NOT driving it..... Fair enough, a 25-30 year old M car or much older classic I can understand, but a new or almost new car

Seriously, I have owned five BMWs and after a few years each of them got chewed up by the salt, sand and other garbage they dump all over the roads here in the winter. I now have the means to buy a third car so I am trying that for now. Plus all of that salt and salt brine is very corrosive and harmful, especially to the suspension parts. |

I've owned and driven a Mitsu Evo VIII and Acura TSX while living here, and neither of them were babied during the winters here. Are Bimmer's particularly susceptible to rust? I only ask because I also have a set of the F30 rust-seat-frame syndrome, and that's with 5500 miles on the clock. If I would've known these cars were such wimps, I would've kept the TSX and just bought a used M3 for driving/garaging....

^Not serious. Would be cool though for a daily. The thread got me thinking about what would be a economical and unique daily driver and the isseta came to mind. My 135 is my daily.

Z4 35i daily/only.
Only bummer is my commute is just 3 hilly miles... which isn't enough to get the oil/turbos warmed up, or achieve higher than 17 mpg. I can't complain about the rest of the commute! Maybe when it gets warmer out I'll switch to the bicycle. |

My 135 is my daily. My GTO is my nice weekend car and puts down 503 RWHP on pump gas. The truck can be used for daily when I get tired of driving the BMW but the MPG on it is terrible. The WRX is my girls daily. The Bug is my restoration project/classic car that is almost done, finally! ha
