Hello, I understand if you need to drive a truck to work or if you have a couple of nice cars that you bounce between, but why dd some old car that doesn't have all the nice features of your 3 series

I can't imagine letting my M3 sit in the garage while I drive a hoopty every day. What's the point, may as well sell it???

I have a 100mi+ commute round trip, so it makes sense not to drive my "nice" car every day at this point. It would depreciate 5x faster and require much more maintenance if I did.

I drive a 4Runner with a ton of miles. There's quite a few reasons actually:
- I have 2 big dogs. 0 chance they are going to ride in my M3, which has an absolutely mint interior. Not to mention I can run to Lowe's and throw all the crap back there
- My commute is only 10 mins away. That's barely long enough to get engine warmed up
- I can park at the grocery store or downtown and never worry about door dings. The car is 17 years old.
- Parts are cheap cheap cheap on a Toyota.

Having said that, I get bored easily with cars, so I might be replacing the 4Runner with this Clubman S. It coincidentally matched my M3

A 3/4 ton diesel crew cab (Denali HD). (This is not, I suspect, demographically consistent with others who own an M5 on this board, I'm sure; M5s can't pull boats...). The M5 is driven to work on days when I know the weather will be good.

I mix it up, Either My 2011 X5 (most days), 2011 Mustang Convertable (at least a day a week), or 2008 Harley Ultra all year except when there is snow on the roads.

Clubman didn't work out.

New DD (Light track day car):



Still going to keep the 4Runner as it's cheap to run but very useful.

I use to daily drive the E92 but my hours shifted a bit and I just sit in traffic so I recently leased a 2014 Lexus CT200h. It's very quiet and very comfortable and 50mpg on 87 octane is hard to sneeze at. I have the E92 for 'spirited driving' and a 600RWHP 300ZX for really spirited driving.

I think it's funny how those with 1 cars respond to this thread. Maybe it's just me but "what's your daily" implies you have a 2nd beater/commuter car.

I'm surprised how low the F-sport model sits considering it's a Prius lol. Don't get me wrong, I love the car and am seriously considering as my next daily. I drive 80 miles R/T for my commute so it makes sense.
