What's your a main/side car?

G-Mann · 06-25-2015, 05:09 PM

Sold my weekender and DD to get my m235i so I did the reverse.

Two car payments, dbl insurance, maintenance etc all rolled into one nice m235i that I get to enjoy daily.

Before I buy a 2nd car, I think I would just upgrade to a nicer everything car like a M3.

Luftwaffe1O1 · 06-25-2015, 06:56 PM

The Z3 is a second car. Not really a daily, but I alternate weeks. Definitely enjoy the Z for weekend cruises along the beach.

I had an '85 RX-7 with the base, 4-barrel carb engine. I loved that car! I had to sell it in 1988. Bought a new RX-8 in 2004 and traded it in on my M235i last year. Another fine car. A little lacking in torque and a bit too much road noise, but a blast to drive on country roads. MPG sucked.

2011 X5d is the family wagon

DD/commuter/suffer-the-winter car is a Subaru Crosstrek.....2 Series is for fun, when the mood strikes, good weather, etc. Coincidentally, Crosstrek was exactly half the price of the 2. Nice solid little car, great engineering for the price point, nothing at all like a BMW, though, but what is?

NEUE02 · 06-25-2015, 08:56 PM

'14 Porsche Carrera S gets driven and tracked a lot. '12 VW Touraeg TDI is a hauler and sometime runabout. '96 Porsche Carrera 4S is a weekend ride.

'15 M235i is my wife's commuter and our runaround car. It was easy for me to "sell" her on this car because of the size. It replaced her '05 Audi S4 and she wanted something not-too-large. Cars, in general, have gotten so huge!

My daily is my M235
My side car is an NC Miata

SteveInfante · 06-26-2015, 10:33 AM

I daily my 228 and my wife has a Kia Sedona Minivan battle wagon that we have taken 60K worth of family road trips in across the U.S. And Europe. I have 4 sons so it made sense. She will trade it in when we get back to the states for whatever she wants.

SteveInfante · 06-26-2015, 10:34 AM

The 07 Suburban we traded the van for was killing us on gas during the gas price hike. $120 to fill up with 91 once. Week wasn't optimal.

Same here: DD is my '15 M235i. '13 Stumpjumper comp carbon, and 6'4" Al Merrick Flyer for the week ends.
Other than that, my wife drives a '15 Kia Soul! .

AWheeler · 06-27-2015, 02:13 PM

M235 is my daily driver and I wouldn't have it any other way

Awesome! My daily is my ///M235i and my side/hotrod is my LS2 powered Subaru Legacy wagon, 6MT of course. I call it LS2BARU.

3.0L · 06-27-2015, 03:52 PM

Does this qualify as a side car?

caycep · 06-28-2015, 12:37 PM

Highlander at the moment but was thinking of downsizing to Mazda3 hatch....but then again, the amount i drive, it may just make sense to get a Zipcar subscription depending on how much they want...

M235guy · 12-04-2015, 06:47 PM

Other is a 2004 Toyota Tacoma

Main is M235i

BEM-S4 · 12-04-2015, 07:37 PM

Got an Allroad for longer trips or crap weather. GF has a diesel 3 xDrive.

Hemisedan · 12-04-2015, 09:14 PM

Summer and nice days: 1938 Ford Std dare Sedan, 325 Dodge baby injected Hemi 325". Too many modifications to mention. I just call it my 1961 Hotrod. Wife drive her 2015 Toyota RAV 4. The m235i will be my daily driver after March 9th.

midwest 340xi 6sp · 12-04-2015, 09:53 PM

My DD is the M235xi...We just traded wife's X5 for an X4 so thats our worker, haul the dogs around driver..

Merc for hire · 12-04-2015, 11:47 PM

The m235i is a work horse. It's a good a year around drive and (young)people carrier.

HalfMoon · 12-05-2015, 12:31 AM

My daily driver is my new '16 m235i coupe (6 speed manual). My weekend/good weather car is a '16 Corvette Z06 with the Z07 package (7 speed manual). The wife drives a '15 Jeep JKU Rubicon Hard Rock.

So far, I'm loving the 2 after 1 week and 700 miles.
