Is your 2er your daily?

Kevinduma · 02-22-2019, 07:31 AM

As the title says or do you guys have a daily warrior? I'm looking into getting one and curious to see what other car(s) you guys drive

p912guy · 02-22-2019, 09:10 AM

My M235i Cabrio is my DD and I wouldn't have it any other way. As you can see from my signature, I am also fortunate enough to have a truck for a multitude of other duties that my M235 can't handle. It's a great car, but not so "special" I feel the need to save it for good weather and weekends. In my mind, what's the point of owning something you don't use and enjoy, and I enjoy my car every time I drive to work, run an errand or take a road trip.

Black Sunshine · 02-22-2019, 09:12 AM

Not my daily, but I also live where the snow gets over the front bumper quite often this year.

aaaaah · 02-22-2019, 09:16 AM

Yes.

100" of snow and counting this season.

Bimmerg621 · 02-22-2019, 09:21 AM

It’s my one and only daily and super happy with it. I could not resist having this car as a weekend warrior anyway. This car is made to be daily driven. Drive the crap out of it and have fun.

Sir Thomas Bombadil · 02-22-2019, 09:24 AM

Yes to daily.

Makes the drive home after those long days at the office so much more enjoyable. Late night means a spirited drive home sans traffic.

DistantTea · 02-22-2019, 09:27 AM

I'll average 1000 miles a month on my M240i xdrive. Besides being too low to safely scoot the front end over parking markers it makes a pretty fabulous daily driver. I do wish the gas tank was about four gallons larger but I literally wish that on every car I drive.

Ron Jeffries · 02-22-2019, 09:53 AM

My 2018 M240i Convertible xDrive is my daily, summer fall winter spring. I bought it for that purpose and it has served marvelously.

arhoads335i · 02-22-2019, 10:08 AM

It's my daily I just turned over 84k on my m235i. I also have a diesel truck if it snows.

Zwei · 02-22-2019, 10:16 AM

M235i gets split daily duty with a 911. Mercedes wagon gets snow duty and carries cargo. MR2 for short hop trips on nice days with the top down. Lancia for special days and weekends.

happyjack · 02-22-2019, 10:32 AM

i'm clocking 2,500 miles/month on my 228ix...and my next purchase for a DD will be an M240 (likely a CPO, 4 years hence).

tennisfreak · 02-22-2019, 10:50 AM

Yes it is.

Over 20k miles in year 1

stevenvillatoro · 02-22-2019, 11:11 AM

100% daily duty. Why settle for less than full-time fun?

It’s always a joy to see your comments on here! Love your enthusiasm

Sportstick · 02-22-2019, 11:18 AM

Only interested in the 6 cylinders? Mine is DD if good weather and not headed to crowded/uncertain parking situation. Every drive to/from office is a fun time for traffic circles and cloverleaf ramps!

Otherwise, take the 330xi GT "family car" on lease.

Opps! Definitely not...title changed no disrespect at all.

Interesting, I know there's those that get every dollars worth out of their cars. I guess I should have worded it better, perhaps the 2 is a DD for some other car etc? Or maybe those who has a track set up etc. Anyone feel free to chime in!

Redsauce · 02-22-2019, 11:55 AM

DD here, which IMO, it is well suited for.
Except... doesn't like snow... I have RWD, and mpss so if snow Rav 4.

Mason Hatcher · 02-22-2019, 11:56 AM

I cannot fathom why one would not DD the 2. Unless weather prohibits

Door dings if headed to a mall, tight parking, etc. Very relaxing to arrive in a car where you don't mind if a chip later needs the blemish of touchup paint.

Yes, this. I’m changing jobs that will do a lot of highway driving, don’t get me wrong it will be driven but would be nice to have something else for those days it rains after I washed and of course rock chips etc.

I park waaaay out, and between the lines. I can't see paying that kind of $$ and not driving it.

I am not knocking those who drive other cars to protect the BMW.
