What's your favorite way to share your 2 series?

SOLOMEK · 05-20-2020, 01:34 PM

My daughter (12) regularly asks to go for a drive. What a great way to connect. She also asked if it could become her first car. What do you think

or

But hands down, my favorite way to share my ride!

You?

My daughters were 3 when I bought my car and they immediately starting asking for rides in my car whenever possible. One of them was probably 4 or 5 when she started asking if she could have it when she was old enough to drive. (Yes, one of my daughters at the age of 5 was already worried about getting a drivers license; she loves to drive!)

I'm with you on connecting with your kids in the car, but my answer to my daughter was a resounding NO. The reality is, with the amount of miles I drive, I don't see this car reaching 14 years of age so I could transfer it to her (I did not tell her that). What I did tell her is that there's no way I'm giving up this car until I absolutely have to, so she'll have to get one for herself!

Driving slowly through the neighborhood after a wash and wax, windows down and sunroof open and appreciating my ride as the neighbors turn their heads toward the car and smile. The little rumble from the performance exhaust perhaps making the car even more enviable.

I don't buy cars for anyone else to notice, but fortunately my son shares my love of them.

Same here. After my son shared my excitement and enthusiasm now 6 years into owning my 228i, he did the only logical thing being young and single to keep the "sharing" spirit alive...

Just had his 1200 mile service on his new 2020 M2C.

Mine enjoys trying to "one up" his old dad as well.

I'd tell your daughter she can have it when she graduates from medical school - anything sooner would be giving me hives thinking about letting her go so soon. My favorite way to 'share' is to be that crazy guy who is out in the driveway hand-washing his car during a snowstorm.

I think we are all some kind of bat sh! crazy when it comes to our rides. I would run to the car wash in the middle of winter, knowing that my car would stay clean for a few minutes. Worth it.

You can look but don't touch.

I ride alone in my 2. My X3 is for everything else.
