Is your 2er your daily?
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

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.

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.

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. |

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.

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

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

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.

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).

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

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.

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! |

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.
