It's not my daily but, as much as I find excuses to drive, it almost is. My work is only 15 to 20 min away (about 15 miles) and I've only driven it there twice in the month and a half I've had it.

Even with two other cars available to me, I always choose the M2. It's just such a blast to drive. I didn't spend all that money for it to sit in the garage, so I'm going to drive it till it don't drive anymore

Round trip is 40 miles for me. I drive it to work 5 days a week and whenever I need to or want to drive on the weekends. 17.5k miles on a MY17.

To each their own, but I just don't get that logic.

I buy a car to drive, not to sell.

Using that rationale you could save even more by not buying it in the first place.

Me? I drive mine every day. Unless I'm driving a different car or motorcycle. 6,200 miles so far this year & looking forward to putting on many more.

He meant to say low mileage.

Daily driver year round here in S. Fla. +/-20 miles round trip to work. I even get a chance to take my kids to school in the morning a few days a week. They love riding in the M2.

Its my daily driver, 20-25 miles, 35 mins to 2 hours each way depending on traffic. Fast moving or bumper to bumper, I love this car. Couple of more weeks and the bike rack goes on

My M2 is my DD during the non-winter months (Volvo during winter). Round trip to work is about 80km (50 mi).

Winters in Nova Scotia are really icy, and they put a lot of brine (salt) on the roads that I do not want sprayed all over the bottom of my car. Also, even with winter tires the driving dynamic would not be there and I would be constantly worried about the other guy (or girl) sliding into me.

I also travel for work a lot, so have only put 10,000 km (6000 mi) on it in 18 months. But when I am home and it is not winter, you can't keep me out of my M2!

I walk to work and my wife works from home, but I bought it to replace an aging 3 series so it'll soon be our only car. My wife probably drives the M2 more than I do!

Yup my M2 is a daily, although it is for sale and I want to get rid off it. Seems to be really hard!

I installed snow tires every year on my RWD 335i and I'll do the same with the M2.

Besides, it's not really me I worry about; it's the other asshats on the road. That and the road salt and other shit that's everywhere during the winter. My daily commute is about 60 miles round trip FWIW.

My M2 is not my daily driver but I do drive it 3-4 times per week when the weather is nice.

Secondary work vehicle for my landscaping business. When our truck breaks down, we load the M2 up with tools, mowers, trimmers, ladders, etc. Only way I could work out to get it was with a tax write-off. So we made due...

Just kidding. Mine is my DD. I have it fully covered in Xpel to protect it. I work from home though and don't ever "need" to go anywhere. I park it on the side of the street in my city too. No garage.
