Your Other Car?..What else do M2C owners drive?

keylime503 · 05-19-2021, 12:26 PM

Other half of the garage has an F56 Mini Cooper S but I don't drive that very often because it has manual seats which are a pain to get back to where you had them when switching between drivers.

My DD duties are split 70/30 between my M2C and my extremely unreliable 2007 X3. It's basically worthless to sell at this point but it's our hauler, tahoe/roadtrip car, and our only car with 4 doors and 5 seats for when we have company.

A very minty '81 280ZX that's been in the family since new. About 38k miles on the clock.

"Goldfinger"

Very nice!

My nephew inherited my Dad's 1983, I was there when my parents picked it up brand new. I have 1978 280Z that I have owned since I was 16, which is a long time ago for me. I also own a 1976 that has 30k miles on it.

GTI is my Bad weather daily driver and track car, M2 is my nice weather daily driver, and the Ferrari is my toy (front end lift is up in photo

).

GTI is my bad weather daily too. Ferrari is still a TBC.

I've lost count. I bought one of THE very first '83 Rabbit GTI's to land at dealerships in November of '82. Many more since, including the original .:R32, and 2 R's including my current DD.

@Poochie
I live in a city designed for a million max but has 5xs more, little damn zig zag horse trails that are now streets/avenues, homes quadruple the national average

You need to be clever/sneaky, my brother was house hunting, down to a couple houses one that was a great deal fugly/dated but in the best area behind Harvard Sq Cambridge MA (New England Dream) instant equity after some cleanup the other was just ok but in a shitty boring area and way overpriced for the comps in Waltham BUT with a big garage (Cambridge money but no Cambridge?!?)

I pushed him to buy the house with the garage so I can put a car in it... no other reason

I've used a sea sucker on my GTI for the last 3 years. I highly recommend it!

KPM2C · 05-22-2021, 06:34 AM

For now the other car is the wife's Ford Focus Mark IV clipper.... but I'm expecting a company car in the next weeks... still have to choose BMW, Audi, VW or Volvo... M2C will become a real weekend toy...

Kankles · 05-22-2021, 10:20 AM

Wife's car (kid hauler) Ford Focus st line wagon. I talked her into the 6mt haha. It's nothing special but actually very fun to drive (eco boost engine isn't too shabby). I also have the moto addiction with a KTM SDR1290 and a garage queen RC51 sp1 w low miles.

If I do anything I'll probably just go with the BMW option. It's only about $200 and I like that it bolts directly into the roof rails.

But I'm not sure I'd even use a rack on the M2C. I only mtb and most of my driving to trailheads involves shitty gravel roads. It seems much more appropriate to treat the drives as a rally stage with my Fiesta.

///MCollection · 05-22-2021, 01:39 PM

I am very fortunate to have an X5m for long journeys

A classic Land Rover I use very infrequently (such a shame)

The misses also has an M4 and we have an old Mitsubishi l200 as a beater

A bmw k1300r, Kawasaki zx12r, ccm 644ds and a Honda c90 complete the far too large collection

The M2 sure dates the Z3M when looking from the rear though

I think the m2 side by side to the Z3M makes the M2 look like a bloated pig!

MK7 R. One of the best cars I ever owned. I miss it every day despite my M2C.
