Another Daily Driver

Rmv42158 · 06-30-2022, 10:47 AM

Good Morning - what is every one using as a daily instead of their M5? I'm leaning towards a smaller, older, higher mileage M3...am I crazy?

My 2013 M5 deserves a little break. She is at 75k !

Just cant see getting a Japanese car which I probably should. Thanks.

2018 Grand Cherokee Altitude .. awesome vehicle

Surly Karate Monkey. More miles per week on it than the car!

JDMSteven · 07-01-2022, 10:33 AM

I have an M6 but my daily for now is my 04 Lexus IS300 5 speed. It will soon be receiving a 2JZGTE swap with a single turbo and become a weekend toy. I really enjoy "older" vehicles as a daily driver, I don't care for modern luxury amenities or driver assist features. Might be picking up my uncles 02 Acura 3.5RL with 99k miles in a few weeks as a new daily once I start the engine swap process in my IS.

I agree. I’m thinking a Z4 M coupe or E46 M3

I have an e46 m3 that I used to daily. Around here, it's easier to daily something without 3 pedals. And the F10 is more comfortable. I guess I'm getting lazy as I get older.

The F10 DCT is the best all rounder for every traffic situation, the creep forward mode is a boon.

Rmv42158 · 07-05-2022, 02:35 PM

Yeah torn - Z4 coupe, E46, or Porsche 997.1.

Yellowbee · 07-05-2022, 08:06 PM

e39 530i M sport. One of the best all around BMW’s. My back alternate.

JDMSteven · 07-06-2022, 10:37 AM

Beautiful E39! I'd love to have an E39 540i Sport, but so would a lot of people lol

etnsandman · 07-09-2022, 08:18 AM

My Competition is at 105k, I bought her to drive. Hope to see 200k.

Keep driving the M5 and get an M3 for a weekend toy.

I have a m6 vert but picked up a 2013 a6 prestige 3.0t. Super reliable awd with a crank pulley intake and a cheap piggyback it’s a running high 11s and 3.6 sec 0-60. Handles great and super comfortable. Looks identical to an s6. Had a f10 535i m sport as my daily with all the m performance exterior stuff.

G.Ride Garage · 07-13-2022, 08:04 PM

2018 Abarth 500. I'm thinking of selling it for a older BMW though.

My DD is a 2017 Explorer Sport and now that we're back in the office I take the beast in a few days a week. Slowly creeping up towards 21k miles :-)

550i vs m5

spiff · 07-19-2022, 01:33 PM

Both V8's, both diesels. The 03 has some fun stuff on it.

yoogene · 07-23-2022, 02:27 AM

Just picked up a 2010 IS250 AWD from a buddy as he departs for Germany. Gave me a smoking deal on it and it rides good enough.

Just finished up doing the engine oil, transmission and diff fluids, cabin and air filters, and a tire rotation today. Got it aligned and it's running pretty smooth now. I am looking for a walnut blasting service here in Korea though, I have a feeling it's got a ton of carbon buildup and I don't have the patience to mess with the chemical route.
