Poll: Do you use your Z4 as a daily driver?

Post by warmasice » Fri Apr 21, 2017 9:05 pm

I've noticed discussions about getting Z4's back on the road, taking them off SORN etc. This made me wonder, how many of us use our Zs as daily drivers? :driving:

mine is very much a toy, 3rd or maybe 4th in the pecking order

Daily is a 520d, weekend classic Triumph Stag, weekend out with the boss 420d convertible.

the Z is really for me to get to and from work on nice days. Bit over the top I know but will do about 3000 miles just to and from work between now and September weather depending
now I'm about to have more time I've suddenly got less toys to play with!

I'm considering getting a second car for daily driving while my Z still has low mileage (35k) but I'm not sure when I wake up in the morning and look at the daily and then look at the Z I would ever use the daily, unless it was an M3, M4 or M2.

Spoilt for choice atm.
Extended loan of a Tesla P90D means that the zed has been relegated.
I'll be taking delivery of a Mercedes Sprint van from the same client to travel between Hamburg and Vleuten for the next 6 months. Unlimited mileage and diesel expenses so I'll be abusing that like one of Jimmy Savile's totp invitees :lol:

Yep, it's a daily, used all year round... though not every day as I don't commute in it anymore, but it's out whenever I need to go somewhere without both other members of the family.

Mine used to be. Then I got married and we bought a house with a "garage" which was a novel idea after moving out of London. Always said I would give her some rest once I got a garage. So I did. Now I have a 330d estate as my daily and workhorse!

So not a daily drive. Rest of it was unwarranted.

Don't use as daily drive - I use the 335xd - no real difference in performance with the 35is
You don't stop playing when you get old - You get old when you stop playing!
So I bought a 35is with all the toys to play with. :thumbsup:
