Nope mines a toy, but it does more miles than my daily, so no garage queen. Trip to work is only 9.5 miles each way and that's not far enough to warm the car up properly. So nice to get in from the office. Park up the Mazda, open the garage and pop out for a drive and a walk on the moors in the Zed. :D

My Z4 would be my only car if I didn't have to provide hospital transport, etc. to my 95 year old mother - even if she could get into it, she wouldn't be able to get out. :lol:

So my daily 325ti Sport does that job - sort of a pre-facelift 2.5 Coupe but with rear seats!
Coupes because stunning!
Current - Silver Grey MC, Imola Red heated Nappa & carbon trim. Aeros, H & R Coil-overs, 224s, OE Strut brace, Nav, cup-holders, DSP Hi-Fi, pdc, cruise, MFSW, no CDV! E90 330i daily
Gone - Montego Blue

My E86 and E46 share the daily drive workload. The E30 is totally spoilt and only comes out on nice days.

Yes, not a garage queen by any means.

Yes and No!

It's not my daily but my wife use it as her daily! Which I know might be madness but she only does about 25 miles a week (3 journeys) max. And it would be crazy to have 4 cars in the household so this was the solution. Means she gets a nice car to drive round in and I got to buy and play with an extra toy :D

Considering the same car! Or a Civic Type R.
Was considering a 135i convertible but that's 15-20k for the newer engine whereas a mini allows me to keep the z and only spend 5k to get a four seater. Nothing to do with it being a DD but more to do with 4 seats.
3.0si roadster. Requisite stubby. Sound gen mod. LED numberplate lights. LED boot strip. Interior lights LED too. ZHP gearknob. Daily drive :driving:
Motor in boot. Bilstein B8 dampers. New radio, much better sounds :thumbsup:

Interesting spelling of the word 'who'...

Mine is a daily and a couple of times a year ends up going to France to see family. So much quieter on their back roads, it's a total joy to get some space to play.

Daily is my Discovery 4. Wifes car is a Fiat 500 but new Golf GT on order for June. The beauty of the Z is it's like having a new car every spring when it comes out of Hibernation :thumbsup:
