Mine would be a daily driver if I worked at client sites still, but since COVID, my office has been at home. We got by with just the Macan and Caterham last year until the G87 arrived.

In some ways if we did go to 2 vehicles (Caterham is only used 6 months of the year, but is used for going to the shops in the summer), I would ditch the Macan and fabricate a custom tow bar for the G87 to tow the Caterham on it’s trailer to the tracks that are further away.

I just retired: if it’s raining or heavy traffic times I take my truck, otherwise I drive the M2 or the ‘75 2002. If I take the 9 year old to school I use the M2 as she loves the “Zoom Zoom” car.

I daily. Short commute, and some days from home. 4000 miles since April.
Time for winter wheels.
I left work today into a cold rain. With the new piggyback tuner, car was on skates. Couldn’t get any temp into the tires.

Nope, they're almost $20K off. People aren't buying $55K+ hybrid Wranglers lol. Great deals though.

Retired so no commute. Thus I don't drive the M2 (or my other car) every day.

But I drive the M2 for pleasure and some errands often. Weather permitting I try to drive it every 2 to 4 days. I say weather permitting because I don't drive it in the rain or snow. Don't want to bother with getting a set of spare wheels fitted with winter tires.

My other car which I alternate with driving the M2 or use it in bad weather is a 2023 MINI JCW (with a 6-speed like the M2).

Don't have pics of the two cars together. They are never out of their garages at the same time.

My JCW is the Island Blue car in the pic of the MINIs. (I traded in the Pepper White S. Guy in the pic is not me but the salesman, Jacob, at Loveland CO MINI where I bought the car. Very good experience buying the MINI JCW from Jacob.)

I drive a different car each day to work. Sometimes I’ll repeat depending on how I feel and if I want to play musical cars that morning. So, I guess I kinda daily the M2…

Mine is my daily, but I work remotely from home so I actively have to work to put miles on it. That being said i look for ANY excuse to drive it. Right now it is pretty much garaged while I wait for front bumper ppf on Monday.

I daily mine and I transport my 5 and 2 yr old in them so my backseat is completely occupied by childseats.
Got winter wheels and tires on a two weeks ago and gonna see how that works out. I still have my F22 228xi so may use that when the salt and snow start to bother me.

I don't daily mine, but it's just because I like to drive electric for my short commute. I feel like gas cars can't get up to temp.on a 5 mile drive. But if I had a longer or more fun commute I would. The car is a blast to drive.

What car seat do you use? I have a 2 year old myself and I plan daily until the snow hits us. I have 2020 rav4 that is technically the family car and I will use that for the snow days/ winter.

Honestly... The thing that worries me about skiing is parking lot pot holes.

yeah, im going to avoid some of the smaller mountains (think butternut, sunapee) with crappy parking situations for this year with it. we usually do okemo, killington, sugarbush anyway and have found those parking situations work fine for me now (current S4 ground clearance is within 2 tenths of an inch of the M2) so should be ok for the BMW.

but definitely not lowering the M2 at all, need all the space i can get...

I have a X3 M40i to go with the M2 on order. i absolutely love my x3 it will more than likely be driven 3-4 days out of the week.

but may look at trading that in for a truck to tow the m2 for long haul car shows.... and for the dogs..

I have the maxi-cosi emme 360 for my 21 month old because he is still rear facing so the rotation is much needed.

The booster seat I had to get a new one. I posted that on a thread here that you will be interested in https://g87.bimmerpost.com/forums/sh...6&postcount=27

Daily is a 21 Bronco Badlands 2door 7 M/T. Have a low mileage heavily modified 2020 STi as well that is getting evicted from the garage when M2 arrives hopefully next week👍 Will probably sell the Subbie but I don’t really want to.
