G87 owners, do you daily your M2?

rons e92 · 11-21-2023, 04:19 PM

Curious to see what the other G87 owners are doing.

I've been daily driving my M2 since I got it 7/8/23 and have over 8k on the car already. I love driving this thing.

That being said, I have been playing with the idea of picking up a daily. Tried to lease a Civic in September and the dealers here were such a rip off ($7k ADM on a lease!) I just decided to keep driving the M2. Also considered picking up something for under $10k cash, but didn't want something unreliable. Plus I have my girlfriends Bronco Sport if I really needed it, although I'm not a huge fan of driving that thing.

This got me wondering, how many G87 owners daily their car vs keep the G87 as a weekend only car and daily drive something else.

If you have a daily, what do you drive?

Excited to hear your responses. If you have a daily, post a picture with your M2.

JustinHEMI · 11-21-2023, 04:38 PM

No, my X3 M40i is (will be) my daily (currently a Mazda CX-50). When I get an M2 again, it's my weekend car. HOWEVER, I am moving to Tennessee in a few days, and I may be able to drive it all year round vice parking it november to april like I do in PA. I'll have to see how they treat the roads and such.

M2 CCO · 11-21-2023, 04:49 PM

It’s my daily!

matty_f · 11-21-2023, 04:53 PM

Wife’s daily, but I’ll drive it when I’m too lazy to move it out of the way to get to my car 😂

RemoWilliams84 · 11-21-2023, 05:09 PM

If it puts a smile on my face daily, why not drive it daily?

Alabama winters are mild. If it snows everything closes down anyway. This is not a super car and has all the modern creature comforts. Drive it.

rippernash · 11-21-2023, 05:11 PM

It's my daily. I drive it to work and use it for short runs to the stores. Spouse has a Q5 that is better for longer road trips and luggage carrying when needed but I don't use that otherwise. I feel the G87 can really settle down and be comfy when needed in efficient mode

AZG87 · 11-21-2023, 05:21 PM

My daily as well. Only in office twice a week and it's not a bad commute. The rest is just the gym and wherever else the day takes me. In AZ where we can drive year round with no issues.

Lagunatic · 11-21-2023, 05:22 PM

Yup it’s my daily! I put about 500 miles a month on my car 😂

Squidget · 11-21-2023, 05:41 PM

My daily until the salt goes onto the roads. Then the 335i will come out. Next year I'll sell the 335 and buy winter tires.

darkborne · 11-21-2023, 05:43 PM

It's my daily

M_Power Rob · 11-21-2023, 05:44 PM

Was daily before pulling the ecu...will continue to be daily when build is complete.

DarkNight707 · 11-21-2023, 05:44 PM

Yes, my daily. After getting the g87 I sold my well kept 2009 E82. Even when I baby it, the car was starting to show it’s age (no, shit!). What a great car! Had 53k miles on it. Should be driving the g87 more than the E82 since dont want to drive any othe car. What a great “problem” to have.

The struggle is real lol! Honestly though can't imagine living somewhere having to change wheels/tires or vehicles based on season. Granted we get 3 months of pretty solid heat but then 9 months of amazing weather. But even those 3 hot months that weather doesn't prevent driving you just deal with higher iats and heat soak at the track or even dd.

Bumpinjeep · 11-21-2023, 06:22 PM

It's my daily in the PNW. I used my F87C as my daily as well. When things really turn to shit, I put snow tires on the wife's GTI. Though, I may end up leasing a 4Xe Wrangler because they're like $300 a month. Might be worth it.

a358970751 · 11-21-2023, 06:24 PM

currently have g42 m240 as daily car , but will purchase Honda odyssey this weekend , and have m2 as weekend car

Reminds me of that line from the original get shorty movie. "It's the Cadillac of minivans"

LCDRJohn · 11-21-2023, 07:31 PM

Yup, drive it everyday.

What great lives we live to be able to drive a car like this on the regular. Not long ago, this would have been a supercar!

c1pher · 11-21-2023, 07:40 PM

Yes it’s my daily. My 911 is the weekender.

apez · 11-21-2023, 07:49 PM

It is my "daily" - snow tires and all, but I work from home and can use my SO's X3 on super bad days. Tomorrow will be first wet/snowy drive.

$300 a month for a 4Xe? Did you leave off a digit?

turo · 11-21-2023, 09:12 PM

Daily here as well. My commute is short, so I only drive ~500 miles each month. I have a 340 xdrive that is my wife’s daily, and a ‘11 335i that was my old daily, but it’ll be up for sale soon since the g87 is such a great daily for me.
