2006 z4mc- (22km) 13k miles

dean911 · 04-29-2013, 08:14 PM

'07 Z4MC Bought it in November 2012 with 26K on the clock and put it away for the winter. Spring is here and I drive it every day. I have a '01 Dinan Z3 with 86K on it and plan on turning both of them well into the 6 figure category.

Some time ago I read a post that said keeping your car perfect is like not doing your girl friend and saving her for the next guy. That is not a quote but it tells the story.

My plan is to turn these over to the next guy who wants a car he can fix. I enjoy driving them way too much to keep them out of traffic or the rain.

Enjoy the journey. The destination is way over rated.

^ if you have the time. my field of work wont allow me to drive a sports car around. and i usually spend evenings around the house or out with the family. to me, that makes the coupe more exciting to drive everytime i do on weekends or out with friends or just my wife. this thread however isnt a debate of how you should use your car.

2005 3.0 roadie, 3-season daily 105k kms ( 65K miles)

valentino501 · 04-29-2013, 09:52 PM

07 z4mr ~ 33k miles. Bought used, put about 500 miles so far! My only car so it is my DD.

David70 · 04-29-2013, 09:54 PM

2006 Z4M - 33k miles - not my daily driver.

Work out of my house or travel so only real time to drive it is on weekends or occasionally after work if I am in town.

Z4MGTO · 04-29-2013, 09:55 PM

Got mine a month ago with 43000. Since then I've already put over 1000 miles on it...

Roadie · 04-29-2013, 10:05 PM

2008 3.0si coupe 26000 miles

bluecobra · 04-29-2013, 10:10 PM

2006 Z4MC, 94k miles. Not a DD, as I have other vehicles to drive when it rains, etc.

Finnegan · 04-29-2013, 10:30 PM

2007 MC 39k miles. About 5k/year. Mostly a weekend car.

2008 M Coupe - daily driver - 55,000km

It's driven 4 seasons, including Canadian winters, and my 65 lb dog sits in the passenger seat when necessary.

It's a car. I use it.

mtrhed · 04-29-2013, 11:14 PM

Cool dog! Love it!

2006 M Roadster 62K

XMetal · 04-29-2013, 11:43 PM

Agreed. I actually feel guilty when not driving it enough. It's depreciating anyway regardless...mind as well enjoy it. Life is short...use it if you got it as the 'old say goes

It's doing great! Had Inspection I done again last February. Dealership said there was a leak and wanted $2200 to replace the entire oil pan. I had my mechanic checked and he said it was only a little bit by the drain bolt and it's nothing to worry about.

jeebus87 · 04-30-2013, 10:25 AM

07 3.0si coupe. 51.8k now. Bought it one month ago and have put almost 1700 miles on it, more than double what I usually do. Love this car!

SD ///M4 · 04-30-2013, 11:24 AM

2006 Z4 M Roadster

Purchased new by original owner in August 2007 with 96 miles and traded in to a dealer in June 2012. The original owner had a motorcycle that he rode most of the time.

I bought it in July 2012 with 31,800 miles and drove it 525 miles home. Current mileage is 37,149 miles. It's my primary car but I'm currently retired so it's used primarily for errands, autocrossing, and canyon carving.
