How many miles do you average on your Z4/Z4M?

Just curious how many miles do you average on your Z4/Z4M per month?

Right now I'm around 1,500-1,800 miles per month on my M as I use it as a daily driver.

600 -1000 / month as a DD, but I'm very conscious about putting the miles on it.

~1200-1400 if I drive it all the time. I have an old Jeep I use for bad weather and Home Depot runs (or CostCo......frickin' CostCo). That average range drops once winter hits, though....it's all Jeep from then 'till spring.

In 4 months I've put about 3000 miles on it, which is more than I've driven in the past (my commute is only ~3 miles), and I haven't DDed it since 2 months ago. This car makes you want to drive!

Probably not going to drive it during the winter unless it's completely clear (no salt, no snow, no ice) out.

About 50 or 100 miles a month. Enough to heat up the oil and burn off any condensation.

^50 to a 100 is so few for such a magnificent car! agree with dekaliber in how insatiable the desire it is i feel everyday to just drive the m coupe. i've put 5300 miles in 3.5 months now, and i don't even daily drive it! work commute every other day is 0.5 miles.

got the car with 2500, and loved it so much i couldn't stop driving it. racked up 10k miles in about 8 month time when i claimed the Z as my 2nd car. insurance sent out the mileage check form and i was honest about it and they raised my rates saying i'm putting too many miles so i kind of backed off a bit but love the car..

I've put on about 7000km (4200 miles) in 4.5 months and it's not my DD either. In another 7 weeks she will be going into hibernation for the winter too.

Ha! You live in the Chicagoland area...good luck with that. My favorite are the little salt mounds in the middle of the roads.

I'm sometimes tempted to take the coupe out it the winter, but will only do it if there hasn't been much road salt laid out and we get a few good rains....which is never until spring time. I have to run over stuff in the Jeep to keep the driving excitement up in the winter. Driving it normally makes me miss driving the coupe very much. At least I get to say hi to it passing thru the garage. You guys are right...the car definately makes you want to drive it.

I have been doing about 1000/month and she is not my daily driver :-O

I have been taking her out every chance I get and I tend to really rack up the miles on weekends. I am trying to take pictures to be the mid-states RickF, but I am failing so far. Too hard to stop and get out of the Z!

I suspect this winter she will see very little road time.

Had my car for 3 months now and bought it with only 7,700 miles on it. I'm doing just over 1,000 miles/month, which should allow me to time my inspection 1 just before my warranty/free maintenance period expires in 1/11. After reading how the tech's usually blow off the valve adjustment, now I'm questioning whether it's worth putting the miles on it to get this service done. In any event, I love driving the car as my DD and plan to keep it for quite a while.

x2 Nothing beats a BMW/Jeep combo. M sleeps all winter while the Jeep earns his reputation in snow

When I bought the car a couple months ago I was weary of putting miles on it, but now I've changed my mind. It's a car and it's meant to be driven. I got mine with 21,300 miles late July and it currently has 24,900 miles on it. I figure I might as well drive it so anything that might go wrong with it does while the warranty is still active.

I've had the car for just over 2 months and put 1571 miles on it, so @ 700 miles per month as a NON DD. Will be stored from Nov 1 thru Mar 31 though!

Six months, and about 4,000 miles. It wasn't my daily driver when I got it, but thanks to my newly licensed 16-year-old son who took over my Jeep, it is now. Driving this car is so much fun, I have no problem putting miles on it!
