Drive only when it doesn't rain or don't have to drive a kid around - mainly to work. Sometimes I use it to get groceries but if I get a ding, I'd be so ticked off!

Weekend/evening/general fun car. The 335 is my DD, but that is mostly due to the fact that it is auto.

Although, I must admit that the Z4M often gets the nod in the nice spring/summer mornings - not many things better than driving into the sunrise with the top down.

Daily driver for me. Dig the electric car. Once the prices go down on them I'll probably consider one. My commute to work is only 15 miles round trip.

I'm big on driving a CLEAN vehicle every day, so it really depends. I'm not about to hand wash my cars every day so during the nicer months I opt for the Z4, but otherwise I'll take my Yamaha R1 or sometimes the CLS63. The CLS63 has somehow turned into my "winter only vehicle" over the last couple years since it ends up sitting in the garage unused for weeks/months over the summer....go figure.

Sounds like an electric car would be perfect for you; BMW is coming out with the i3 in a year and a half which should be sweet. My daily driver is tons of fun to drive because of the almost instant torque but handling and steering feel aren't great so I put new wheels and tires (Michelin Primacy MXM4) on which markedly improved handling, cornering, pavement feedback, stop distance etc...

As a recent college graduate who is looking at several European cars including the Z4, why do so many of you only drive it on weekends?

Cause some of us are old bastards, with kids and/or jobs that require a vehicle with 4 doors, the majority of the work week!! Maybe that's just me......

Fun car; weekends, nights, and a few long distance work trips. DD split between my motorcycle and Expedition depending on the weather.
