Poll For How you Drive your M3!!!

Hey Everyone, wanted to get an Idea how everyone Drives their M3: Please feel free to add details on how long of ownership and how often: Please Vote:

1) Your M3 is basically a daily driver for commuting.

2) Your M3 is Basically a dedicated Track Monster!!!

3) Or Both, mix with Daily and Track Days!!!

*** weekend warriors*** falls under daily driver since there are 7 days in a week just 1-2 days versus everyday. IMO

Last edited by GotV8?; 01-13-2018 at 09:44 PM.. Reason: add a 4th option to poll

None of the options apply to me. I only drive the car occassionally for leisure predominantly, no track, no commuting.

Personally, its a form of therapy if you will to get out for a nice drive.

None of the above. I have a daily that lets me drive in the carpool lanes and a dedicated track car. I bought the m3 as a fun "friday" car to break up the boring daily driver.

I did try to do a daily commute in my car the other day to go to a job interview, the airport is 15 minute highway drive away from my house, it took me 1hr30mins in bumper to bumper traffic.

Hmmm, I don't really fit in any of the groups. I work from home and most of the time when I travel for work, I use a car service to get to and from the airport. 2-3 times a year I'll take it to local meetings. I don't really track it, but hope to at least do one track day in the future--possibly 1-2 autocross events this year.

Boof His n her M’s. Awesome.

No commute, occasionally drive to the airport or Uber there. Grocery getter only because I love driving it so much. It can sit for weeks though as we use my wife’s car a lot as my driving makes her a bit nervous.

Haven’t tracked it yet.

Really tough to drive these cars without gusto.

Thank you for everyone who posted and voted, If you only drive once in a while, than I guess its a day of the week or month (respectfully) point taken.

I wish I could drive mine more — I bought it to drive not to park while I drove a truck or commuter car. But I have two fun cars — a turbo 99M3 with 700 rwhp and the 08M3 and only drive about 15k per year so they each see about 7-8k per year. In the 7 years I gave owned my 08M3, I have put 60k on it (has 90k total).
