Daily Drive-How many km's/miles

Frozen Black · 04-06-2011, 02:23 AM

My M3 is my daily drive car. I only use it to travel to and from work, averaging about 65km per day.

I was wondering how far other daily drivers travel each day?

I often wish that I was a courier/delivery driver to enable me more daily drive time.

Have a very short commute, less than 15 min/3 mi. As an aside, is that too short and am I doing more damage on such a shrt commute, not enough time to get properly warmed up and such. The oil temp gets to the middle (210) by the time I get there but not long enough to actually get a reading from the computer in idrive. And yes wish I had more seat time.

Very short as well, 20km a day at max.

I drive to work about 5 miles each way, 3 times a week. That leaves me 4 days off to do my "fun" driving.

19 miles round trip - daily... !! wish it were longer.. the car is already dinged on the side and a rock chip on the windshield but hosestly its a small price to pay for driving such a fantastic car... I plan to rack up the miles over the next 4-5 years and then get the next gen M3

ihyln · 04-06-2011, 08:11 AM

180 miles a day about twice a week

Drive about 20-25 min to get to school and can reach operating temp no problem. Depending on traffic, like 45min-60min to get to work...15miles.

3 min daily commute. Roughly 3km. In the 1er needle doesn't move by the time I arrive.

VonSwoopington · 04-06-2011, 09:08 AM

From my apartment: 50 miles round trip
From my parents house: 30 miles round trip

besiktas · 04-06-2011, 09:14 AM

I drive about 10 miles each way to work, so 100 miles a week. If there is no trafic the car barely warms up by the time i get to work

Frozen Black · 04-06-2011, 07:52 PM

I get so frustrated waiting for the temp to warm up.

How do you get to warm up your M3 with such short travel distances?

yusammyyu · 04-07-2011, 01:33 AM

2.7 mile if from home to work, only need 7 minutes, and everytime couldn't get engine warm up when I get there, so everynight after 9pm I will go out 30 minutes for fun driving. sound crazy right?

I use every excuse to drive mine.

100 miles round trip on the world's most beautiful freeway 3-4 times a week. I'm at ~7500 miles after 4.5 months.
