The 2015 F56 Mini is not quite as fun and darty, but it sure is a lot more comfortable, modern, and reliable. And more BMW-like.

I have four (4) BMWs. All are at a minimum over 100,000 miles. The oldest is 22, the youngest 11. Any one of them gets daily'd 80 miles and 1.5 hours from home when I commute to work. If a person is afraid to drive their modern car more than an hour away from home, they should either improve the servicing of it, or get rid of it.

I daily drive a MINI F56S with a tune and absolutely love it. It's a little rocket.

When I'm home I daily my F15 50i. When I'm at the cabin I park the F15 and do all my running around, what little I do, in a 2004 Ford Excursion. It's got some fairly mild Gale Banks mods on a PowerStroke diesel. Very comfortable, since the seat has been formed to my ass for almost 200K miles. It sounds pretty nice and it's a great gear hauler for trips to the hardware store, the rifle range...pretty much any occasion when you need a cavernous and beefy SUV built on a 3/4-ton truck chassis. I used to plow snow with it until I got a tractor for that.

I tried a blade mounted to our little Yamaha Grizzly 350 ATV, and it didn't work very well though it was really fun when it did. Hard to get the snow completely off the narrow driveway, so it kept getting narrower as winter went on. And when we got a 12" dump that was wet and sloppy on the bottom, it was useless as a second row of tits on a boar hog. The snow pushed the ATV, instead of the other way around.

That's all it needs. Weight is everything. I'd love If my little 128i weighed that amount. It feels pretty peppy now for what it is. Plenty for a daily that's fun.

Sound doesn't quite match that flat plane v8, though.

Just picked up brand new 2019 Nissan GT-R Premium in Solid Red with premium interior to replace my 2017 M3 Competition. This is going to be my daily driver, all 4 seasons, except when is salt on the streets.

2019 GTI Manual....FBO, some suspension mods, bits here and there, nothing crazy. It is my second FBO GTI since 2016 and I couldn't be happier with it as a daily driver....minus the factory clutch that cannot support any power gains hahaha

Traded in my M4 for a Model X which I'm dailying at the moment. Still have my Fiat 500 Abarth that I daily'd when I had the M4 but planning to replace it with a new weekender once I decide what I want.
