My DD is a 2013 Tundra Platinum Edition, which I plan on using to tow my E92 to the track!

My wife really likes her Mazda CX-9. It's a Grand Touring AWD. It's our trip car and we've put 120k miles on it in 5 years. And I don't hate driving it. It's a billy goat in the mountains, with plenty of power and an easy to downshift auto. Drove it all the way to Montana a couple years ago. Worth a look and a test drive - good value for the money.

Same thing we have for our "Family" trips, I like to drive it too, has a sporty feel to it. If it werent for our idiotic service dept here I would love it. Once they left a wheel loose, lost it at 60 going down the interstate. Made them buy that one back and we purchased another one, bit newer. Then we took it in before a trip to Colorado because it was leaking fluid from the transfer case, but they had just done a oil change and blamed it on an overfill. Well, we broke down in Dalhart Texas, look it up, middle of BFE!!! I was PISSED!!!! Anyway, been good ever since.

Damn. Glad you made it through that alright.

Thankfully our dealer's done a good job for us.

Damn Texas dealers are so afraid of a little competition.

I live in a dense part of the city and take public transportation most places, so the M3 is my all-the-time driver. And aside from fuel efficiency, it's as amazing at getting groceries as it is pounding a back road.

In the future, I'd probably want something efficient like a GTI or 335i as a daily with a Cayman or true sports car as my toy.

[track_warrior]

I alternate between a 2012 Golf Tdi and my 97 e-420. Golf gets 45+ mpgs and the merc gets around 26 highway which is better than the M3. We dont have extremely bad winters in texas but we do have lots of idiots driving in rush hour so i prefer to commute in another car.

This man has the right idea. Chuck some ATs on one and from the showroom you have a true mountain goat with room for 5 (8 if you're small), luggage, and 8,500lbs towing capacity. They cost a large amount more than most SUVs, but there's a reason that they're just about all the UN use in warzones.

Finally, while on road handling is of course not in the same league as an X5, I find driving the LC a lot of fun as it has that truck feel (body on frame, solid rear axle, 2.8-tons, 550 ramp score) and unique character which compliments something as sharp and polished as the M3 perfectly.

My DD: 09 Jetta with california edition: wheels, bluetooth, itouch/iphone attachment, and small spoiler on the back.

Sadly, my Chevy Tahoe is my DD. I just can't justify leaving my baby in the company parking lot for 9 hours sitting collecting dirt, bird crap and the dings from jealous co-workers.

I owned a 00 740i Sport and as you have stated it was very enjoyable. Big car that drove like a 3 series. Not as potent as my M3, but still had the emotional element.

GOD I wish I still on her.

My wife is 6 months preggers and I'm considering purchasing a car for her; she can't drive stick, and I doubt I would let her drive my M in any case.
I've got a great deal on a 2010 e350 4matic lined up, but was hoping to get something bigger for the winter, something Ram-esque or even Raptor-esque.
What do you daily drive in the winter? What do you let your pregnant, automatic driving wife get to her appointments in? I'm looking for inspiration.
I live in Jersey City, btw.

Go with the X5 Diesel

420 looks great with the AMG wheels. Very jealous of the lift. I wish I had enough room for one.

I would have assumed he was talking about an old land cruiser. Looks like a jeep.

DD is the Lexus is250 but when my GF works from home I take her S2K out. :-D
