That's a big change!

Then again, I currently pay $94 a month for my M3, and when I had the beater on the insurance, I paid something like $50-60 for the beater, and the M's was like $90. No savings worth mentioning.

The M3 was about $100 a month. Adding the other car lowered the M3 cost to $60 a month and the additional car was $20 a month. The M3 was changed to weekend "pleasure" usage with limited miles with the beater as daily driver. Same coverages.

dd my m3

superflywheel · 08-31-2013, 10:03 PM

I also dd my e92 and appreciate it every day. 2 kids, ages 9 & 5 get dropped off for school and they dig it too. Now I just need to talk my wife into something other than a minivan for her dd and family trips.

HeartMD · 08-31-2013, 10:54 PM

Daily drive either my 2013 honda accord or the M. Got the wife A 2012 X3 which I will use if we have a bad winter up here in Ct.

Shoney41 · 08-31-2013, 11:26 PM

I'm in a similar position with my wife being 5 months preggers. We just got her a 2012 VW Touareg TDI. That thing's a beast (over 400 lb/ft of torque and somewhere around 7,000 lb towing capacity). Drove it for a 700 mile trip this past week and AVERAGED 30 mpg. Very smooth ride -- I am very happy with the purchase (better than the other options I tested several times, including the X5).

As for me, I'll split time between my E92 and a 2002 Land Rover Discovery II.

Enzo08 · 08-31-2013, 11:40 PM

DD 2013 Jetta JSW TDI. Bad weather 1998 4-Runner. Good weather E92 M3.

TDI is for commuting back and forth between LA and Vegas.

How do you compare the M3 with the RS5?

Race_Doc11 · 09-01-2013, 01:25 PM

The RS5 is a very capable car however the M is the better car. Every time I drive the M I always think it is the best car I have ever driven....

Haven't been all that impressed with any audi at the track other than R8 V10. Seen a few ttrs and drivers must be new so hard to say with that variant.

blast1st · 09-01-2013, 01:51 PM

I have a 07 Honda fit as a DD! 35 bucks for a full tank!! Woot woot..

Seems like the DD should be the RS5 then, and the M being the reward for having to drive the RS5 for the mundane stuff.

My daily driver is a 2012 528i X Drive.. The car is modified substantially so it is always fun to drive either

duk · 09-02-2013, 04:05 PM

1MtoM3 · 09-02-2013, 04:42 PM

Daily drive a modified 2004 duramax diesel 500 hp / 800 lbs tq.
Used to Winter drive a 2003.5 e46 m3 before it spinnarooed on me on the highway for no reason

BYBY E46 . Loved it in the dry though, loved it as much as the E92. Weeknights and weekends in the dirty E92 . !!!

Mpatient · 09-02-2013, 05:18 PM

I-Drive the m3 over my other cars. The e28 gets the same mpg with a smaller tank

Its an m5 so it shouldnt be driven much anyway. The Mcoupe gets driven once or twice a week.

00 m coupe, e28 m5, e90 m3. Now I just need a prius

M3 Mod Master · 09-02-2013, 05:22 PM

i drive a 08 328i. I went from a 09 M3 to this car.

kawasaki00 · 09-02-2013, 07:29 PM

DD-2000 S10 Truck, also have a 05' Grand Cherokee.

JulieDriving · 09-02-2013, 08:20 PM

I looked at all kinds of vehicles but I didn't want to give up 'fun'.

9-year old miata. 6 MT.

If I were pregnant or driving around kids, I think I'd pick up an E90 335i. I prefer the steering feel of the E90 generation to that of the F30 generation.
