My experience is the opposite--that long commutes are the best miles you can put on a car, and letting them sit around parked for extended periods is about the worst thing you can do to them.
Um, OK. Quote:

Some folks with 328's ask the same question. Should they daily an Accord and save the 328 for weekends?
It's all relative. I sold mine b/c the area I live and work in isn't conducive for an M3 as a daily. If it had been all smooth highways, no fracking sand all over the road, no 1-ton work trucks dropping shit on the road all day, and no roads that flood when it sprinkles, I'd have probably kept it. Frequent fuel ups are a PITA, but if you live near a costco (I don't during the work week), get their Visa card and get 4% off their gas. 2008's are getting stupid cheap. Easy win as a commuter car. Just maintain it as SYT_Shadow stated and keep it stock is my recommendation until something needs replacing. This is assuming you've fully funded your 401k, have appropriate insurance for your life and long-term care (says the guy who had both parents in long-term care at the same time); essentially have your financial life together, then the ///M car as a commuter makes sense.

I agree with Innerblue, above...it is amazing driving this car on the open highways of Texas. I drive West everyday for work and it is >90% country roads. The pics above were how I did my drive just a year ago....I was 20 miles closer, but hey what's another 40 miles a day, right?
