What do you use your 318ti for?

[ElementalFiend]

Just curious.. we all buy ours for different reasons, what is yours for?

Choose the option which BEST fits you and your car.. since many people will find they fit in more than one of the categories.

[GDB]

I'd say I fit everything but the secondary car option

I use mine as a daily driver. How could you own a car like that and rarely drive it? It's so fun to drive.

[slammed_ti]

daily driver and i take it to shows

[city]

Daily driver except during winter, and also my project car.

[Tyler]

Drive it year round,no matter what the weather is. I put about 2500-3000 miles a month on my car. Which sucks but atleast it's all highway driving.

[cali-ti]

daily driver, every day, all year ... 208k and counting ... going for 400k :)

[m44ic]

not driven in the winter for the most part. otherwise daily driver.

[prd318ownr]

Well, bein that a few of my other friends have beemers, I became found of them and had to get one myself.. And since my other friends have hondas, I wanted to spank em around when we go out.....

My daily commuter car is an '05 325i. That's how.

[nick_hegel]

Daily driver through the winter and my little weekend warrior!!!!

[tEso]

actually i drive my car a lot and I use it in every purpose from crusin with it 2 going to my work with it..!
its a gr8 car.. !

[stormos]

Everything, but the average working day puts a minimum 100 miles on the clock :(

[twomato]

Trusted steed for daily work commute of 80 miles @ 80 MPH. Wish I didn't have so much traffic (Chicago) so that I could have bought a 5 speed. Just filled up yesterday @ $2.79/gallon and got 30 MPG - love it.

[m-technik_ti]

Daily driver, and the company that does the work on it occasionally takes it to shows.

[5litrarag]

Strictly daily driver duties since its not the fastest or most fun car that I own. :)

[michaelhofastcar]

I use my ti to practice drifting and high performance driving.
This is a very fun car to toss around in empty parking lots, esp. on wet surface. More thrill than any front-wheel/all-wheel drive cars.

[dodj]

Daily driver. I drive at least 150 kilometres a day. and i need to use my car for work so i drive all over town up and down the coast for work.

i plan on driving it for a few more years, then buy another daily driver then it will become a project car.

[Seanl]

Everyday driving for me and what a pleasure!!!!!:biggrin:

VERY NICE CAR!!!

[Avus /5]

Seeing how my commute these days is via bus, my ti has become my weekend driver. My '94 Toyota pickup is my daily driver now -- a little over a mile to the park & ride, where it sits in the elements all day.

As for why I don't drive to work: easy 25-minute bus ride in the express lane vs. 1+ hour in Seattle gridlock and $8/day parking downtown.

What would you do? :)

[LN318TI]

i use it as a snow plow in the winter and a fast little sports car in the summer (just kidding about the snow plow but sometimes it feels that way lol)

[needle332rur]

My TI is used for everything

[stormos]

i use mine as my work slag. 30k in 6 months and planning to another 100k over next 18 ;)

I have a ton of cars. But the BMW is my daily driver. I put 90+ miles on a day with my commute. The only thing I find with the car is that the stock seats suck. To me they are very uncomfortable. I am 5'11" and 225 pounds. New seats are planned for the future. I do have a spare set of Sparkos, but those are fixed back design... need access to rear seats.

[BMWbeauty416]

It is a daily and my lil Ti hasn't seen track time besides just at the local road course - no passing without signal kinda thing - driving hard but not like RACING

~*Teg*~

[PeteN95]

It's my new daily driver and plan to do some Auto-X and maybe some track days.

[Etienne]

every day... as much as possible :).

[Mothman]

I am right there with you, all highway!

Drive it year round,no matter what the weather is. I put about 2500-3000 miles a month on my car. Which sucks but atleast it's all highway driving.

[halobeamin]

my car drives me. but shhhh

don't let it know i said anything... it gets angry.

[halobeamin]

but it's my fun car, my work car, my project car, my show-off car, my rider, my pimp, my everything.. great car.

[adempster1]

Every day ride

[raj27]

my daily driver and project car

[NOBOGYZ]

Just turned 50,000: I use in summer to commute

[twomato]

Grocery gitter - beater.

[the51]

My daily commuter car is an '05 325i. That's how.

Why put the miles on the 05 tho?

[dead4ever]

Daily driver during the week, tight corner seeker on the weekends. This is not the fastest car I have ever owned but it does go around a turn like no other.

[96cali]

I hauled 11 6' tall fruit trees home inside the car last night. :redface:

[PeteN95]

Hatchbacks rock! I don't know why everyone in the US hates them?

[upstatenybimmer]

daily commuter(summer)/project car.

[Mad-Machine]

I am buying mine for a daily driver and fun car to tinker with. I already have secondary car that is in pieces and getting restored and modified... a 77 Fiat 124 spider

[nz318ti]

Wow you guys drive huge distances in your cars!!! I don't drive my 96 very often as almost everything is in walking distance including my work and its quicker to walk than to take the car and warm it up properly. I have only used one tank of gas and had the car a month.

[led_zeppelin84]

I use my everyday, its my only ride, and she's all i need, school and work, gotta grind...

[Manimillion]

I use mine for everyday commute, it is great on gas, fun to drive, makes the most boring commutes like a walk in the amusement park.

[thesk8nmidget]

everyday drive/project car

looking for another fun car to daily drive while i work on this one :)

[Borg561]

Daily driver and my first real fun car. First car was a '98 Cavalier 2.2L with a 3-speed auto, then I had a '95 Mirage LS coupe 5-speed that was about as reliable as the ability of snow to survive 70F weather. It was more fun than the Cavalier since it was lighter and had a 5-speed (not to mention about a 30% increase in gas mileage).
