Well do you? I drive it 18 miles everyday round trip for school but other then that the car just sits. "Keep the miles low" is the stupid argument I get when I question why.

I would be doing the same when I get older but right now my parents think its best to let cars sit. Does not surprise me at all the way my parents think. My dads friend bought a 07 E63 AMG with 34k miles 2 years ago and now the car still only has 36k miles.

I drive 20k miles per year. Let my ride sit in the garage? No way in hell. E60s are drivers' cars.

Only 14K miles per year? That's child's play. Maybe with the coilover on, you'll hit 20k per year.

Last year the E60 was driven hard. It had 22k miles last year and now it has 33k miles. But now we rarely drive it, I put about 360 miles a month.
Scott 20k miles a year . Do you work far away or just like taking long drives in the E60?
