I live and work in Manhattan and take the subway to work. All my driving is on the weekends. Victor and I love to drive. That's why I have the 550 amd not something more sedate.

Well equipped. Let the mods begin!
I plan on driving m5 07 550 every day commuting 65 miles/day + weekends. When the winter hits, then it'll drop to around 200 miles/week I'd guess...but who knows? I buy cars to enjoy (on the road)...not for just special occasions.

Cars like ours were made to be driven. I love driving her and in the 2 yrs that I've owned her I put almost 40,000 
That's why it deserves the title "The Ultimate Driving Machine"

My Ride: E60
Model Year: 2006
Engine: N52
I'm sorry but BMW's are meant to be driven NOT looked at especially the E60. 
I really don't get it. Car's are depreciating assets yet all people seem to think about is resale value.
Who honestly gives a shit?! If really you do I would like to congratulate you.
You now have a car thats worth a few grand more than mines yet one you didn't enjoy nearly half as much.
Oh yea and to answer the OP's original question before I went on my rant I drive the car every single day EVERYWHERE!
To work, the gym, the mall, the hood, the city, the mountains, in the rain, in sleet, in snow and hurricane winds.
Average daily mileage when I was at my old job was about 60 miles. Currently its about 10 a day.

My baby girl gets driven everyday!
She will be 6 years old on 24 June and is just about to top 61K for mileage. When I bought her last year in January, she only had 37K on the odometer.
Drive it like you stole it!
