while looking at a few threads here i have seen that some (most it seams) treat there E60 as a toy & not as an every day run around?
i use mine as a runaround, and have a few toys that i dont eat/drink in and tend to "pamper" a little.

so im curious, how many of you use your car everyday, and how many as a "weekend" toy?

for weekends i use my 2006 skyline r35, or my land rover defender 90 challenge truck (for playing)

I split my daily driver duties between the 550i and an X3. The 550i is then used for weekends and trips, the X3 for inclimate weather, hualing my bike around, aand other errands.

thats why i use mine as an every day car, i cant beleive that for a large luxury saloon it returns 40 mpg, i have never owned a car that returns over 30mpg before, this was a breath of fresh air.

e60's are day to day utility vehicles -- haul crap around, etc. These are for quick trips to the mall
