My Ride: M6 E63 Sapphire black
Z3 Coupe R4Turbo Hellrot, semi race. (670bhp)
Z3 Coupe V8Turbo design work ongoing, full race.
Sold: 545i Titanium Silver
Treated like a toy, but used as a daily driver.
Doing about 1000Km (620miles) per week!
Still the car is treated as my best friend, washed a couple of times per week, additional service between regular periods, and all needed modding is added for pleasure
At daytime during the weekends, I use my 545 to cruize around town
But when the dusk is falling, and the stop lights needs attention, I disturb my neighbours with my Z3Turbo

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)
