It's always dickhead kids that ride with their buddies who are probably driving daddy's car. Because they literally look like high schoolers.

And i would take the bait, except this is always done in traffic. Plus i'm on summer tires.

The young kids get stupid in traffic… I love to run, but not looking to hurt people… I'm gonna start going to track regularly

Video to show that I didn't think of this one on my own.

My last M3 and my current G80 are my daily drivers. I have no other car. I swap my tires in the summer and winter (unless of course I have diff wheels), and I drive it no matter what…

The G80 is a perfect daily driver. Put on a good set winter tires and it's damn near unstoppable.

The M4 is a luxury car as well as a high performance car. Dr. Jekyll. In efficient, listening to the surround sound, A/C set in all three zones, seat adjusted just right and enjoying the Merino leather, carbon fiber and high quality interior pieces put together to an extremely high standard, it may as well be a 7 series. Then, M2 and it is Mr. Hyde. While I loved my Vettes, they were only Mr. Hydes...

I cannot think of a single reason not to daily this car, even with RWD and in the frozen north.

The car is a lease so when the nice weather opens up, the car will be used almost all the time along with my C7Z while the SUV sits.

It is a great car. But it can get you in trouble because of how easy it is to go fast. You dig into the throttle a bit and the trans downshifts and off you go.

Only thing that sucks (not really but sometimes) is you get a lot of attention. Some good some bad. I already had encounters where some idiots tried to get me to race them. When i smiled and shook my head no i can read their lips saying, "fucking pussy" lol.
Sometimes you get good attention. I was walking out of a sandwich place last weekend to discover a very nice arctic white C7 park next to my PB/KYO M4, and a very nice young woman climb out of the driver's seat. She commented that she loved the color on my car, and we had a very nice chat

I make excuses to drive my G82, so it's practically my "hourly driver". I love this machine and hate when I have to drive my wife's car. The other day she had a low tire pressure warning, so I took it to the gas station to properly inflate the tire (and inspected for nails). After that short trip I had to drive my car just to get hers out of my system. 😁

But seriously, others have said it well: you get it all with the G8x platform. Super car performance, delicious luxury if you do the interior right, and amazing tech engineered to keep you alive. My wife finds our G82 to be a more comfortable ride than our past F82, and that's even with the carbon bucket seats, which I thought might make the ride less comfy. And those seats are one of my favorite things I spec'd.

There's really no comparison to previous vehicles, and dare I say that practically includes my old F82. The new machine is just so good on all levels. Who doesn't want to sit in this cabin every day? 🤩

For daily driving the only issue is which car to take. M4C is a great car to drive.

I am in a daily M3. I will say it is overkill for a daily, but I do love it. The ride is harsh. That really is the only downside to using it to a daily.

Our M4 is my daily. Three other generations of M3s have been my dailys as well (E36, E46, E90); as vetteflier said, this is a consummate Dr. Jekyll -- on a par with my E39 M5s of yore. I don't consider the ride harsh (even on Michigan roads) -- just more communicative -- and certainly not as busy as my M235i was.

I daily drive my 2022 M3 competition. It's my only car. I got the car wrapped in PPF and ceramic and I have zero worries while driving other than the boy racers and attention.

I previously bought an Acura RDX for DD duties, and an M240i convertible 6-sp for weekends/fun. This arrangement made me appreciate the time in the latter, but eventually I found myself wondering why I should "settle" on my DD rather than enjoy it as much as possible? (The RDX is a comfortable cruiser, no doubt, but it's relatively boring.)

So I'll be ordering the M3 for a DD, although we'll hold onto the RDX for snow, HD runs, teenage driver, etc.

We're not talking about a Ferrari here, it's still a 3-series. Life's too short to drive boring cars.

Just joined moving from AMG GT 63s to M4 Comp all wheel. Plan is to use M4 as winter daily. How do you guys find it in the cold weather

I'm waiting on my M4Cx, whereas my friend has Sottozero on her '22 M4Cx. We live in the snowy climates of US with many months of cold dry or minimal white stuff before plows come out, and she absolutely loves the handling. Performance winter tread takes almost nothing away from the car.
Like many others, she and I have older "beater" SUV for the true winter driving to ski resorts, pre-plow errands, etc.

I came from a 2020 M240i (auto, coupe) and recently was gifted from a family member their old Lexus RX330 for skiing and long winter road trips. That old SUV gift made my DD decision so much easier.
I purchased my M4Cx after talking to a friend who used the same words you did: "Why are you compromising on your DD, buy what you want, life's too short." My reply was "because no one makes a 2 door AWD great handling unique looking daily that is a rocketship." That night I went back to my old 240i and Audi forums, and eventually saw the xdrive M4.
I was a day away from getting an X3M40i after owning an SQ5 for a few years. For my life, both a compromise.

I had a E92 in the past which was a great daily. The G80 is pushing the bounds of a daily. The suspension is bone jarring. You feel every freeway and highway bump. Bad streets are a nightmare. I am beyond glad I skipped the carbon seats. It is a fun car. It is way more horsepower than you can drive in a city. I think it honestly makes a poor daily driver. In some ways, I regret getting the car. I also think the MMI is garbage.

Even in comfort suspension setting?

Although I don't own a G80, I drove and was a passenger in one a few times. I didn't think the ride was "bone jarring" in either case.

Yea, maybe you want to bring yours in and have it checked. Nothing about my ride is "bone jarring" even in sport+. I'm also lowered which obviously doesn't make things smoother, but nothing about my ride is uncomfortable.

I DD my G80 and think its great as a DD. I have standard seats.
