My commuter is a bimmer, actually. It's just an old, poorly equipped one. Yeah, you can say "it's just a 3 series" but it cost a few hundred dollars more than the 5-er did when it was new. It's much more stealth than a bright blue coupe anything. I like to be low key

Whenever I find myself in the middle of a hard, crappy work day I think about my sweet drive home in my e92 and it makes everything that much better. In fact, visualizing this stopped me quiting atleast twice last week. If I had a beater for commuting I would probably be unemployed right now!

92 Acura Legend, and it was darn good for a while, but now it's starting to show its age in terms of wear and tear...

i drive the E90 most days to work. Every now and then I use my 1999 civic especially when I know I'll be street parking in downtown DC.

My 335i is my commuter. It costs a few extra hundred dollars a month in payment to add the miles to the lease (instead of waiting to take it in the shorts at turn in) and I have all the miles I want. No worries about miles and I dont hurt all day dreaming of what it would be like to drive my baby. My theory is I pay this much for the car... why would I drive another?

I think if I were buying it I might approach it differently. But that will never happen... I want new every 2 !

X2. I commute 25 miles each way to and from work. Despite the traffic, I couldn't dream of driving a beater for those hour long rides. I see it as a reward for a hard days work. :rocks:

I voted "I don't have a commuter car", but I'm not sure that's the correct choice since my 30xi is my only car and DD.
