I drive a Honda CRV 2005 as my DD and it's a great vehicle for NJ and i take out my 135i on nice days and put about 6000 miles a year on it..I love the 2 car app[roach as my 1 stay's showroom new and is alway;s feels new and fresh because i do not drive it everyday...I no some feel you MUST drive the BMW daily as garage queens are for wussies..but i TOTALLY disagree...Having the 1M in the garage for special rides would be amazing...i wish i had one as i have found that the 135i and the 1M are such good cars that it would be a shame for you to give it up...If i could afford the payments i would of bought one..but what it would of cost me for the 1M i have 3 cars for the same monthly payment with insurance...the Honda, my wifes new Prius and the 135i....we are all happy and like my son tells me " Dad, no sense in trading in the 135i, it still drives and smells new....." I am staying with the 2 car approach and my 1 alway's feels fresh and special...when i drove it daily for a few months, it lost my interest a bit so.....KEEP the 1M !! I will be passing my 135i down to my son in the future...this car is a keeper.
Hey there, thanks for the kind words. Trust me, I LOVE LOVE LOVE my 1M, waited a long/painful 8 months for it, and I struggle with the idea of selling it (which is why I have not decided to sell it and this is a "feeler" thread); however, it is my only car, so I don't really have a 2-car approach. Single, late 20's, and no kids I don't feel the need to own more than 1 car, and well, if the 1M is in my garage it must be driven considering how much of a driver's car it is.

Who knows, maybe the answer is to get something cheap (so that I don't mind it getting dirty/dings/scratches etc) and keep this baby in my garage...but that would do this car no justice!
