What BMW car would you recommend for a DD?
What car or sav would you all recommend as a daily driver? To take in account, comfort, practicality, mpg (sort of), etc...
Thanks |

Depends, depends, depends ... narrow down the question (route details, passengers, cargo involved, etc).
I think I could make a case for every BMW available right now - 128, 328, M3, etc - in some situation.

Fast responses and am sorry that I didn't narrow it down but here it goes:
City driving (daily) Cargo (weekly grocery runs) and some small boxes Passengers (mostly alone and maybe 1-2 occasional) Too big of cars like the 550 are not being contemplated as it comes too close to the not DD. The diesel family is worth looking into, X5 d but too big for a daily driver, maybe a 330d? I'm looking for something comfortable yet as least attention getter of bimmers possible and that I don't have to get so mad about if they steal my emblem, tow hook cover, etc... Does that help? |

Budget?
I really like the e90335i(x if you THINK need it), I've never driven a a 328. Here in the city a torqy comfort sedan like the 335i really shines and doesn't get too much attention. It may feel a little vanilla but very comfortable. |

Thanks for the replies and agree that it would have to be without the M package, it can always be debadged as well, problem with the 335d or 335i is that they are obvious what they are. Maybe a 325 or 328.
How about a different brand but still Euro build? |

i just drive my e90 m as the DD. weekend cars are in my sig (theyre classics so not so hot for DD).
I agree with the e90 328i. not insanely pricey but can pack 4-5 people in and has a trunk large enough for some luggage or other junk. Ive seen others in snowy climates be all over an x3, i just cant shake my kind of 'eh' mentality of how it looks.

cant believe no one asked yet but, where are you located? I would think climate plays a big part in this. To go AWD or not to? To get a car with all seasons? Do you need 4 doors? All valid questions before an answer is given
