POLL: How many miles per year do you drive your E30 (2023 edition)?

[ZeKahr]

Seems like one of these polls hasn't been done in a while (last ones I've seen from a quick Google search are from 2015-ish or thereabouts). So put up a 2023 edition of this poll

Less then 1500mi recently, as my driving is spread across "a few" different vehicles now.

2k miles a year on average since I bought it though.
And that average is brought down as it was off the road for over a year for body & paint work.


Odometer says I've put on 30k kilometers since 2014!

Plan to put more miles on with some roadtrips next summer. Have a couple nagging issues to correct first.

I would be lucky to have put 500kms (310mi) on my 89 in the last 8 years, despite being finished a couple of times I continue to fiddle with it. I have an 84 323 with low ks that I have stored for the last 8 years, that was my daily for about 6 months four years ago but then I took it off the road and stored it again. Basically these days I only drive my cars in the warmer months. I don't mind it because you enjoy driving them more and take them less for granted.

I said 3k a year, but that's probably way too high. I DD'd various e30s for about 13 years, then an f30 for about 8 months, and now I work from home and rarely drive. The f30 is used for most of the trips, but I'll probably drive the e30 more when the weather gets cooler.

Well I've been dailying it while the wagon project has dragged on. According to my maintenance log I've driven about 13,000mi since last July, and my odometer was flaking out for a couple of months there... I am guessing I am still in an extreme minority among E30 owners; turbo E30 DD that is getting a lot of miles on it. The old thing really needs a rest too...

I'm dailying my M20 turbo at the moment while I wrap up an engine swap on my Toyota, should clear 10k proud miles this year. I have about 20k miles on the setup overall at the moment :)

I've been DD'ing mine for the past 8-9 years while putting on 15-20k a year. Only left me stranded once when the shaft on the original clutch master cylinder snapped.

That's impressive mileage! How many miles overall?

[4tDX]

At 332k on the odometer. I think it was ~160k when I bought it with a broken odometer gears. So, I'm not sure what the true mileage is on the chassis.
When I first bought I did do a ton of maintenance on it and the current plan is to take it down this winter to go over everything again.

[MrBurgundy]

I also used to daily mine, which was probably 10k a year. Now I probably hit around 2k

Gotta hit the big 500k

[e30austin]

i daily drove my red car for over a decade and 120k miles. ashamed to say i've put less than 1000 miles on it in the last year and a half.

[rturbo 930]

My car sat for about a year and a half, and I only got it going again last month, but I've put about 850 miles on it since. I'll probably drive it until around Thanksgiving time.

[Reichart12]

Next year will be my year... I say for the sixth straight year.
