Anywhere from 5-120 a week. With 6 cars and only a 3 car garage, a lot depends on whether my car's blocked or not and whether I go somewhere on the weekends. I'm going to the Bay Area this weekend. Sorta tempted to try it without a bra (kinda broke right now).

haha. I wish. Problem is there are 5 drivers.

Most of the cars are in pretty bad condition cuz my family runs cars into the ground. It sucks cuz every day, the neighbor across the street from me opens his garage and I get to stare at his SL55, S55, and CL600. That's on top of the LX470 he has to park in the driveway.

I think you are all liars. I am pretty much the US average (maybe a little below that) of 12,000 miles per year, which is 230 miles per week.
Oh wait, I don't even have a Bimmer. [:0]

About 280 miles/week (13.5k - 14k per year) - which is a relatively low amount... Unfortunately very few of those miles were on 'fun roads.' Mostly highway mileage to & from the daily grind.

work is 150 miles roundtrip. I drive my bimmer 3-4 x a week which is 450-600 miles /week.

I love driving my car. I drive my 4runner the other days but it does not compare to the bimmer and it does not use as much gas

I put 3300 on mine which i got the at the end of this past august. So its been about 8 weeks. I don't have a commute but I drove from LA to bayarea then once more down and up again, so maybe thats where all my miles came from. I never really had a need to drive other than the local market, so I dont know where the rest of those miles came from. I just started a new job with a 40 mile round tripo commute. That'll put some miles on it. Maybe I should take the subway.

almost straight 300 with me last year and that was less then the years before. i changed travelling habbits so i reduced the miles. just end of last year i got the 60000 miles complete.
when i return end of this year it will still be about 60250 maybe. if ever. that makes an average of 4.8 per week, nobody beats that [hihi]

It is roughly twenty miles worth of driving one way to my work. That is about 40 miles back and forth. Plus any driving that my work would require (roughly 10 miles a day). Not to mention the trip once or twice a month to the reserve center for two day. Call that roughly thirty mile each way (60 miles) for 2 days (120 miles) and at least 5 extra mile a weekday for either gas, beer, or smokes (25 miles) and 50-75 miles a day for the weekends (100-150). Given even three weekends in a month and only one weekend of reserve training. It would roughly come out to right around sixty miles a day so about 420 miles a week and roughly 1,680 miles a month, 20,160 miles a year![thumb] Not including any road trips, extra reserve training, long weekends, visits from friends (when I am forced to go down to that pain in my ass that they call the strip). Judging by the amount of trips that I take to either California, or Utah for snowboarding and visits. It would probably be right around 27,500-30,000 miles a year.

Well, when I sold my 99 323i it had less than 37K miles on it and was exactly 4 years and 10 months old. Soooo, according to my calculations that's 55.3 miles a day. Actually that sounds like quite a bit.... It also comes out to around 7,789 miles a year.

Hey that was kinda fun - give me another math problem!! [:D]

However, for the last year I've been working about 1.9 miles from my house. So I expect those numbers will be much lower with my new car...

Wait, I forgot why I called you guys liars.
More accurately, though, I have had my car for 2 months and 7 days and I have like 2,500 miles on it right now. So let's say I have had it for 67 days, and I have driven 2,500 miles, that is 37.13 miles per day !! That comes out to 259.91 miles per week and 13,552.45 miles per year ! My lease is for 39 months and 36,000 miles....looks like I have to try to keep the mileage down !!

Welcome to the downside of leasing, along with having to return the car stock. [?|]
