    Question Miles Driven Yearly

    Hi all,

    I did a bit of searching and couldn't find an existing thread, but I apologize if I missed something.

    Just curious how many miles/kilometers per year you all drive your E32s!

    I did about 18k miles in 2019 - daily driven!

    My 750 has now an insurance with which I can drive up to 5000 km/year. That insurance is flexible, if I drive more than 5000 km/year, I just inform them at the end of the year the extra km and I have to pay a bit extra premium.

    Pls add the miles to the poll, easier to see the total of all and %

    About 500 to 1000 km per year.
    I only drive my car during the summer.

    I'm curious how many E32s these days are summer-only/weekender vs. daily-driver/commuter use - I'd imagine it's skewed towards the former.

    I drive mine summers only, 2-4,000 miles per year, and pretty much just local driving. The V12 is a thirsty beast, for longer drives I have a Kia Optima that can get 33 mpg on the highway with almost as much interior space as the 750

    I drive my 87 Euro about 8 to 10,000 miles a year. The trip to the Vintage is about 2,000 miles with the side drives each year.

    I’m 5-8k range I daily my e32 all summer. Best commuter car I’ve had, comfortable, powerful, and I can easily get 19-25mpg. I loved my e38 but the light steering of the e32 and soft ride is what made me fall in love.

    Now in the 4k range since I take it on trips more often. Mainly only summer months but willing to drive it all year around if it's warm enough. Getting it ready to drive across the country and daily drive it for a little bit. Will see how that goes...

    Very little. I use my 735 once a week for a 15 mile round trip to work and back just to keep things moving around. It's bad to let cars sit. At that rate and occasional runs to the grocery store with her, I put under 1000 a year. Sitting at just under 108K.

    I think since I own 3 cars, one being an E38, I dont tend to drive the E32 as much, even though I love to. I daily drive a VW CC. I put between 500-2500 on the E32, probably the same with the E38. Now that I have moved to Denver for the time being, it gets driven even less than 500 a year, only when I visit Florida to see my family.
