ETA's are great daily drivers. They have more torque (at lower RPM's), so you don't have a lot of shifting to do. My friend has an ETA that is great as a daily driver. I would highly recommend it. My daily driver is a black on black E28 535is automatic, which is an awesome daily driver. Don't get me wrong, a 5-speed is superior, but it's soooo nice to drink coffee and talk on my cell phone without having to juggle around and shift.

The only downside is that the 535 gets the worst gas milage I've ever seen.

Since my 325ic has passed on(RIP)

I have turned to my 86 325e std and 87 325e auto as my daily drivers.They are great but I don't get any

anymore. At least I can keep the ricers from revving at me at every light now.

I do!! My daily is and eta and I love it. Its not stock, but it is unbelievably reliable. I love it, it is a nice break from the roughness and peaky nature of the ///M3. I love my eta and I have driven it since I knew how to drive. Learned a lot in that car. Its a f*cken soldier as far as Im concerned, 196,XXX miles and its still smooth, no lie.
