I use my series III 109 as my daily driver. However being self employeed if the thing does not start in the morning I can shift my schedule and repair it. The biggest mod I would suggest is a second car, for those mornings that the thing just won't start. The other mod I would suggest is the parts store in the garage. They don't run too bad as daily ddrivers but as above you have to keep up on the maintence and fix things at the first sign of anything being wrong. The overdrive is a great idea (would love that on mine,) however don;t use a fairley. They are incredible noisy and if you have any length of drive on the freeway everyday you will have no hearing left by the end of the first year. Oh and buy yourself a good set of ear plugs (ones that are not too visible for the cops, but have a high decible rating) The final thing is to enjoy. There truely is nothing like arriving at work calm and relaxed because you enjoy the drive, also helps with the wind down after work on the the way home.
