My wish list includes: - Full Akra Evo exhaust - Recaro PP seats - Powder coating the wheels (but not 100% on this one) I really like radiantm3's car. His list of modes is pretty much what I'd do. http://www.m3post.com/forums/showthr...ight=radiantm3 |

Awesome pics! Thanks for sharing!
I'm going next month (to some different destinations), but you've given me some ideas. I'm still waiting on a 7D MK II or something (I don't want to buy a new cam and then see a new much better one in 6 months) and I'm still using my crappy XSi. Would you recommend the L lens for it? |

It was meant to be. If I had the unlimited budget this is something I'd be considering buying. I parked next to that guy on purpose. Him and his buddy in the M1 were hanging out on Stelvio Pass. Quote:

Amazing photography skills!
We did Bavaria and the Black Forest for our European Delivery trip. Next time we might head down your route... those roads look awesome to drive on! (Anyone inspired to do ED should check out the few tips I posted from our experience a few months ago. http://www.e90post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=558659) To the OP... feel free to add your personal advice to my thread. For starters, what additional precautions did you take for driving to Italy?

I didn't take any particular precautions, although I should say, Italians drive very fast without any regards to the posted speed limit. Not that I am particular concerned with the speed limit myself, but dude, I saw some guys doing 125 MPH when speed limit was 80. Another note, in our 2 weeks in Europe we saw only one speed enforcing official - it was in France. Quote:
And I agree with you on CF splitters, they look somewhat controversial on a white car. After long consideration I had decided to pass on the splitters. The cost of the trip (not including shopping) came up to $9,500. We were not trying to save money on anything, per se, but we were not doing anything crazy neither, like gambling at Casino Monte Carlo. We stayed at 3-4 star hotels very close to all attractions. Screw commute! Fine dining in Europe is more expensive than in the US. If you expect paying 100-150 bucks for a dinner at a nice place in the US, in Europe it will be the same or slightly higher number, but in Euros. But, man, what a setting! The best example was a light breakfast on the Piazza San Marco in Venice, see attached. You'll pay dare prices for the orchestra, for the 300-years of history of that cafe, etc.. But it is all worth it. We were visiting in July - the busiest time of the year. I think if you go in September or something, you'll be able to knock off a couple of G's off the tab due to lower air fares and hotel rates. If in Nice, stay at Hotel Le Lausanne!

I appreciate all the details. I'm planning a trip for next summer, so I just want to get an idea what to expect. My choice of color is the same like yours. Just a gorgeous M. Wish you the best of luck with the car , and thanks again.

Sick photos! I was in Monaco last summer for 2 months and now you made me miss it... They always have the nicest cars around the casino and Hotel De Paris.
