Pics from a weekend drive!

DJ9 · 07-07-2008, 12:30 AM

A few of us who were in town for the 4th of July weekend, met up for an early morning back roads drive...thought we'd share some pics.

This was actually a very cool experience as none of us really have ever seen; let alone been able to drive with another e92 on the road, so the opportunity to see the lines of the e92 while in pursuit, or from our side/rear mirrors was really cool.

It was also nice to see the different colors of the M and how body lines changed depending on the shade of the car.

Sorry for the lack of photographic flare, just some point and clicks whenever we would stop

Fun day guys!

At the top above the clouds.

Nice pics

MDCTFTW · 07-07-2008, 12:47 AM

Wow nice. Where is that exactly?

DJ9 · 07-07-2008, 12:56 AM

sfbimmer and his Sparkling Graphite M3 caught up with us for some beers and oysters.

Notice his exhaust tips in comparison to stock...looks much more aggressive!

pics were up in Marin County. Here is a better view of the mountain side we drove up and over; below the clouds is the beach/coast.

Nice. I wish I could have met up with you guys. I thought I was going to go to LA on Saturday but I wound up not heading down. Next time I will be there although I will feel out of place being the only sedan

monsta · 07-07-2008, 09:31 AM

wow that sounds like a great drive, great pics....what altitude is that?

DJ9 · 07-07-2008, 10:17 AM

google says, 2,571 Feet (784 Metres)...I'll check my Nav the next time i'm up there.

RT8_M3 · 07-07-2008, 10:27 AM

looks like fun guys!

UltimateBMW · 07-07-2008, 01:54 PM

Awe-some.

I really wish I had roads and areas like those here in Tx. Makes me want to move back to NY or to CA. Somewhere with alittle bit of twist to the roads and some elevation changes!

Takumi587 · 07-07-2008, 01:55 PM

Man I love the space grey...

UltimateBMW · 07-07-2008, 01:55 PM

If Sparkling graphite didn't have that Dr. Jekyl eggplant color in it.. that would be such an amazing color choice for the M3. You don't see it at all in these pics and its pretty

fmquadri · 07-07-2008, 02:01 PM

i like that shot too.. next time i'll bring my dslr.. the "fog on the lagoon" would make a sweet early morning shot.

Sparkling grahite went great with the fox red intertior; which was actually much more orange in person. The Graphite color reminded me of the old Sterling Gray.
