M3's in Highlands NC

Three Pedal Steve · 07-20-2026, 04:33 PM

This morning there was a Melbourne red e92 M3 passing through Highlands. We waived and traded revs but I was on my way to an appointment. Otherwise, I would have turned around and caught up for some roadside dialog. If you are out there bro, drop a note. I would love to host an M3 gathering in the mountains. I know the hidden back roads and the best restaurants. And I'm buying.
Maybe DrFerry and spazzyfry123 can join the fun.

Well this is synchronicity at its finest! I have been thinking for over a week about driving up to Highlands to escape the Greenville furnace. Honestly I even thought, "I should send Three Pedal Steve a PM and let him know". It wasn't me in the Melbourne Red E92 M3 today, but now the universe has sent a confirmation. Thank you. I'll send you a PM.

Thanks Three Pedal Steve for a great day. Getting away from the Greenville furnace and into the cool of the mountains was a treat. The roads are amazing around Highlands NC, with great views as a bonus. Who needs the Tail-of-The-Dragon when there are similar roads much closer to home? Here's a couple more pics.

Sorry I missed out guys! I've been a bit absent here on the forums over the last several months. It looks like you guys had an absolute blast!

As fate would have it, I am unexpectedly selling my Le Mans Blue E90. I won't clog this thread with the details, but at least it is going to a good friend. Three Pedal Steve met him at last year's Highlands Motoring Festival as my passenger.

I am already looking for its replacement with another S65 high on the list...
