I did this drive today! HWY 191 in Eastern Arizona. I've been wanting to do this drive for about 20 years but it is a looong drive to get there (about 3-4 hours from Phoenix). I've always heard great things about this road and it did not disappoint.
A small coupe like the 1 series is perfect because the road is so tight in places, low end torque is a very good thing! Make no mistakes, almost no guard rails and the edge of the road has lots of shear drops! Very little traffic.
I put on about 600 miles today mostly just getting there and back (came through Eagar and Show Low on the return).
