Alps Tour 2022 /// HGT'22 - 9 Days of Driving Bliss in The Alps
We all have our passions – for me it is driving towards the most beautiful roads in the world and if possible with friends and their Bimmers. So we've accomplished our first international tour that last 9 days and went amazing with all sort of adventures and experiences! A very special word to mjn77 that so kindly help us with all elaboration of the event. From giving us all sort of tips and advice to leading our drives in very difficult passes in considerable complicated weather conditions. In the end everything went beautifully to all of us and people and cars did amazingly well.
Therefore here's our tour in detail so that anyone can inspire themselves or to others to do or join us on future tours. This should make a great reference for anyone planning travel towards the Alps. Germany not only do we have great Autobahns but also some of the best gateways to the most beautiful roads in the world. Enjoy, Joao Line Up: BMW M140i (F20) joao.toscano BMW 440i (F32) Alexander_Sebastian BMW M2 Competition (F87) BMW M2 (F87) @bmw.pi314 BMW M3 (E90) mjn77 BMW M3 Competition Velocity Ed.(F80) CruzM3 BMW M6 (E63) Pictures of cars to follow/// As of 4th April 2022 gas prices were: Netherlands [95]: € 2.33 Austria [95]: € 1.76 Italy [95]: € 1.87 Germany [95]: € 2.13 Luxembourg [95]: € 1.75 Switzerland [95]: 2.07 CHF We had chance to get some proper gas namely V-Racing 100 (Shell) in Germany and 102 with Aral (BP) .. but with other prices that the ones listed above.

And we discuss about moving forward with the tour and recap the Porsche scene. For BMW enthusiasts as us, it's fascinating to compare Porsche's evolution with BMW's, noticing the different approaches to performance, luxury, and innovation. Our experience was both educational and enjoyable, fostering a deeper appreciation for automotive engineering and design, regardless of brand loyalty. It was also an excellent opportunity for our club members to bond over their shared passion for cars, while acknowledging the excellence of another leading manufacturer.

My little pocket-rocket turn 100k during day2 Time for quick stop at fast-food Approaching the first pass .. Prep for some footage Richard & Alison were super anxious to reach the mountains On board pic from Klausen Pass first curves in Switzerland Stop by Klausen Pass to some photo shooting and fly drone Moving up at Klausen Pass with a lovely background with the M6 CruzM3 selfie Power of mountains with bimmers line-up Coming down at Klausen Pass we got some rain and we stop for a quick shot We arrive hotel after a long day of travel and demanding effort of the cars. Until now everything has been a fantastic experience. Lovely parking at Radisson Bed room overview Very comfortable place to be at Andermatt Dinner at hotel was great!

Day3 - 286km [Andermatt, Switzerland ->> Sufers, Switzerland]
Morning! Initially we planned to split our Day3 in 2 parts. Planning tours towards Alps are challenging and this time wasn't exception therefore we adjust accordinlg the roads and passes that were available to drive. Considering that Grimselpass was closed we start our day focus on SustenPass. We could not made it all missing the last corners to reach the top but it was a gorgeous ride up. But first things first. Breakfast was awesome! Breakfast time. [IMG] Checkout and meet up for the first time in real life mjn77 at parking place with his lovely E90 M3 Time to recap day plan! mjn77 will lead today our convoy. No matter what we want to make sure cars are at most of the times with full tank to avoid any surprises Drive to SustenPass was spectacular. Weather was super favorable for a lovely run! SustenPass top was closed but we could feel the potential of this pass. We'll be back! From SustenPass we took the next pass. Furka here we come.

After this morning stunning passes we were hungry and with usual help from CruzM3 we found a very interesting and cute local restaurant.
Hot afternoon and off we go towards our third pass of the day. Still driving in Switzerland towards San Bernardino Pass. But first things first... Quick stop before running the pass After a stunning drive towards the top of the pass we were thrilled with the unexpected scenery that we just found. BMW CSL 3.0 in loco! I was in shock and my thoughts were only. Take pics take pics and enjoy the moment! I'll never ever forget this moment. It was like 'everything happen for a reason' and it was fated for us to live such a moment. The day couldn't end better.

Day4 - 275km [Sufers, Switzerland ->> Bormio, Italy]
Another day ahead! More excitement towards a few more passes and this was going to be a tricky day for some of the cars. Badge moved Morning scene is 99 out 100 always fantastic! Check SplugenPass was great! Top of SplugenPass Ciao Italia! We are One! Coming down the road we decide to stop to fly our drones and appreciate the beauty of the land. Moving forward and in the search for a lovely spot for a well deserved lunch. Mayday Mayday!! Hairpins are coming After lunch ... Alexander_Sebastian ring alert! One of our B58's warns Low Oil level - time for some teamwork Let's keep it up and move forward. JulierPass we are coming! No time to rest and now it's AlbulaPass on the way! Alex's B58 still complains on some mountain compliance and now a 'Emergency' warning came up! It's time for a OBD2 call. CruzM3 also needs some attention. No reason for alarm but let's keep both Alex and Antho cars under radar. After proper evaluation we're moving down toward the hotel and there's one more pass before we release our legs and give cars a well deserved rest. Last pass of the day! Bernina Pass well known as Passo del Bernina

Day5 - 161km [Bormio, Italy ->> Imst, Austria]
For our fifth day we plan the shortest drive from the tour. We plan... Let's see if that still stands. We're fortunate to have StelvioPass open according the webcams and local sites info and therefore we look forward to a epic day and probably one of the most exciting ones from the tour. It always been a dream for me to come to Stelvio and today we're putting all energy to make it happen. Improvising parking as our hotel was full and no availability for all cars indoors. Ready to go and need for some more gas. On the way to Stelvio And endless ... Heaven! StelvioPass from bottom The tour keeps going leaving behind a very hasty StelvioPass for some of us .... Richard and his stunning E63 M6 have been doing a stunning drive! Reservoir Dogs Epic end of the day scenery before hitting Imst and our hotel.

Day6 - 237km [Imst, Austria ->> Campitello di Fassa, Italy]
The Timmelsjoch High Alpine Road 🇦🇹 recently started its season and we're glad to be coming up! Also we plan to stop by at the TOP Mountain Motorcycle Museum Crosspoint. We'll drop by the Jaufen Pass and look forward to eat some gorgeous cake at Ötztal Edelweiss. Gratis round up for carwash guys BMW dominance at gas station. It's a every day story. Hello Timmelsjoch!! Car club sticker ON. Cool restaurant next to the Mountain Motorcycle Museum and nice food! Let's lunch Hey! There's a camo outdoors! Let's check Not a camo! Quick check! Ok! Let's go in! After the lovely visit to the museum we're moving forward and it didn't took much before next stop. Temperature drop rapidly while traveling in the mountains. So we came down the road and somehow we stop next to this spot! It was again hot hot and the swimming pool was like calling us! Check And after a lovely and very refreshment experience we're back to the top of the mountain to eat the best of the best cakes! Thanks mjn77 for taking us here! And the cars were taking a open hood scene And at a glance ..... What a day ... up and down .. cold and hot .. wow! At Selva di Vardegna namely SellaPass we're! We're off to the hotel. Cars and drivers are tired
