Lougheed Hwy towards Hope maybe?

Dunno about some of the sideroads condition this time of year but I was out for work off Morrison Valley Rd (turnoff at Harrison Mills shortly before Agassiz) couple of years ago and those roads towards the Hemlock Valley Ski Area where great fun to drive in the summer. Could be a lot of gravel on the road though...

And if you don't mind crossing the border how about the 542 from Bellingham towards Mt. Baker. Check it out at:

driftdriven, the one I saw was a black convertible. I'll keep an eye out for your SGM.

[merlyn]

from Deep cove. Look out for my SGM 135i later this summer!

[OakStreet]

saw a SGM 135 yesterday afternoon downtown Vancouver at Burrard and Smithe at about 630. My first on the road sighting. Beautiful car btw.

One of us?

That was me. Thanks - just washed it. The brake dust is brutal.

[driftdriven]

Saw a SGM 128i in Port Moody the other day (DAMN YOU!!) LOL

[PhAzE]

Deep Cove as well. Look for a LMB 135i

What's with all the 1'ers on the Shore?

Where in Vancouver can you track your car?

[vanbmw]

Mission Raceway. However..you don't want to screw up as there is limited run off room. Also a fairly tight track and hard on tires/brakes. If you got time go down to Pacific raceway in Seattle. There are also lots of AutoX clubs around that use areas at Boundary bay airport, Pitt Meadows airport and also out at the tradex at Abbotsford.

Went to Spanish Banks with the family today. Saw a SGM coupe pulled off on the side of the #1 going east just after the Sprott overpass. Then saw a black 128i vert on Mariner in Coquitlam. My first single day double sighting.

How about for beginners?, ie people who have never tracked their cars before?

Hey, another local checking in... I'm actually out in Maple Ridge, but downtown Mon-Fri.

Depends how long of a drive you are looking for. The road up to Gold Creek / Alouette Lake is a blast to drive and very scenic, although only around 25km round trip. Neaves Road to Pitt Lake is fun and straight, although not as scenic.

If you want a little further drive, how about the crows nest highway (#3 I think) to Manning park? Should be clear right now, but not 100% sure on that. I'd also second Lougheed Highway -> Harrison Hot Springs / Hope. You could even combine both and do Lougheed -> Hope, then hop onto the #3 from there to Manning and blast back on the #1.

Hmmm. A LMB 135 stopped for me & my son crossing Mt seymour road. I was jogging (and drooling), and my son was on his bike - was that you?

When you pull over for a break, all you can smell is break and clutch!

I think so, I live just around that bend. I saw you glance over a few times, I find many people glance back

Hi there I am from Burnaby and this waiting is killin me haha.
I saw 4 1ers on Saturday 2 verts and 2 white coupes... they are starting to appear

[OakStreet]

Anybody here drive a AW 128 and had the car at a detailing shop by Park Royal Friday 23nd? Also wednesday saw a black 128 late afternoon at Lougheed and Willingdon. The more 1er are starting to appear the more it hurts to still be waiting...

[1ATTIC]

Delivery by rail had an estimated arrival time of May 22nd. Still haven't heard though......:iono:

Finally got out of the car long enough to take a few pictures. I was worried about Cashmere Silver, since we had ordered it sight unseen. We needn't have worried, we think it looks great. I think it will be quite a rare colour as well, which is a plus...
