1M European Delivery Journal + Pics

Shahaed · 09-18-2011, 01:47 AM

Wow, very nice. Two quick questions.

1. Why not an M3?
2. Where are you and you dad from?

Hope I don't sound like a dick or anything.

Nice write up & pictures.

Orjan · 09-18-2011, 03:08 AM

Great story and great pics! The 1M looks grat in AW

Just beautiful

Always dreamed doing an ED.

Great! Seems that you both had a blast ...and judging by the cows picture, you were not the only ones having a break-in in the rugged Alps.

Clearly from ///M Enthusiasts Land, like virtually all others on this forum.

M ETT · 09-18-2011, 09:53 AM

Wow, great pics and great story. I hate the fact that I already got my 1M without ED, or in my case Factory Delivery

Guess I will have to plan a fake "ED" of my own. I just have to drive down to Welt and try to sneak in.

Congrats on a great looking car & thanx for the awesome pics.

mtechnik3 · 09-18-2011, 10:19 AM

Great job on sharing your experience. Your pics turned out amazing!!

EdM5 · 09-18-2011, 11:10 AM

Fantastic shots.
Wallpaper quality!

Congrats on the 1M.

Voltigeur · 09-18-2011, 11:31 AM

Nicely done. Very clean portfolio of shots. I'm envious you got to see the Art Cars; when I was there picking up my ///M they were on tour

Safe driving in your 1M.

M5007 · 09-18-2011, 11:51 AM

Thanks for sharing. Nice pictures.

ron_jeremy · 09-18-2011, 02:16 PM

Great ED tread, and again, awsome pics.
I have driven some of these roads myself, but not in the right kind of brand, ours!

Congrats to the TS, on a great car, an a great experience with your dad!
I want to do the same with my son one day, really bonding!
Enjoy the cars, your family and the works!

M_BYEEE · 09-18-2011, 04:55 PM

amazing pictures! Well done. Anyone know what that ariel atom/lotus hybrid-looking monster was?

downstrung · 09-18-2011, 05:57 PM

Bump for the brand of camera/lens used here! Fantastic pictures and itinerary! I'm about to leave in two days to pick up an orange 1M myself

Dee Pee · 09-18-2011, 06:24 PM

Awesome photos! It reminds me that I need to dig out my photos of the BMW Art Cars and post them. I was at the exhibit at the KLCC Mall a few years ago which was totally devoid of people so I got lots of great shots.

I'm working on my own humorous write-up but this "job" thing keeps eating up all my time. I'm envious of your trip, OP. I took my Dad for a ride in the car and he was blown away by it. I shoulda done ED with him.

M2...I guess LOL.

larryzhou · 09-18-2011, 06:39 PM

Super

jpd · 09-18-2011, 07:14 PM

This certainly is among the best stories along with superb photos in Bimmerpost. Happy Driving!!!!

Wow, thanks again for the compliments. I'm actually not a pro photographer but being a designer I've always had a passion for the art.

When I approached the bull he looked at me and decided to show off!...lol. My father was in stitches laughing.

The car and roads were amazing but the time spent with my father was priceless.

SukSqueezeBangBlo · 09-18-2011, 09:10 PM

Wow awesome man.
