Appreciate it. Not familiar with Roundel. Also, not sure what you mean by "own any other marks?" Typo? Did you mean cars?

Roundel is the term for the BMW emblem on the hood and trunk and other places.

Wow, absolutely an amazing trip and thanks for all the pics! I'm familiar with some of the journey and obviously everything in AZ and have taken the M850i up to Sedona but have driven/experienced the rest in prior rides. I grew up in Nogales (border town on I19 south of Tubac) and the Tubac Golf Resort has a special place in my heart as it is where the wife and I had our wedding reception.
The wife and I wanted to do Highway 1 last year but scheduling just didn't work out. Now thanks to your post I have more of a road trip in mind so thank you for the inspiration! 🥂 |

I came down the coast all the way from Newport, OR to Dana Point just south of Newport, CA in my F10 550 in Feb 2015. It's about a thousand miles with the ocean out your window. Well, not "your" window, but the spouse's window. Little did I realize how hair raising it was for that person when the ground falls away 2,000 feet to the drink. I'm just over here hugging the centerline and having a high old time. She said never again. I came north the second time (by myself) and thought "Problem solved, just drive northbound." She'll be looking at the mountainside. It worked. Big Sur is spectacular, but the section of Hwy 1 north out of San Francisco shouldn't be missed either. You eventually cut over the mountains to Leggett and meet up with 101. But that just means you can see the Redwoods if you are heading to Eureka. I'd love to do that section again. It should actually be an annual requirement. |

The wife is a teacher and her school wouldn't give her the extra week off given it being unplanned, no substitute available, etc. Me I'm semi-retired and can do my job from anywhere with an Internet connection so it wouldn't have been a problem whatsoever. Moral of that story is properly plan in advance as long as the school year is underway. |

Yep and I get the printed versions of the magazines through the 3-year membership subscribed to for the $1K rebate on the M850i. Would love to see this in an article in Roundel!

Absolutely epic, thank you for taking us with you on the trip.
And, I have to say. It’s probably an 8 series thing where they give you a special magic coating that keeps the car clean in the snow. It’s not offered on lesser models.

Impressive as per usual sir.
Miss the scenic western part of the country. Much more dramatic than back east.

Went on a road trip from Long Island to Hershey park this weekend (500 miles round trip) and I gotta say there truly is something special about having a bmw on the open road like that. I wouldn't shut up the whole car ride talking about the driving dynamics and the ride quality my gf thought it was funny lol.
