Sounds amazing. One of the best ways to travel.
Have fun and be safe. Looking forward to seeing some pictures.

Hahaha....I knew it....been there, done that.....survived it...
It was while I was there that I first read online about the new (2007) twin turbo, 300HP/300TQ, 4.8 0-60MPH (according to C&D), 335i .... couldn't pass it up. Risk has its rewards...Have a GREAT time with your ED!

There are definitely some perks, if you don't mind sand in everything.

I'm jealous. Especially since I've been to all the places that you mention and I know how much fun it can be. The Stelvio Pass may still be closed but there is a lot of other cool driving "close by". Spend some time in the Dolomites and drive around the Sella Ronda (Italian Alps). This is very popular for bike and car enthusiast because of the many passes within close range. I did that twice on my (BMW) bike!
Consider skipping Interlaken and Zurich. For some reason, many American tourists visit these towns in Switzerland and there is really nothing exiting about them. In stead, spend some extra days in Holland! Visit and drive your car over the "Delta Works" (huge dams) in the province of Zeeland (south-west) or cruise along the endless tulip bulb fields in the west. During Queensday (and in general in Amsterdam), park you car at the garage under the 1928 Olympic Stadium and get a free bicycle OR public transport card for use in the city. No point in driving around. Parking is extremely expensive in the centre (€4.80 per hour!) and if you don't, chances of getting a parking ticket AND getting towed is about 80%. Have fun! |

I was tempted to order a v4 before I left, but decided not to. The temptation to crank it up all the time would be too much, and I will be breaking in a brand new car. Didn't want to chance anything. I've tackled the 'Ring in a busted car before, and it's not as fun. Although the improved highway cruising fuel econ that comes with the v4 would be great! $7 a gallon!!

Visiting friends in K-Town. I plan on hitting the 'Ring on weekdays. Shorter hours, but a lot less traffic to contend with.

Me too. I hope some of the old places I always went to are still open.
Sure?

That's true, but on the off chance you have an accident or get car jacked, your insurance won't cover the car. Although I'm sure both cases would be very rare.

I thought dealerships stopped taking orders for 2010 models 3 weeks ago - at least that's what I was told by my dealer when I asked him about ordering a 2010 335i few days ago ?
Is this not the case ? |

What can be better than enjoying this wonderful trip with your brother. I'm getting so excited but I'm not even going. I can't wait to one day embark on such a trip. Have fun again.
