Beautiful pictures. The scenery is amazing. Nothing like that in Miami, I'd have to drive quite a bit North to see something like this.

Question: You have the rear diffuser and side markers but didn't get the M Performance front piece? Curious why since the car isn't dropped.

Thanks for sharing.

Great photos! Oregon is a goldmine of scenic roads, I remember taking my then-new-to-me E39 M5 for an extended drive up the mountains after getting the keys from the owner. What a blast! My only regret is not planning an actual trip down the entire coast to LA... What a journey that would've been in a great car.

That honestly looks like the best drive of all time. Perfect colors, scenery, elevation changes. And I thought we had good roads up here in upstate New York and New England! What I'd give to drive that route... (although not in my current car &#128530

Thanks! Only thing I've done to the car since purchase was add the BMW Performance exhaust. Everything else was on there when I bought it.

My God, those pictures are amazing. Your car is perfect and the scenery is just stunning. There are some really nice mountain roads around here in western NC, but your pics sure make me homesick for the west coast...

Thank you for sharing such a beautiful story!!

Very nice pics, LBB and story! Your map pic shows Eagle, ID. Did you actually drive all the way over here to the Boise area? You should try some of the roads north of here!

Love Oregon scenery too, will probably head towards Crater Lake in the spring with my MG M2.

Thanks for the post!

Wow breathtaking pics OP! Thanks for sharing the journey! Didn't realize the dramatic change of landscape Oregon has to offer. Will definitely remember that.

Not sure yet. Lots of great ideas, but I sure love it the way it is and don't really need to spend the $$

Thanks! I live in Eagle, so that was my starting point. Love the roads to the north as well, but really love the variety and lack of other vehicles over in Oregon.

Here are some more trips I've done in the M2 this year:

Haha, nice. I suppose I should have looked at your info to know that. If you see an LCI MG M2 running around town, that's me...

The number of M2s around here seems to be growing quickly. Need to get a group of them together for some drives and pics

Very nice. I've been thinking all summer about making the loop over to Baker City then up to Imnaha - Joseph - Enterprise and back to La Grande. But I guess I procrastinated too long. As you found out, it's a little late in the season. The weather in the Wallowa Mountains and the Blue Mountains can turn in a hurry. Anyway, very nice road trip, nice pics.
