Phenomenal trip, F8SEVEN. Thanks for sharing and inspiration!
Does your vehicle have summer or all season tires? I always wanted to take a similar tip but the summer tires on my vehicle allow scheduling only during the summer. |

Yeah this is a phenomenal trip. I am from NE South Dakota and have family in North Dakota. Fun fact, my best friend's wife is from Bowman, ND (they live in Phoenix now). They got married there and I was in the wedding. Remember that quaint little town. Some beautiful roads and scenery in the Dakota's. I picked up an E46 M3 from Canada and stored in ND temporarily, but I specifically thinking about that windshield time driving back the 8 hours to my hometown and thinking how peaceful and relaxing the drive was and how amazing it is to see for miles down the road and have absolutely nothing around you.
Well done! Thanks for sharing. |

Wow, so I was wondering how long it'd take for this road trip to make the homepage...didn't expect 4 months!

Awesome trip! Thanks for sharing. You found an incredible number of backroads to explore.
Your writeup hints a partner was along for the trip. Kudos to them for going along for the ride. Not every passenger loves a winding back road. You may have inspired me to take a road trip!

In between Ouray and Montrose there is a small place called Ridgway. Right off 550, look for a place called Cafe Ridgway a La Mode. Some of the absolute BEST ice cream I have ever had. They have this flavor called Bunny Tracks, out of this world.

Wow, that's like an M2 owners dream come true. The car, great roads and scenery, and awesome food and people along the way! Question: did you take a spare tire with you or just say a Hail Mary?😃🍔🍺

No spare...just went for it! There were many places where I thought, well if she goes flat now, we're f***ed!

You should go for it! In fact, not to shamelessly self-promote my posts, but if ya'll look at my sig, it's loaded with the road trips that actually were good enough to make the sig. The return from PCD in the M2, the M4 2 week cross country (and back) trip and my 230i ED about 5 years back. I was raised in a road trip family and I am a firm believer that the only way to properly see anyplace is to get in the car and go. Some of my favorite road trips actually never got posted because they weren't in BMWs!
