October can be risky. Most of the mountain passes are already closing by that time.
Thank you for the names of the passes.

I might not be able to do the passes then.

Fingers crossed. You can check the TCS website nearer that time. But its in German though.

Doing damn good, I've been spending a lot of time in the mountains here this summer myself. Not quite the Alps...more like "Alps lite". M cars are at home around the mountains, much fun! Beautiful photo shoot with your M2, I miss the Alps! Mount St Helens and Mount Hood here.

It's like almost impossible to showcase the real LBB color in pictures. Always turn out too much on the blue side.

Mountains are mountains regardless where they are located. We still get the fun driving on the passes and that's the most important thing.

Here's a couple more sweeping alpine views ...
