Welcome to another of my non sense posts.
Cheers!
Driving around more than 2000 Km in a Beemer is a really nice experience, I have had the occasion to do it many times in three different models, (120i M Sport / Cabrio, 320dA M/// Sports sedan) but the 420 M Sport Cabriolet is the GOD of them all, comfy, loud, fast, asphalt biting machine (with heated seats to extend the cabrio experience into late November in western Europe.)
Note the HUD, for once i am not speeding
Note to french authorities: I never SPEED, all pictures showing excess speed on the HUD are taken while SWINM was driving
Something very annoying of the HUD is that even thought the car has a camera that reads the speed limitations, it tends to get confused when there are exit signs and reads their limitation, another one is that speed limits change so often in motorways in france that the GPS is never up to date and when there are no signs many times it takes info from the GPS and that results in unwanted flashes.
Entering Grenoble offers a magnificent view of the French Alpes, which i am sure a better Photographer would have managed to capture, I'm not that bad but trying to drive and take pictures is like 10 different traffic offenses, so I do what i can when traffic jams allow.
It is very stressful to cross the tramway roads and they have constant yellow blinking traffic lights which do not change when Trams are around so it is a hit and miss. (In Nantes the traffic lights detect a Tram in the proximity and turn red, I prefer that)
The Driving position is comfortable, however there is no wheel setting that allows you to see all the dash board, something always get hidden... Argghh...
I stopped on the side of the road for a wee pee, i am sure no one wants to fall down that cold stream... but it made for a nice picture.
This natural tunnel was very hard to capture in movement, there are like 10000 shots that are blurry, I love the colors and the light on this one.
And finally to celebrate I stopped for a rest, I found this bottle of Rhum from my country (uttely overpriced, but hey wth), note the phone on the side?
I am guessing it is so you can call home once you've drank the whole bottle.
Well that is all for now.
My internet is very slow and it takes ages to load pictures to the posts.
Hope you enjoyed.

PS: I will get the 105K € that an actual M4/// costs... However i will wait for the facelift...
