Beautiful car in a beautiful setting!

Whereabouts are those photos taken? I would like to go there when I go for my roadtrip to Italy.

Hey! We have the exact same car!

Looks good I might add, haha

Beautiful car, pictures, and surroundings! There's many people in the States that wish we could get the hatch. I don't think enough to support selling it here though, which is just too bad.

Why do the hills have polka-dots on them?

Love the hatch, thanks for sharing!

It's actually the flying saucers traces left thru the night when they rest on earth and start eating the bodyes of captured humans... (close BBQs of the third kind!)

The place where the pics where taken it's the TERMINILLO mountain not too far from Rome...

Here is what the area looks like in winter...

Lovely place!!

Great car, great scenery! So jealous that you have such good roads to drive on. I drove some alpine passes in May and it was the best driving I have experienced, like Gran Turismo made real!

Unfortunately i live in Rome, where the streets as you can imagine are a bit rough.. we still have many "mosaic roads" built with stones from the ancient times which we can't get rid of..

Like this..

So for a nice drive you need to leave the city (at least 1/2 hours drive) and then yeah.. i agree... there could be some nice roads.

Ppl living in Norther Italy do have a better chance to enjoy their cars with great trip to the alps etc.

When i want to have real fun i just drive 1400Km to Nurburgring and i am in heaven!

Never been with a 130i as yet.. need to set it up for track first... :smile:

I was lucky enough to do the trip in a 997 turbo. Lake Maggiore to Lake Lucerne via St Gotthard's pass, then back over again another route. Ended up in Geneva at the end of the day. Summer flowers and sunshine, then rain, up to the snowline and over, awesome!

Yeah.. too bad in Switzerland you are supposed to drive at not more than 90 / 100 /110Km/h .... and they have speed cameras everywhere !!!

I prefer Germany for "spirited" drive! :wink:
