The X3M really is meant for mountain roads isnt it? Now you see just how incredible a machine it really is!

Very cool! I thought about going there after our pickup but did not have enough time, however, our backroads trip to the blueridge/Asheville was full of twisties also so got to have some fun and feel the handling capabilities of this beast.

Nice video! I've not gotten there yet with my X3M, and I'm only 4 hours away!

A lot of folks don't like how tight and relatively slow it is but I enjoy the repetitive flow of one corner after another after another.... although behind slow traffic its like you're in the Twilight Zone and can't escape.

You should have been in the passenger seat where I was residing trying not to vomit in my friend's new car.

Instead of playing music that I wasn't a big fan of I was sincerely hoping to hear the exhaust note be the soundtrack instead...

A lot slower than I was expecting but on that road I would probably do the same thing in a newer ride like yours. To take it harder you want full confidence. Cool video and hope you keep them coming, would like to see you do it again with more confidence. Very good staying inside the yellow, one of my biggest pet peeves on that road with cars traveling it.

I for one John thoroughly appreciated your video , a beautiful production , and what an amazing road to put some miles on your new X3M as you head up to your "run in" service.
Perhaps the word "Attacking" might have provided some of your audience with a slightly skewed expectation .. not a criticism, just an observation Aspects I did not expect to see from your video. An out and out ballsy drive with red line gear changes and windshield face plant breaking, and pushing the X3M to absolute limits for the given road and conditions. The odd glimpse of your tach had you between 2-4k rpms , demonstrating what an ideal road for a real world "run in" process. Good skills mate .. the music suited the cruise so well
