Thanks for tagging along.
Just posting some more up

But, I'll do 450-500 miles if I have to. It's never a problem.

There are some desolate stretches - maybe the most without ANYTHING is 30 miles. No matter where you are, someone is living there. Go figure.

Honestly saying.I would love to drive with you either on the Alps, US or whatever place on the earth. Don't know if you like to do this trips at most alone or let's say on your own rhythm. First year I met mjn77 and i just want to keep doing this for the rest of my life as many times I'm allowed to. If you ever plan to run or do a car trip in Europe please get in touch. At least I would like to shake your hand and appreciate what you've done already and shared with everyone.

Thanks. Alas, the M5C is now an M850. Still fun.

Here's a post from earlier this year with the M850

Sounds like a good group. I'll be sure to look you up if I ever get there again.
