F90 M5 Comp vs Tail of the Dragon(Pic heavy)

iron_man · 04-08-2021, 11:15 AM

So last week I drove my M5 Comp from New Orleans up to Tail of the Dragon for my birthday with my girlfriend and pup. We ended up getting a cabin in the mountains which was pretty relaxing. Tbh the only reason I drove up there was for the dragon and to see how the car handled the mountains. With that being said, the car handled like an absolute monster up in the mountains. I couldn't be happier with her. Even for being 4300lbs shes pretty nimble and I was able to outrun anyone that got on my bumper. Here are some pics that I got of the trip. Anyone ever taken their M up to the tail?

I’ve had my M3 up there many times, always a great adventure. I’m doing a PCD pickup on my M5C in the next month or so, and plan to drive back to Nashville via the Dragon, spending a night at Tapoco Lodge. Can’t wait!

Looks like an awesome trip, and glad you got to enjoy it with the family too.

That’s my plan as well. I recommend the Tapoco Lodge if you’re looking for someplace to stay in the area.
