Moonstone M4 in Milan

GrussGott · 10-15-2014, 05:15 AM

Driving into the center of Milan at 530p is not recommended, but great to not have destroyed the car

I apologize, great choice of color. This is the first M4 vert I have seen in moonstone, I like it a lot!

Dope shot! Hope you find some good parking soon. I recommend public transportation. Car looks great btw

I was hesitant about the color and it being pearly - it's not... in person its fantastic on this car: every indirect line and surface glows gold, direct light highlights green with red halos. Italians love it - it draws crowds. It definitely feels special and it gets the "I've seen those but what's that??"

That said I wouldn't call it a track color like yas, ay, or SO and it's not badass like black.

I have seen moonstone on e90M in person and agree with you its a fantastic color almost chameleon like under various lighting

Ha, definitely, we only picked hotels with private secure garages but anything can happen. I was terrified driving next to the lake in lugano, almost got hit so many times we ditched and turned around.

On the way to Zurich a dude switched lanes in front of me and kept going right into the center wall... Almost flipped and kicked up tons of rocks... I got chips out of the bumped, roof, and windshield... Nothing too serious, coulda been a lot worse!

I found the same thing in the city of Brescia, Italy. My recollection was no stop lights at all just round-a-bouts everywhere. Of course Italians don't know yield or stop just "go for it"

Glad you made it safe and sound.

We found a nice hotel on the edge of Milan - you were bold to head for City Center.

That's crazy. Reminds me of my travels in France during my ED, driving in Nice was nerve wrecking. Don't worry about the windshield they'll replace it at the VPC

Good to hear about the windshield, but oh shit about Nice - We're heading there soon! Any advice on getting in?

F80JMcD · 10-15-2014, 12:25 PM

Love the color! Looks good.

I would try my best not driving in centreville (downtown) if I were you. The AC hotel has a private garage so I would park there and not get back in my car until it's time to leave public transportation there was very efficient. What hotel are you at staying? Monte Carlo is also hell to drive in 9/10 if you planned on going there but the aquarium is really nice

Thanks for that tidbit. I had planned to do just that on my way from Interlaken to Lenno when I do my ED next summer.

Once I get back l'll post some video of the "roads" we had to drive trying to find our way out... sidewalk width. It's basically a patience & panic personality test

Looking forward to. Enjoy your trip. I'm also ending my trip in Nice so really can't wait to read about your trip. The car is stunning!
