Post your daily ZHP/BMW/MINI pics!

Nice. Wish we had roads like that close by; I have to drive over an hour and a half to get to a mountain area worth driving on.
Not sure canyons are the best place to learn the limits though. It's a mighty high fall.

Yeah this is on another level from anything I can remember driving on in the Bay Area.

I am not going to explore limits on this road. I didn't trigger the stability control or anything. Getting the car somewhere safe where I can really push it is on my to do list.

The beauty of this car is you can have fun even if you're not going that fast.
Even though I take it easy on my daily drive to/from work, I still enjoy every minute of driving this car, even if it is at 6th gear at 30mph. Then when I get to open it up a bit, it's more appreciated.

There are some backroads here that are just as much fun at 5 over the limit as they are at 20, all because of this car. It's too easy to have fun.

You make me miss my old car.

Why, because it's too easy to hoon with the S54 and makes it harder to enjoy it at slow speeds as well? lol

That's why I don't need an E46 M3 in my life right now.

The limits of this car are about the same as the ZHP except you can all too easily, get pass them in half the time. LOL. I like some of my stomping grounds where I could floor my ZHP and never worry about loss of traction and death. Now I fear both, midway into apex. Haha.

Where did you drive around the bay? I'm always looking for new roads. I think I've found some pretty good gems over the years... Nothing with snow in the background though :P

I have to admit the car had more grip than I was expecting, even with these awful Kumhos (maybe not so awful in this application). Cant wait to wear them out so I can throw on Micehlin PSS and go out with them.

In the peninsula, try Skyline drive and the roads that shoot off of it (84, Page Mill Rd, 9 & 236 and the smaller roads). In the east bay I don't know as well but I remember driving on roads around the Calaveras Reservoir when I was growing up in that area (like Calaveras Road) and having a lot of fun. The North Bay there is a lot of great roads that shoot off of highway 1 heading east as you make your way north.

Bear Creek Road is epic as well, more of a hidden gem driving road as a lot of bikers occupy it. But go at the right time and it is INSANE.
