It all started with Tim's idea, and without hesitation, Cyrill, Seya, and Julian were fully on board. Little did anyone know that the adventure would turn out to be this monumental.
A massive shout-out to all our sponsors.

This video deserves so many more views. I checked how many subscribers this channel has about halfway through the video, and I am completely BLOWN away by the production value of a channel this small
That‘s so nice to hear. We‘re not really focused on TH-cam because we rather work for private clients :). You’ll find more of our work at www.alpineracer.ch
I did almost the same in 2019, on Volkswagen T3, from Ukraine (Zaporizhzhya) to Nordkapp. Total 8600 km. It was 1 week after i bought this car with 1,6 atmo diesel, with broken exhaust, and wery dirty engine. I dont prepared car for long road, just pushed a gas. It was great experience! Without money (just for fuel), without autonomic heater, and other luxuries. I slept in car, it was so cozy, like in grandmas home. It was great trip!
sooo cool
вауу! Лайк за це, на т3 це сильно!
In winter?
@@AndersSommerlund it Was april, but after we cross Arctic circle, offcourse it feels like winter, it was huge quantity of snow.
This is a pure masterpiece. This entire video is simply breathtaking and amazing.
Driving these cars in a crazy ways, showing that these cars still hold a punch and that they aren’t just a little museum toys or perhaps a weekend ride which I assume it is for many E30 owners right now.
A beautiful landscape, it felt like a documentary. Awesome cinematography and overall experience was great. Please keep these videos coming.
Much support and love for all my car enthusiasts! ❤🎉
thank you a lot! that's so true
I love Norway. I drove a similar route in old Volvo in the summer and it was great. Winter will be even cooler, but I don't have the balls for it yet. Good job guys
Won‘t be hard in a Volvo ;). Go and do the trip you won‘t forget it 🙌🏻
That beemer is a beaut! Great video 👌🏽 amazing Airbnbs! And some laugh out loud moments haha well done. Look forward to more content
Great to finally see this masterpiece of a video. I actually met you at the North Cape and at a gas station shortly after (Maybe you even remember me, I'm german and went there in an old green Volvo with Spike wheels on the roof). And all of a sudden I open TH-cam today and see this thumbnail 😂 Great work guys!
INSANE QUALITY 4K FEELS BETTER THAN EYESIGHT IRL
I hope your eyesight is close as good as the cameras quality ;)
How can you produce a movie with this amount of content and quality, and not have AT LEAST 600k subscribers??
You guys deserve way more views and subscribers than what you have now, thank you for a great movie!
Thank you very much for the kind words, we‘re working on our TH-cam consistency ;). We are more active on Instagram 🙌🏻
what a piece of art and an adventure at the same time.
Thanks 😊
I love this video. I remember my dad used to have a E30 with Diesel engine and this was the first time I drove a car. I was at the age of 7 and he let me drive it on our big property and I loved this car. Looking at the interior in this video, it throws me back to the good old days. Going fishing, recoverying my other grandpas car from the forest near german border after he got drunk and left his whole forester equipement, a gun and multiple chainsaws in the car and actually nothing got stolen.
You know, in my opinion, the old BMW look better than the new ones. The round headlights, the small grill, the durability of the engine if you drive it like a normal person.
I wanted to get one for myself but I didn't found any overpriced ones and I went with a Mercedes ML with LPG and Gasoline fuel system but I was unlucky and crashed it in poland because of black ice and it was 4 days after I bought it :P
But yeah, I still have my 23 years old Audi A6 Avant with a modified 230hp 2.5 TDI V6 engine and it always brought me to my destination.
This year I'm planning to get a Mercedes W124 or a W201 (190D) and I hope I get enought money to buy one of those two cars since I got a promotion in January and as production manager I earn like 3600Euro per month and I need 8000Euro to get some very decent car.
Sure, I won't have AC but I driven with broken AC on my Audi in Summer at 32*c for 2300km to Bulgaria XD
I guess driving without AC for your most of your life gives you some sort of heat resistance.
Guys! Well done! 👏 At least this time I’m thankful to TH-cam for recommending your video. I feel I’ve just been to North Cape with you! Amazing footage and drone shoots! Best video I’ve watched so far this year! Going to check your website now.
Thanks for the compliment 😊
Wow, what a great video with many beautiful pictures. The idea with the E30 was really top, at a time when everyone with some older 911 films such trips, the BMW brings a nostalgic refreshment to this topic. Thanks for the cool trip.
thanks a lot!!
Have 50 minutes just passed... feels like I just started watching?!
Awesome to hear
Great video guys! Was there after my graduation in 2014 with old Peugeot 205 diesel and tent. Good vibes :)
That also sounds like one of a trip
Nice video, i drove my e34 518i to the Nordkapp in 2022
Great Video guys!
Very cool trip and stunning cinematography!
Thanks a lot!
We need more of this!🤩
Now that's how you roadtrip!!!! Epic and top notch... What a lifelong memory.
Indeed. We‘ll never forgett
I've been sleeping in same home from your DAY6, it is one of best places I was during my journey through Norway 5 yrs ago
By a e30 guy from Italy: you are so COOL guys! Great video and thank you a lot for all these emotions!!
lots of love from lapland. I was in mosjoen last week and what a beautiful town! Im def going there again in the fall with my Lada
Mosjoen was absolutely beautiful, enjoy the teip with your Lada :)
Rad video guys. I recently completed a cross-country of the US in a 25 year old Honda racecar, I wish so badly we had taken the time to film.
What a great video! You guys are clearly such great friends and very comfortable with each other. Your E30 is a real beauty, wonderful to see you all enjoy it so much with fun roads and fantastic scenery!
Thanks for you feedback. Yeah, we are really close friends.
What an amazing video it is. Love from India guys, brilliant quality stuff. I just hope if I could ever make it this big.
Thank you very much 🙏🏻
Funny the opening voice over goes "The North Cape, known for its harsh environment...". In South Africa, we have the Northern Cape. Also known for its harsh environment. But its dry and very hot. Very very hot. The Kalahari dessert is found there. Cool video.
ohh yeah true
What a great video to be recommended on a chill sunday. Man that night convoy... you may aswell have been driving on the surface of mars it felt that cut off from mankind.
Yeah the environment looked quite harsh. And the wind gusts where also quite intense
Fantastic video, this puts the "big" names to shame. Well done, safe travels and keep enjoying what you do.
Thanks a lot
This is a really cool video. Excellent production - and a cool road trip!
Super gemacht, vielen Dank!
danke vielmals
Top Video, I have enjoyed it.
Thanks a lot
Amazing drone shots and overall production👍 Surprised you dont emphasize that its the IX all wheel drive e30 you are driving since sliding it sideways is a bit of a struggle. I am curious to how effective the heater in the cabin was in the coldest areas?
What an awesome trip! :D
Thanks :)
I watched the video with great admiration. You guys are great...👏
That sounds beautiful ❤️❤️❤️
Loved every second of the video 🙏🙌 stunning work, guys! Now I am looking even more for our own road trip in Norway during the upcoming summer 😁
Absolute stars, if you guys keep producing content of this quality you'll soon get the recognition you deserve, I'm now a subscriber, and you only popped up in my recommended section.... so entertaining, thanks lads ❤👍👍👍
Insane film, love it !
Thanks a lot
Great Trip and amazing video! Thanks :)
thanks a lot
That is gooood, I’m sick, lying in bed and watching this ahahah but now feeling much better 😎
I hope you are better now :) thanks
Wow. Awesome roadtrip. I have been to the North Cape myself, although in the middle of summer. Going to Norway in Winter is on the list of "Trips TH-cam told me to take". Also, great car to take there.
Mega geils Video u ä richtig geilä Trip! Respäkt heit dir's düräzogä! Wiiter so u auziit gueti Fahrt! 😎
Danke dir :)
Amazing video, well done guys! 👌
Cool video guys 👍 greetings from a 80s car guy in Norway 😀
Fascinating
Thanks!
This is great! And such a small channel? You deserve much more, I’m sure that will come with time.
This would be a dream of mine to do once my car is finished, but it’s not an IX!
great video, love it!
thanks a lot :)
You guys fit into the Norwegian culture right away. Fun loving criminals, driving 9 over the limit and stuff😂 It's embarrassing we have those levels of fines for speed here.. Quite a few of us has a special fund for paying speeding tickets ready to go when that happens. I was reminded, There is a Norwegian movie made about a race towards Nordkapp. Its called "Børning" from 2014. You will find that one familiar and therefore pretty fun 😊
Lovely video you guys made! I really liked it!
Thanks a lot. Yeah the Norwegian culture is really lovely 🫶🏼
this is so cool!!!!
Cool super nice done❤
thanks a lot
an ix only driven during summer? love the video, please more videos with the e30!
Perfect video.. pleasure 🤤 thx !
Thank you!
Awesome trip with the bimmer! Can't wait to get my own e30
Dir sit geili Sieche ei! Rechtig gueti arbeit 🤙🏼😎
Danke dir vell mal
Gammelhuset = old house. I dont know if its only a northern Germany thing, but food that has gone moldy is "gammelig", it comes from low german were gammel means old aswell.
Ahh we thought about this!
Amazing trip! In my opinion, the reality TV-style interviews are not necessary, just do your own thing. In any case, beautiful scenery and imagery, congrats!
Thanks for the feedback.
The thought the interviews are necessary sometime to understand the whole story. But thanks for this input
@@Alpineracer You're right, some form of explanations are very useful for context and storytelling, I'm just thinking that you guys are at your best when you're natural. Not sure what would be the best format, but perhaps something to think about? Again, it's a detail. Overall great work on this massive project.
I like the style
this is so cool guys! we were going to head up there let week but weather was not on our side :(
good luck guys
sehr sehr geil !
danke dir Tiggi. Das nächste Mal mit dem European Speed Club als Partner
Sick stuff! Excited what comes in the future :)
We‘re also looking forward to the next adventure
Awesome that youtube suggested this video! I saw this car somewhere along the roads... Can't remember where tho (I live in trondheim, but work not too far from nordreisa) This trip must have been a blast for you guys!
Thats awesome to hear. The algorithm of TH-cam finally doing good :) 🫶🏼
Beautiful country you guys have
excellent video lads
This shows the M20 engine is the BEST hands down!!
3:38 "through whole of Denmark" most uneventful 3 hours of the drive I'm sure😂
Well Germany was actually more boring 😅
Courage les gars!
🥰
great film you guys made, so thats a big thumbs up (y) :-D but please try to do some driving courses, those slides did not look controlled at all and I don´t want you guys get hurt or smash up that beautiful e30 :-D
thanks a lot :) we actually go this summer with TB Motorsport on track for a drift course
The first time I've seen someone who actually could have used the E30 extra equipment that exists, the "ski bag" which basically is a bag of sorts that fit over the hole behind the center arm lean in the back seat, so you can put skis in without getting the interior wet. ( A friend who doesn't even take his E30 out in winter has one for his, just because it's not common to have. :P )
Edit:
And yes, it's expensive in Norway, the 120kph in the 70kph zone, would have cost you your drivers license as a Norwegian. :P
Well done boys!👏 Great car! Great adventure! Great videographer! Great team! Thank you for sharing with us. Did you drove back the e30? Or send it back in container ship? 😃
Thanks a lot. Yes we drove all the way back :)
legends! 😎
danke Sladi :)
A +200€ ticket for 9 km/h over is crazy. In Germany thats what the police does haha. If your driving exactly the speed limit in a bigger city you might be pulled over because they think you have something to hide, happend to my driving instructor in Hamburg more than 10 years ago.
😂😂😂
definitely e30 made this trip way better
indeed :)
Magnifique !!!
Merci.
Quelles marques et quels modèles aviez vous sur les 2 voitures ?
That's crazy
thanks !!!
atemberaubend
Daaaaaaankeeeee
Good trip Guys. My son and myself would like to do the same with my 1982 porsche 911 SC. And I have a couple of questions. 1 - in which month did you go there? 2 - did you use just winter tyres or spikes?
Hi Roger, that would be an amazing trip to do with your son!
1. We went during February, however we suggest going during march when there is more snow and less unpredictable weather.
2. Good winter tyres (scandinavian spec) are essential but spikes are not necessary if you‘re only planning to stay on the road. If you want to hit the ice and do some drifting definitely get spikes.
W O W!
Youve been talking about checking the oil level inside the Transfercase, as far as im concerned that is the only hint in this Video that your E30 is an actual "IX"?! Is it one? Yall haven't been talking to much about th Car itself.
Great video, first class content, thank you. ❤
Yes it indeed is an IX.
The give away is the side skirts, only the 325 ix has got those
@@bikerofswitzerland130 That is so
What tyres did u use?
Vredestein winter tyres 🙌🏻 they are amazing
How long did it take you to get home again? (And did you take the same route, or via sweden?)
We went via Sweden and where back home in 72 Hours :). Was quite a race against time
@@Alpineracer Thanks!
Quick question : is it an E30 X-Drive? 😳 you pictured the whole trip very well …there’s a big rumor inside of me now 😎
Yes it is indeed an ix
@@Alpineracer nice , I thought for a blink of a sec when you where spinning that the font wheels are crawling too 😅👍🏻 the AirB&B’s you stayed , is there a list you could/ want to share ? 😊 they look pretty decent 🤩
No it is all wheel drive ;)
Sadly we don’t have a list any more for the airbnbs we stayed at.
@@Alpineracer 😪😪😪😪😪😪😪😪😪😪
About 256 € for 9 over... damn. I thought speeding fines in Finland were bad but here you would only get 70-100 € for 9 over.
super expensive
How much did that trip cost all in all? These Airbnbs looked quite luxurious! Plus, the E30 must've guzzled fuel like there was no tomorrow...
To be honest it was quite humane. I can’t exactly tell you how much it cost, but somewhere around 10k for two cars, food for two weeks and four people, Airbnbs for the four of us.
E30s rock. The iX in winter Norway is probably peak utility. Only car that needs to survive the apocalypse :) Regarding your speeding ticket, this is Norway in a nutshell. Symbolically idiotic. Try being on you phone while driving - 10.200 NOK! (966USD / 898 EUR). Even when it's on speaker in the passenger seat.
That sounds terrifying
How much cost this stop in Bavaria in Oslo ? 😀
Zero! They were a partner of the trip
Where in Switzerland did you guys start from?
Lucerne
Extrem geil 😮, e30 ❤
Danke :)
E30 FTW!! :)
Indeed
which e30 is this? 325ix?
Yes indeed
Missed the chance to see how beautiful is few countries which you skipped.
Poland, Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia
❤e30
If the cops would of seen 120 in 70 it would be byebye license lol, also the *drifting* you would of lost your license, its extremely strict..
Its funny you forgot the camera at the famous Espa bolleland gas station. Its a tradition for many travelers that drives past there to always grab a "bolle". To be fair, Its a pretty mediocre "bolle" or bun. But dont tell the locals😅 Its almost like a cult following behind this gas station and its "boller". You can even buy merch😅
Cheers from Norway
Shit. We should have bought some merch
They even sell underwear for women with "Espa Bolleland" on it. Yes its super wierd. No i dont know why😂
Anyways! Just finished watching this. Amazing video. Good storytelling, excellent camera work.
Im already looking forward to your next adventure.
Liked, subbed and shared
😎👍
Durring what month did you made this trip?
We started the Trip beginning of February amd reached the North Cap at around the 15th of February. We suggest going a bit later so maybe during march. :)
Which month was you going there?
we went during February :)
@ thank you - and btw I am an old guy who loved to Watch your tour and the quality off your film👍
What Brand is the white SUV?
Thats a Genesis GV70
like . Next? 😀
What should we do next?
Krassi sach!
Danke 1000
was is des für nen e30?
BMW 325 IX
Old BMW still powerfull..
mit nem 325ix zum nordpol damn super dick geil man besser gehts net
yihaaaaaa
The roads where closed due to troll hunting
