  • It's time to start my 7800 km long road trip to Arctic Circle at Norway. I travelled over 11 days, crossing 7 countries to reach my final destination.
    It was an absolutely amazing adventure, so big thank you guys from BMW Performance Car Club for organising and planning the trip for the members.
    This part if focused on the two days I spent in the car traveling to Norway, the two days which were much more eventful than I expected.

      I absolutely loved it, although, it would be probably a bit too quiet for me long term. You are very lucky to live in such a beautiful place on earth.

    Norway is so wonderful. Been there twice in the last two years. Was just in Kristiansand. What a beautiful place. As for speed in Germany, I was driving my Euro delivery 2011 M3 on the autobahn at a comfortable 120mph and was completely dusted by a 5 series diesel wagon. It was glorious to just cruise at those speeds and know the other drivers were disciplined and respectful.

    I do the opposite trip every year on our summer vacation. It's quite a nice drive, but germany is always a disappointment with traffic (and roadworks). Same for Belgium and Denmark. The best countries for maintaining a high average speed are France and Sweden, mostly cos there are fewer cars on the motorways.
    The Danes often do those border "chicanes" and stops incidentally.

    • @ahlsn7346
      @ahlsn7346 19 วันที่ผ่านมา

      Haha I agree. In Germany I often average below 100km/h despite pushing 160-180km/h in vacation traffic. Once I enter Denmark my average speed increases and in Sweden as well. In Sweden I can often average 125-130km/h (not legal, but below losing drivers licens margin).

    • @MDrives
      @MDrives  16 วันที่ผ่านมา

      I agree, autobahns are usually packed with cars. France is much nicer because French don’t like to pay for motorways and use local roads when they can.
