For such a trip we will look forward to be supplied with some tools that will help us to engage each other. This set of walkies-talkies hopefully will do the job. Does anyone have experience with such specially on high altitude scene?

Any feedback is welcome!

My 1M will turn 10 this year so I am really tempted to go on this tour! I have driven most of these passes on multiple motorbike tours and they’re a blast!

Thanks Denis! I can tell you that currently we've a beautiful line-up for the tour. A few M3's, M2's, M6, my M140i and other cars. An 1M would be fantastic to add! For this tour we've carefully picked up a route and schedule and booked the hotels from day 1 to end. If you're interested ping me on PM.

M8Bimmer I strongly believe we can be together on a tour either on this or any other we'll plan in the future. Who knows in your own area. That's also on our radar.

Thank you so much Sir ...you are a Gentleman.
I don't want to give the impression Canada doesn't have great scenery. Of course we do. It's just not close to me unfortunately. Canada is vast. Many thousand of Km's of highways. Getting to them though is a big deal. Huge km's just to get anywhere.
In southern Ontario it's like a giant race track. With very unfriendly "officials" (police) to remind you financially $$$$.
A possible for me would be to ship the car to British Columbia, 4 thousand KM's from me. About $3k CAD for me both ways. Then I could drive the very nice roads of BC and then ship it back. That could work.
I used to go the USA and drive around Kentucky, Tennessee, Virginia, Pennsylvania and New York state. GREAT roads there. But no giant mountains like you guys get to drive. Still quite nice if you like to blast. Lots of tight curves and banked corners to rip through.
