Re: Calling for all E92 and E93 owners!!!
Hi Kevin I am driving e92. I have driven up North many times in the car. Taken her to KL 5-6 times, ipoh, Cameron Highlands, Kuantan. Maybe wana try for Penang but my wife refuses...
I like the social element in convoy drives and its also safer. Especially if we run into unforeseen complications like breakdown, flat tyre etc.
I had a bad experience last year when I had a side-wall fracture in my tyre and i had no spare. The tire repair kit cannot repair a side-wall fracture and I was stuck in Simpang Ringang for afew hours trying to look for 19" tires.
The convoys offer some safety and support. But some of the convoys i drove in were too darn slow....in one convoy it took over 10 hrs to get to Cameron and we were doing 120kph all the way.....
Maybe with a convoy of BMWs we can do a faster leg and also have some safety factor....PML also organises convoy drives but only once a year....
I think driving in singapore can drive anyone mad...so i always like to goup North to stretch her legs alittle...nothing too fast...max i hit is 200kph and only momentarily when overtaking...mostly i drive at a steady safe pace of 140-180kph...
Just sharing my thoughts...and it need not be all coupes...or BMWs...any decent reliable car make will do to form up a convoy but the focus is also on providing some back-up support...in the form of mechanics and recovery vehicle...
If there are bros here interested i can try to make some calls and organise a 1st trip...we can do this together maybe as i have never organised this before...the planning and organising and logitical elements would also be challenging but it acts to the fun factor too....

Hi nightwind, which car you driving?
Sure, I like that idea but before that, let's rally a few fellow brothers and sisters first!
