Great article mate, I am impressed to see a new BMW M3 with manual gearbox from the States! Not that the DCT gearbox is not great, but I am a big fan of the stick!

I also hail from Romania, but I live in Sweden.

How was the parking situation in Croatia ? Im sure you got a hotel with guarded self-parking, but were the spots decently sized or were you constantly worried about being dinged?

What about the other locations? You mentioned self parking outside of Rome, but again, were the spaces large enough or protected enough that dings were not a concern ?

Same thing with Lake Como ?

Finally, you mentioned you drove the ring "well within safe limits".. For some of us that haven't tracked their cars their entire lives, is it still drivable/fun or is it dangerous because you end up holding up other people that are track junkies and much faster ?

Thanks!
There is room for parking in Croatia depending on the city as well but wasn't hesitant there at all. Italy is a different story it requires patience and most likely will find a spot that will calm your nerves. I recommend just parking it at the hotel if possible then using the public transportation system as it is excellent in most of Europe.

It is still incredible to drive on the ring, just have to keep your eyes open on the rear view, simple stay to the right and people won't give you any problems when they pass.

Hopefully one day BMW Canada decides to offer the same package here.
Really Canada doesn't offer the discount? Could of sworn Canada got deals as well.

Nope, not yet, I might have a customer that wants to order an M, but if he delays his visit, we won't be able to deliver it by the end of the year.

If you do come back to Sibiu, be sure to come over to local BMW dealership

Great trip.

I visited all of the same places you have in the last few years. Lake Como and Switzerland in general is one of my favorite spots in Europe. So were Dubrovnik and Hvar in Croatia.

However, unlike you, I despise Rome, despite having been there twice. I've been all over Italy and I liked all cities that I visited: Milan, Florence, Sienna, Cinque Terra, Sardinia, Pompeii, Naples, etc.

But for some odd reason, I hate Rome. It's filthy, smelly, overcrowded, and hands down the biggest tourist trap in the world. I found that the Vatican, Collesuem, Pantheon, etc. all look great in the photos. But in person, I was very unimpressed. Sort of like Paris.

Personally, I was much more impressed with Lisbon, Portugal.

BTW, lake Lugano is also amazing in Switzerland. Try it next time. While in Switzerland, I advise everyone to drive through San Bernardino Pass. It's right there and only takes about 2 hours out of your way. Same goes for Stelvio Pass.

Anyways, congrats on the car. It looks great!

You're brave for taking your brand new M3 to Romania.
