The Cherohala Skyway is a pretty sick drive too.

I was there for Tougefest as well! Saw you a few times but seemed we were always heading in the opposite direction. I think that happened last year too. Would love to do a BMW/e46 specific meet up.

In Nashville and would love to join a meet-up. I've made many day trips out of it and weekends staying down at Fontana Dam, and I've never once seen a cop on the Tail itself.

I assume the tree of shame is still there? (TotD became popular earlier with the sportbikers, and there was a tree of broken fairings that marked the numerous eats there) The last I've been was on a sportbike, and even stayed at the motel at the base. Great road, would be ideal for cars as the E46 M3s - albeit the lack of low-end power/torque might be limiting.

Planning on going next year with a few buddies. Did it 2020. Roads outside the tail are way better. Would love to drive with more M3s

I was close-by 2 weeks ago. A 488 Pista was upside-down.

I'm down for a drive if we want to get a group together, if not TOTD we could just as easily drive the Blue Ridge Parkway.

I use to live a couple hours from 129, I only ever got to take my 325i on it. I would love to one day get my M3 out there!
