Alpine white M2/Edelweiß LT3/BMW HAS in the Swiss Alps

Absolutely fantastic…. Car, mods, photography & location. Stunning!

Stunning photography! We did Klausen back in early June 2019 in a rented M2 Comp - I was devastated to miss out on Gotthard/Furka/Grimsel/Susten as they were all still closed at that time. It took over 4 years to get back there - was finally able to do those 4 passes (plus 24 more!) just over 3 weeks ago (8/27) on my 911 ED trip. Glad you had nice weather - unfortunately for us it was raining all through the first 3 passes - we were only able to get some pics on Susten. We went further down Gotthard the next day (8/28) and it was snowing at the top! We skipped the old road since it was pouring rain (again), so I have extra appreciation for your fantastic photos of it!

I'm sorry to read that you had bad weather on the first passes. At least you have a reason to come to Switzerland again ;-)
As I live only 400km from the Susten Pass, I have the opportunity to go there spontaneously.
I had the idea on Wednesday and went to Switzerland on Saturday and Sunday after the weather forecast was good.

Gorgeous shots and an amazing setup for the G87! Looks great!

I'm in Berlin, and will definitely be taking trips through the Alps with my M2 when it comes. Thanks for the inspiration!

Absolutely amazing mate, cant express enought how good that looks! Such beautiful scenery in all the pics!
Will you get any more aesthetic mods or keep it looking simple but amazing?

It is my second job, which was born from the hobby of photography and filming.

Very well observed. That was very close and could have quickly meant the end of the little drone.

The main mods are done. I'm thinking about subtle front splitter and rear spoiler. But I must like the parts very much and they must be approved for Germany. With approval for Germany, there are currently unfortunately not many parts for the M2.
Almost forgotten: I will still exchange the mirror caps against the carbon ones
