nice pics!
that overpass that they're just finishing at kicking horse pass is some crazy engineering feat eh? pretty incredible ...
sounds like you guys came down the coquihalla, i just cooked my rotors on that stretch a couple of weeks ago .....
yeah that is exactly where we came down, no kidding re: cooking rotors! the crosswinds and dudes in pickups tailgating me down the mountains didn't help either!
the overpass was incredible, I didn't mind getting stuck in traffic when I had that to look at.
the 85.5 is sub grade fuel that makes a lawn mower choke... regular unleaded is 87 octane

Awesome..awesome pics and story! Been long wanting to do that trip friend of a friend been telling such beautiful sites to see there. Wondering just preparation you did with the E34 for the long trip?
I agree with you all... great pics!!! Would love to have a trip like that.

Other than that, nothing more than an oil change when I left and an oil change when I got back - I also bought some spray on bug remover that worked wonders for the 13-14 hour driving days.
I bought the car in December and had most of the major issues taken care of then, and the car has held up remarkably since.
Fair play that is some trip!! The pics are awesome!
With regards to the fuel.. I cant believe your octane level is so low! our lowest octane is 95 and the highest atm is 102.. I use 99 myself
