As we do on many occasions, we got together with a few RoadStrs to go out and do what we like most: to go for a drive.
And this is when “she appeared”
Our friends Alex and Jose, representatives from BMW M, step out and after a short greeting, we inevitably start bombarding them with questions about the M8 Competition.

After being hypnotized by “the pretty girl from high school”, we started our route through some windy roads in the area.
We’re in the car behind the BMW, and it’s interesting to see how the M8, with its more than 4.80 meter length and a weight close to 2 tons, easily connects through the curves. All of this accompanied by its sound, and while it’s not so loud, it is just enough to let you know that something very big is hidden beneath that hood. Without a doubt, as soon as you put your foot on the accelerator, you’ll disappear around the next curve.
After spending a while enjoying our cars, we finally arrived at the mythical Puerto de Puebla de la Sierra, where we let our engines cool down while enjoying incredible views. And of course, we ended with a long discussion about the thing we love most: cars!
