Hope you enjoy this one guys! 2020 has been a terrible year for travel and freedom in general, this should hopefully bring you along with us on our journey to the Italian alps. Cheers and stay safe ❤️

[@cara154]

Really nice, I wish I were there...I imagined myself having a cold beer sat in the terrace of the hotel contemplating the views. Nice drone shots too. Keep it up.

[@XStoneXat]

Great pictures, Joe! Lovely car, please pick me up next time here in Austria when you drive to the passo stelvio (in german it's called the Stilfser Joch)... ;)

[@kristofmiller7438]

Joe Achilles could u do a review on a roll Royce wraith full black

[@jasdeepsamra2437]

Hi Joe, great video! Can you provide the route you took to the Stelvio Pass? Looks like a great roadtrip that I would like to go along when life permits. Cheers!

[@DanielSadjadian]

6:08 The M8 Gran Coupe Comp looks absolutely gorgeous. Best looking model of the current BMWs for sure.

[@stevem2323]

Absolutely, maybe the new 3 series can compete and that's it. But 8 series is the best looking BMW in years.

[@Omgiamsotriggered]

2 door coupe kinda looks better to me.

[@peterkim3370]

I have to say, your tone of voice and the way you talk is so likeable and way underrated.

[@JoeAchilles1]

Thanks buddy 👌

[@StefABtv]

So jelly. Need to try do something like this before December or another lockdown!

[@JoeAchilles1]

Cheers buddy, sorry Lou replaced you on this one 🤣😘♥️

[@gregfry3545]

Great video Joe, I must say the production quality is excellent. Those drone shots of Stelvio are incredible. Thank-you!

[@DeltaDubai03]

The pre-view on Instagram already looked pretty good. The full video is a real delight!

[@liamcastro-wilkins3018]

One of my favourite ever videos of yours, and definitely a dream car and road trip combination. Some life inspiration right there!

[@balazsgalambos4458]

What a video,some editing,Stelvio is just stunning,shots are beautiful.Glad you enjoyed it,thanx for sharing

[@TeaPea111]

Great video Joe, you captured Stelvio really accurately as to how it is, over rated "driving road" but a beautiful picture. Good job.

[@scenicswissdrives1264]

Your opening drone shot is just killer. You were lucky to get the pass all to yourself. It has started snowing there, I guess after a couple of weeks after you were there.

[@JoeAchilles1]

Thank you! Yeah we heard literally 8-9 days after that was filmed the snow started to fall... Great timing 👌

[@marshallcameron5871]

Once a long term sub who watched occasionally, now I never miss an upload. What a transformation the channel has taken and stories like this for an Aussie viewer are the reason why I love watching 🍻

[@alexbrightmore2100]

That area of the black forest is gorgeous. Missed content like this! 👍🏻

[@AutomotiveMike]

Those corners😍

[@GTI_CHHA]

Stelvio, one of the most gorgeous roads in Europe. Thanks for the epic drone shots. I have been there 2 times before and it brings back memories! Am amazed that you GF did not get car sickness, she has a strong stomach ;-) Cheers mate

[@robertking9582]

Been waiting for this 😎

[@razzy530]

Epic, Joe. Simply glorious!

[@jr4ff3]

Living the KZbin dream. Graft really pays off maximum respect joe love the vids since day 1!!

[@lightningthunder5928]

I just can’t get on board with the styling , but then I felt the same 2 gens ago. At least I might be able to afford one when I can finally appreciate the styling hahaha

[@karolgos7059]

Fantastic!!!! Brilliant shots!!! Well done!!!!

[@lanand9397]

Thanks Joe for sharing this with us!

[@GY9944]

Wow. The roadtrip, the places, the cars... that is absolute dream!

[@GBFeb72]

Stunning drive, stunning car, great vid Joe

[@seikocitizenwatches]

I certainly enjoyed the mountain roads more than I enjoyed the car. Driving any good sports car through those roads would be fun and enjoyment.

[@Sa3Tv]

Genuinely enjoyed this video... the roads are getting me jealous. Need to film my S3 there!🥺 keep up the work bro!

[@felixb9146]

Amazing video! You have just helped me remember how much fun i had on the way to Stelvio Pass some years ago. By accident i landed up on Passo di Gavia (at night+fog), after some great driving between Trento and Passo del Tonale. Anyway, enjoy your holiday :)

[@neilbarden9430]

Loved it. Brought back so many great memories of doing the same in the MINI GP2s.

[@CG-sf8xq]

Best video you've done I think. Car and locations perfect

[@banipanet]

You should come to Romania once, mate. We have some lovely mountain roads like Transalpina, Transbucegi, Transfagarasan.

[@pjmoody]

Another awesome video Joe. Thanks for sharing.

[@saxongroove5898]

Brings back memories of my Euro road trip in 2008, which came about after watching the Top Gear episode there. I was lucky enough to drive it in the sunshine too, sans roof. As you say, not the best driving road but amazing views. Great video, thanks for sharing.

[@TobiasHenreich]

Really enjoyed watching this!

[@JoeAchilles1]

Thanks buddy 🙌👊♥️

[@carl9184]

Top video Joe and amazing scenary 👍

[@chrisweir762]

Nice video, definitely need to get myself down to the Alps in the near future. Would be great to see you try out those roads with the new M3 👍

[@daniel54751]

Wow 😀 Great video. Great scenery. Great presenting. Thanks for the upload 👍🏻

[@thamilawrence8468]

I cant believe I missed this video. Absolutely beautiful stuff.👌

[@bulentcyprus9300]

Great vdo again . Nice to see Lou also with you. Nice family kinda trip which I like a lot. Grt car too. Sounds nice I have to say. More in this trip pls Joe and Lou. 🚘😉

[@kirkjames3362]

Great video Joe!

[@unlimitedslipdiff3789]

That thumbnail image is spectacular! The vid is tiding me over ‘til the next Petrolhead Tour. Lovely stuff!

[@peterclifton5854]

Great video as always, Not jealous at all that must’ve been a great road trip absolutely loving the colour of that M8 competition grand coupe the car itself looks brilliant looking forward to a full review of it,

[@abubakarkaila2616]

Nice video again Joe. Love the m8 so much

[@adabro]

What a great video. Thanks Joe

[@treliq]

We were thinking of doing almost the exact trip but the opposite way starting from Bari! Your video just fueled our hunger!

[@sandyvalentin3072]

Joe I really enjoy your road trip videos and what a magnificent car . 😊

[@rare6499]

Joe that’s surely the best looking car BMW currently makes. Absolutely stunning machine especially in that specification.

[@bramo5925]

Good to see you happy with a partner buddy ;) great video as always

[@mattiparviainen607]

Great scenery. Love it !

[@Singh64able]

Simply AMAZING great content 👏 👌

[@SCDC-Channel]

Love the Stelvio Pass

[@ttvvideos2050]

Alps are beautiful!

[@sportsmachinerr1401]

Fantastic video as always Joe. I'm practically doing the same route with friends and staying at the Berghotel at the end. Driving a.... you guessed it, M140i 😁

[@where_s_wally]

Opening sequence, that view of the mountain pass is ridiculous Joe. Enjoy the M8 Joe.

[@jeanwood6392]

Did this drive a few years ago, ---- unforgettable experience.

[@brentpowell7889]

Be careful through France Belgium 🤔 hefty fine awaits , lovely video 👍

[@zemekiel]

I always book a room at that hotel when going to Stelvio, so nice for a morning drive before breakfast. Only downside is going to sleep at night, there are cows with noisy bells going around just outside the rooms! :)

[@dimitriosalexopoulos168]

We do really enjoy these roadtrips.

[@markopolo9559]

Great to watch a road trip, its been a while. I think the M2 comp would have been more fun through those tight hairpins and roads.

[@aventdrr]

Even the automatic subtitles at 00:09 like your video: [Applause]

[@peterwatson9047]

Cycled up that side years ago, where it's very tight, from the stuff going past me it looked most fun for the supermoto style motorbikes. I then descended down to Bormio and that side looked like it would be a lot more fun for driving. At that time (2008) I think the Umbria pass side was still a dirt road :)

[@markahomer]

Great video. Must add. Been there. Done it including BB. As for 'the Pass' well known, best done in a very small powerful car but wouldn't kick the M8 out of bed.

[@pesser]

Wow the car the roads !

[@marvusparvus]

Amazing Views !!! cheers & thanks

[@spadgm]

Was looking forward to this one and not disappointed!

[@JoeAchilles1]

Great to hear, thanks for watching 👌

[@spadgm]

@@JoeAchilles1 My pleasure, I have a lot more of your vids to catch up on too! Keep up the great work!

[@monsi25]

Awesome roads down there. Done the stelvio a few times but on bikes never in a car. As you say when it’s busy it’s a total nightmare road. Especially the tourist buses

[@Kelveron]

Really good production quality, nice presentation, fantastic car and amazing scenery. What more could you ask for?

[@greggdavies5827]

Some of my favourite roads ! Very jealous! Pick up a Stevio cycling top from the top....and maybe a Bianchi!

[@PrinceBarin77]

Man, I need a road trip.

[@LiveLifeLasting]

Looks like you got up really early for the pass, great decision!

[@dbdz9736]

The best car video this month if not for the whole of this year.

[@JoeAchilles1]

Massive compliment! Thank you 👌👊♥️

[@ditshepochiloane6232]

Love road trips

[@alastaircunningham6551]

Nice vid Joe! Great car, wonderful location!12.20 ish ‘over 5m’s wide’ CAN YOU IMAGINE 😂

[@fishingwithRoger1]

BEAUTIFUL :)

[@pinkpotato1]

Great content as always! Have you tried the Grimsel pass followed by the Furka pass then the Gottard pass? Initially i was told to try the furka pass but the grimsel pass is the ultimate for me, wide enough for 2 cars to pass, stunning views and excellent for a bit of a spirited drive

[@JoeAchilles1]

Thanks man! Yeah done them all, amazing roads but the Swiss hate cars so much nowadays 😬 Also couldn't do Switzerland or France with quarantine rules this trip unfortunately 👌

[@jeanwood6392]

Shrewster , again, did those a few years ago, unforgettable.

[@thedriversseat1522]

The way that Huracan sounds 🥺😭😭♥️♥️

[@AaronRandolphChen]

Loved this epic video but just had to nitpick (1) Should clean the windshield before you set off in the morning; and (2) at around 12 minutes, you said the car is 5 meters wide - LOL! Not sure if you caught that yet ....... As I said the video & your trip are both EPIC! Thanks for posting this!

[@santana9537]

Looks so beautiful. The views alright too 😂

[@MattCSLnut]

As stunning to look at as it is Stelvio is hard work even in an M3 CSL 🙈🤣 I found it more enjoyable going up it 👌🏼 than down. Watch out for cyclists and buses 😲 Love your drone shots from top of Stelvio 👌🏼 Thanks for sharing your experience 👍🏼

[@SM-od2jh]

Great stuff :) , what was the hotel name you stayed in Germany ?

[@kevinstock5886]

You’re killing me (in the best way). I was supposed to do ED (from the states) for my M2C and this was on our itinerary. After delaying the trip 3 times we finally gave in and cancelled the trip and got the car shipped direct.

[@vincentdin]

Subscribed!!!

[@JoeAchilles1]

Thank you!

[@richardbower8707]

that looks sooo amazing. So narrow though - and it seems like there is hardly anywhere to squeeze past! Is it really as tight as it looks??

[@samcourt6228]

They are some seriously amazing looking roads. We keep talking about a euro trip...that talk needs to be one action by the looks of it.

[@DaveGath]

At 12:20 you say a car thats over 5mtrs wide .. didnt think BMW make their cars that wide lol

[@JoeAchilles1]

🤣 Yeah was too early in the morning, get it right a bit further down the pass...

[@DaveGath]

@@JoeAchilles1 at my age i get those problems all day long haha

[@JP-wh5bt]

That was after the "early dinner and a beer maybe" or two or so...^^

[@Picklescarchannel]

Holy crap Joe. This is content....

[@JoeAchilles1]

😂 Thanks buddy, hope you're well man 👊

[@io_inc]

Please take more road trips

[@jannowak8951]

Great shots, great car, but... rear left door, terribly fitted or not fully closed?

[@polattanoglu756]

Never skip a Joe Achilles video

[@carlrebeiro]

At 12:17 Joe says that the M8 is five meters wide. Wow, that is a W I D E car! 😜

[@jonathanecleo9310]

Joe, Which is better audi rs7 or Bmw m8 gran coupe competition? In your opinion since you drove both these amazing car.

[@bluelightning6167]

This is a dream to drive with that car on that road

[@fraserpitkethly2265]

I think its safe to say that that car was built for wide open roads in the Black Forest or tbh any road in the US right

[@willemengelbrecht587]

Hi Joe Can you not get your hands on a new M3 or M4 Comp Xdrive to review?

[@opuscosmos]

Nice

[@dean1834]

Boom here we go :0)))

[@JoeAchilles1]

🙌🙌🙌🙌

[@stevek9018]

Agree all the way. Stelvio is amazing views and something to tell your friends you’ve done but too fiddly to be a great driving road. The B500 you drove near Baden Baden is much more enjoyable to drive (or ride, have to confess I’ve only done them on a bike)

[@cw2840]

Was that green huracan stock or tuned?

[@Tracid320si]

Plz Name of your Sunglasses :) Oakly ... So nice looking. I was on stelvio 2 Weeks ago and i heard yesterday was closed because of first snow :I

[@strixxiyyt8628]

Live in italy when i saw the title i instantly thought that was in italy btw im feom uruguay

[@shawn8106]

How does this compare to the M5 Joe?

[@gavg89iiuktvii35]

[@romeklytvynyshyn3744]

Very fast very driving
