I am back already :( we just got back yesterday! :)

Before I start, in 2.800 km, I saw only one, and I repeat, only one BMW Z4 E85. So guys, keep them safe, they are rare. And the reaction in Monaco was amazing, Z4 was photographed a lot.

Total trip: 2.800 km.
Average fuel consumption: 7.5 litres per 100 km.
Average oil consumption: 1 liter per 2.800 km :D
Route as planned:
→ Zagreb - Genova - San Tropez - Avignon
→ Avignon - Milano - Zagreb

It was a mixed drive from Zagreb to Genova was all highway, from Genova to San Tropez was a back road, then the highway to Avignon, back to Zagreb, all highway via Grenoble.

In short, we had a wonderful time, this is the first time for me in France, and the roads are amazing, better than in Italy. All our accommodations had a mandatory parking space or garage. So if you want (I don't know what is the policy here, I am not advertising, so I can share AirBnB accommodations that we used, the best one was in Avignon and Genova, Milan was ok, and San Tropez was also ok).

For me, one thing on my bucket list is done - Monaco tunnel! :) it was amazing, in one point I was going up and down thru the whole F1 track, and the Monaco police were just waving at me. :D

These are just some photos. :)

Thank you so much! Well, our photo competitions are remarkable, and there is plenty of respectable competition, so I will give it a try! :)

We are definitely planning to return, we loved San Tropez. But Avignon really has a charm, we were there for 4 days as our final destination, and you can easily spare a whole week there.

And this, being a car forum, I will add again how every time I fell in love with his car. What a nice ride, comfortable, with plenty of room. Basically, we would drive on the highway without stopping, well, we would stop when I need to fill up the tank.

French roads are amazing, from the highway to the backroads, Italian, not so much, and Croatian are the worst. :)
 
Some great photos of a fantastic road trip OP. :thumbsup:

It sounds like you may be doing another one!
 
Thanks, gents, yes, we will definitely be returning to Milano and Sant Tropez. :)

In recent months I was seriously considering selling my Z4 or better, to change it with 996 or even Cayman, but now after the trip, realising how our Zeds are remarkable and unique, I am considering fixing him properly and leaving him in the family. :)
 
Video is here (sorry on Croatian language, but it has some music and nice scenes. :) )
