Road trip to Ibiza
Discussion
thanks for all your help guys
Ive finally got the car i have always wanted (m3 cab) which is part of the reason i wanna drive down, it wouldnt be half as much fun flying there and hiring the usual stuff ie, Punto, 306 cabrio
We may just go from barcelona down the coast to valencia then benidorm - Ibiza cant be all that much different plus at this time of the year it could be hard to find a decent hotel not too pricey in ibiza. I dont fancy stayin at a 18-30 type place with the car, it'd probably get trashed by some drunk lout at 3am
Decisions decisions...

yes benidorm is full of northeners in football shirts but they have spent a lot of money there and isnt as bad as you think.
there is a big water park about 2 mile outside terra metica well worth a visit

I have done the UK to Denia journey a number of times and last year, coincidentally, in an E46 M3 Cab. If you pull up the Michelin route planner and map out your journey it will give you the exact tolls and the locations of the fixed speed cameras.
One word of warning and not suggesting it is going to happen to you but I got an amber engine warning light about halfway through the journey down which was a bit worrying to say the least. Anyway, we carried on and popped it into a BMW dealer when we got there but just as we pulled up it disappeared. It came on during the return journey and again disappeared before I could get it to the dealer in the UK. I booked it in, they checked it out and could not find anything wrong. A year later and I have yet to see it again. General consensus of opinion seems to be that its a combination of the quality of the petrol in France/Spain, continuous high speeds and high temperatures which causes the emissions sensor to get confused and bring on the warning light.
