BMW Z4 Roadster 3.0 si driving Tail of the Dragon

Here's a couple of clips i put together of a drive i took in the fall through Tail of the Dragon US 129 on the border of TN and NC. Beautiful roads, 318 curves in an 11 mile stretch in the mountains. Took this drive with some friends who were in a BMW 335i convertible, and a Mini Cooper S.

I just moved down to the Lake Norman area and have been scoping out places to drive. Is this "Tail of the Dragon" part of the Blue Ridge Parkway?

What's the name of the song?

I do t think it's part of that but it's not too far from you. It's a little north of robbinsville, nc. There's beautiful roads to drive in the smoky mountains. Tail of the dragon is one of them, and cherohala skyway is beautiful up in the mountains.

The song is a remix version of Melancholy Hill by Gorrilaz

Thanks! I heard one of the roads going to Asheville is pretty good too. Any other roads I should look to drive on?

I'm sure theres nice roads up there too. There's numerous roads in the mountains that are really nice to drive on. Up in North Georgia theres a few nice loops that are filled with sports bikes and sports cars on the weekend. TotD and Cherohala skyway are very popular roads in that area though.
