VO 1M Spotted Naval Station Newport, RI

BLU135i · 07-14-2014, 12:43 PM

Saw a beautiful 1M today on base, California plates...would love to meet up with whoever it belongs.

Thanks! It's mine - I just moved here from Monterey for DH school. I'll probably post about that 4k mile road trip fairly soon.

I'm definitely down for a meet up; are there any car events on island, like cars & coffee or similar? I've checked BMW CCA Boston Chapter's webpage and it looks like they're infrequent (lots of driving schools, karting, and auto-x though... which I'll take advantage of soon enough).

Senior, your 135 is Interlagos blue, right? I haven't seen it yet - but I did notice a blue 335is in the parking lot last week.

There are not really any that I have seen in the past 2 years living here. A few car shows, nothing BMW specific. On the New England area of the Regional forums they talk about meeting up, mostly Boston area though. Thinking about trying to get some people together though. I met a retired Senior Chief the other day with a nice E46 M3, and there is at least 2 other 1 series on the base. Mine is Le Mans blue, you probably haven't seen it because I work on the other side of the base at Officer Training Command as an RDC. Anyway, I'm up for coffee anytime, my scheadule is probably more flexible than yours so let me know. Look foward to reading about your drive over. I drove out from Whidbey Island, WA but that was in my old GTI.

I'm all for doing something local! I'm also planning on doing the Boston BMW CCA 2014 Concours d'Elegance on Aug 10th up in Ma.

Hey! There are frequently BMW CCA cars and coffee in Wakefield (a couple good classic and the usual suspects). There's an annual Boston CCA concourse in Narragansett and of course, their are bi-weekly CCA sponsored autox at the Danvers MA airfield (something I've enjoyed a few times in a Porsche w/ the PCA).

BMW CCA Cars and Coffee at Brewed Awakenings in Wakefield, RI this Saturday (May 2nd).

I'll be there. Should be a big turn out.

Still upset I can't make it.

Down in VA until next weekend. Will be at the next Wakefield C&C.

Hi Vasmir,

Are you the one I said hello to yesterday on Martha's Vineyard (near the ferry)?

Leif,

That was me. Wish we'd had a bit longer to chat. Funny that there are two California 1M's in the area.

Cheers,
Rick

Too funny. I just assumed it had to be you. Yeah, wish we could've chatted more. I would've like to learn about any other mods you've done to your 1M.

Steering wheel and shifter are the only ones.
