Well this is my first attempt at setting up a meet but with everything always going on, on the west coast I'd like to get a good meet over here on the east coast in our New England area. I'm located in Massachusetts and a good place for meets is in Rhode Island at Colt State Park. Very nice place, scenic, we're allowed to park up in the grass and can accomodate a lot of vehicles and people. I will be posting this on many other BMW forums, hopefully I can get this to be a good turn out. I am setting the date for May 27th, which is a Saturday time from 12 noon until you feel like leaving. All are welcome! It's going to be a bring your own food/beverage thing, but there are some food places all within 5 minutes. Still working out more details but wanted to post now to start getting a list. Like I said hopefully I can get a good turnout and get quite a few M3's to show up.
Heres the website for the park, for more info on the park and for directions.
It's not allowing me to post a link, but if you google Colt State Park Rhode Island it will come right up.

Edited date to the 27th. please let me know for a good turnout if i need to change the date.

They have gtg sections.

yo jared i was thinkin 10:30am-ish in the sports authority parking lot, right across mobil gas station. that way it gives everyone like 30 mins to show up, leave at 11am and get there 12/12:15ish for the start. leave a post or pm me or jared if ur interested so we can get an idea of how many people to expect. again exit #20 of 495 then take a right off the ramp if comin from south and left after ramp if travelin for north. later

Nice meet guys. The cars were all hot. Especially those e36 M3's. I call for a BBQ on the next meet. Leaving was fun, seeing all these BMWs together. Then we started swerving in the back of the line haha. The rain sucked though, i couldnt see anything on the highway. I was in the red E30. Nice meeting most of you, im looking forward on meeting again. Later..

I showed up literally right as the rain started to come down, forcing more than half of the crowd to leave. I think I passed 90% of the folks that showed up on the road INSIDE Colt State Park (but damn was that a fine sight to see).

BTW, Brownie I'm also from Somerset, MA. Graduated from SHS in 2000. It's a small world I guess
