View Full Version : NE "Spotted" thread 2006
Kevin E21 04-14-2006, 03:57 PM Ok, this place is absolutely dead. I know there is plenty of New England folk, but no one seems to post much unless there is an event.
So here is a place to post any cars you happen to come across, and maybe everyone can get to know each other, and get some more activity in the NE regional forum.
Spotted: White E30 M3 with roof rack in Wakefield, MA at the lights on Water St. Anyone on here? Don't usually see any of those around here. The exhaust sounded good. not sure why the roof rack was on there. They look wierd unless on an iX.
vtbimmer 04-14-2006, 06:37 PM This car pulled into the parking lot at my shop today. After talking with the owner for awhile I managed to get a exhilerating ride. F'in sick in every way.
V1 built into the rear view mirror. White italian leather. :eyecrazy

PixMan 04-14-2006, 08:59 PM I spotted a Bronzitbeige E28 (528e, I think) in Auburn yesterday. I doubt the owner will spot this, the car looked poorly-maintained and most peeps here tend to try keeping their cars up.
I see two other E28's almost everyday also. One is in one of the Bose parking lots in Framingham, the other is at a home on Egell Road in the same town.
I see a LOT of BMW's of various models while on that road to & from work everyday, and plenty in the town of Sudbury where I work. Most are MUCH newer and nicer than mine though.
98mpower 04-14-2006, 09:24 PM spotted a viper,nsx,f360 ,other misc ferrari's and a bunch of bentley's and Roll's .I was in greenwich CT,I love taking rides by Carage motorsports .I guess thats cheating though :stickoutt

That's awesome! There is a couple Gallardos around my area. They don't seem as badass as the older Lambos though.
Also a couple of weeks ago, I saw a Interlagos Blue e60 M5 in Peabody. I doubt the owner is on this board, but I was shocked to see that around here. There is still a waiting list for it isnt there? I really disliked the way the new M5 looked, but seeing it in person made me change my mind. Very mean looking car.
vtbimmer 04-14-2006, 11:49 PM Is that a countach? I spotter your car at UCONN by the way.
Yes it is.
I saw your car too.:)
KevRC4130 04-29-2006, 06:32 PM I'm from Wakefield, MA... I wish I saw that M3 you're talking about. I've only seen one E30 M3 around here in the past couple years.
Kevin E21 04-30-2006, 12:36 AM I'm from Wakefield, MA... I wish I saw that M3 you're talking about. I've only seen one E30 M3 around here in the past couple years.
Yeah, it was ahead of me in traffic, and I only saw it pull away. I was turning so I didn't get to follow it.
Today I saw a crappy e34 with a kit on it and an ac schnitzer badge on the back on 128 North in Peabody.
Kevin E21 05-05-2006, 02:10 AM I saw the white e30 M3 again! (Main Street, Lynnfield, coming down the offramp from rte.128) I want to know who it is. I am pretty sure it was the same one I saw, although no roof rack this time.
Is there something wrong with me, when I see an e30 M3, and I get all excited as if it was a McLaren F1?
99E36M 05-05-2006, 09:17 AM Yesterday I saw another estoril M3 on 114 in Peabody, and this morning a helrot M3 on 133 in Rowley. Gave waves to both.
daz3d 05-06-2006, 12:49 AM Estoril yellow M3 on west street in keene, NH today at about 4:30 PM. Appeared to be lowered and I heard a blowoff valve. Don't know if the owner is here but it was a sweet sounding car. I was on the yellow mtn. bike...

Diaonic 05-08-2006, 10:46 AM I saw that girl driving the same yellow M3 in keene. I also met the guy that drives the e36 silver m3 with the mtechnik plate.

Ya, it was an e36, I did not see who was driving it. I was a little more concered about making it through the intersection. One of my friends had been hit where I was crossing/ saw the M3 a year ago.

Diaonic 05-11-2006, 03:40 PM I'm trying to convince my uncle to drive out with his camper for Limerock. He's on his way to Darlington right now.

99E36M 05-12-2006, 12:09 PM I spotted that Estoril M3 again and a pathetically riced out 325i (e36) yesterday at the Northshore mall. I wonder if that Estoril guy is on here...
Anyway, I wish I had time to take a picture. This beat up 325 stops at the light to take a left into the mall and I'm sitting in the Bugaboo lot watching. It had a gheto looking lower lip spoiler and cheapo "blingy" wheels. I say to myself, this kid probably has an M badge on it...as it drives by...a poorly aligned M3 badge catches my attension. WTF:mad

Hey man, where do you live? I am always around the Northshore Mall area. I think I may have seen that car before. I always see a bunch of riced out cars around the mall. It's hilarious looking at how hideous they are.

I am not sure the name of the street, but it's right before an intersection. It was towards the back of the driveway along side a Celica? and an RX-8. There was some people outside listening to what sounded like Peurto Rican rap music, when I was waiting at the lights. Probably not anyone on here.
I never noticed it before, and I drive by that house all the time.

DirtDog 08-07-2006, 06:37 PM Alpine e30 w/ i think a BMWCCA badge, on rt28 in salem NH... pulling into Staples parking lot as i was pullin out... gave a thumbs up, looked like a wave back... wicked nice car.
porkchopbimmer 08-07-2006, 11:47 PM This sunday a silver e46 M3 on 24N in Rhode Island gave me the thumbs up and all..
Kevin E21 08-08-2006, 10:57 PM Spotted: Silver E46 M3 widebody (I think) that just came off the rotary in Lynnfield (Goodwin Circle) and headed onto Rte. 128 South, I was getting off 128, and going onto Rte. 1 North. (Blue Ford Taurus SHO) The M3 looked like it had a sticked on the top middle part of the rear windshield. It looked like it said YALE or VALE or something of that sort.
PixMan 08-08-2006, 11:06 PM CT sighting: Actually, lots of them.
My daily commute takes me from I-84W in MA (more a southerly route) to I-291W to I-91N, to RT20W to the RT20 exit, just shy of the airport. Then reverse it at 5:00PM.
This morning I was in my '88 535i, and I saw "warp12" as I passed a black E36 heading towards Hartford. On my way home at more reasonable rates, I passed a nice silver E39 530i with MA vanity plates.

Sounds like TB151s old e46 M3. The guy that bought it has a YALE sticker in the back window. Its not a widebody it just has Iforged 19s that have a monster rear lip.

Yeah, that was probably it. I didn't get a good look at it, but It just appeared to have larger fender flares or something, maybe the wheels gave it that illusion.
99E36M 08-11-2006, 11:52 AM Past two days I've seen two E36 M3s on 95 South near Topsfield. Yesterday was a purple coupe (but I was in my Jeep so he didn't look), today I past a real clean Alpine M3 coupe and gave a wave.
Who are you?!
PixMan 08-12-2006, 10:04 PM I had a nice little run on the MA Pike today with a similar E39 530i to mine. I was in front, threading, he was following and we might have reached Warp12, then he flashed his H/L's as he exited at Framingham.

99e36m3 08-17-2006, 10:11 PM Alright, here's one:
Last night someone BLEW by me in an e36 (couldn't see the badge in the dark ) green maybe? I was on 122 in Rutland in my calypsorot 325i at around 9:30, and I would've pulled on ya if i haven't had such bad luck with Rutland police.
Wow I didn't realize that many people on this board live in <?xml:namespace prefix = st1 ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:smarttags" /><st1:place><st1:PlaceName>Worcester</st1:PlaceName> <st1:PlaceType>County</st1:PlaceType></st1:place>. I also spend a lot of time driving on 122 in worcester/paxton/rutland (girlfriend lives out there) and have had my share of close calls with law enforcement on that road. It’s hard at times to resist the urge of flying down some of the straights and nice sweeping curves that 122 has to offer.

If it's an older guy w/ grey-ish hair driving outbound at the end of the day, and inbound in the morning, I've seen him around- very sick car! That one was the 1st M6 I had ever seen- probably the same guy. :buttrock

He must have been going to Limerock for Vintage Fest when you saw him because he followed me part way home on Monday. Sick car.
PixMan 09-06-2006, 11:19 AM I spotted a NJ-tagged E39 530i on I-84 Eastbound around 6pm yesterday. I have a similar black one, so it caught my eye. (The xenons helped with that too. ;) )
I was (and still am) in my E90 325xi loaner from Foriegn Motors West and we played cat & mouse from Manchester all the way to Sturbridge MA by virtue of the heavy traffic, but the driver never exchanged so much as a glance with me. How sad. :shifty
Anyhow, this one appeared that it might be a 2002 like mine, but no sport package as it still had chrome trim around the windows and was riding on stock 16"ers. In fact, it looked bone stock.
Next time look for the thumbs up pal. :rolleyes
shadyduk1979 09-06-2006, 04:35 PM Black E36 M3, ACS badge on the grill in milford looked right at me in the white astro

have you driven the chevelle down here? I swear i have seen it but i wrote it off because your profile says boston.
Itsablurr 09-07-2006, 10:01 AM No, haven't had the Chevelle out this season at all... it's stripped down for a new paint job. I've got the body work pretty much 90% done, so *hopefully* she'll see asphalt before the end of the season.
Kevin E21 09-07-2006, 01:14 PM Spotted a really nice e39 540 at Hannaford in Peabody today around 11:30 or so. Maroon-ish color. I don't know what kind of wheels it had, but they looked like M Paralells. I think they were something else though.
stowe9man 09-08-2006, 04:13 PM Found out there are 2 e60 M5's in my own town, followed one home the other day. I was amazed to find out that there are two of these cars here as I live in a small suburb type town.

Small Suburban Town = lots of money
My town is the same way, although I have yet to see an e60 M5. People in my town are more into Mercedes and Porsches.

I passed him on 495 South and then I saw him come racing up the right lane thinking he might have saw me and wanted to give me a wave. He then got off onto the Mass Pike. It was a skinny guy with glasses driving. This was on Saturday sometime after 9am.

Kamil 11-21-2006, 11:04 AM Someone in my parking garage, probably a doctor from MGH (right next to it)picked up a new M5. Silver w/ black, and the //M driving gloves on the center console were just cute. :) I think it's a doctor, as the car is not driven/parked there daily, so he probably also has a daily beater.
And last Friday, I see a new blk 7-series backed into a spot, with Euro front plates… I dunno which country cuz it didn't say (no country code, just blank red space). I look closer and I see no inspection sticker from any state. Intrigued, I walk over to the side… shadowline trim, SP wheels… fully loaded with rear i-drive and tv/dvd player/ entertainment center… I look at the gauge cluster and it's a USDM one… I walk around the back, and the car has very loosely attached NJ plates. Weird. It was a 750i.
PixMan 11-22-2006, 01:07 PM I was on a job interview in Burlington yesterday, over in an industrial/business park off route 3. When I pulled into the lot, there were TWO fellow E39's!

Just saying "Hi howareya!" :wave
Bolidoendiablad 11-22-2006, 01:43 PM Hi everyone,
I'm new here and last Saturday I was at a car wash in Watertown with my E36 M and all of a sudden I turned around and saw another E36 M silver. I thought he was going to the next isle, ( he probably thought I was taking my time ), but when I pulled out trying to find him, he wasn't there anymore.
Sorry...I meant to say hello.
I live in West Newton, MA and I've seen a white E30 M3 nearby the Burger King in Moody st....are you here man...?
Floda 11-22-2006, 04:10 PM I spotted a E46 3 Series (Mass. tags) heading North on 95 in Virginia (inbetween Ashland and Doswell) on Monday evening. It was a 4dr, yet it had a M3 rear badge. It had great wheel fitment and stance and I was eggin' the driver on to play with me in my Miata but evidently he didnt think I was worth the time.
Car looked gorgeous though!
Kevin E21 11-22-2006, 10:35 PM Spotted, clean looking White e39 540i at Hannaford in Peabody, MA. I waited to see if the owner would come out, but I lost interest after 15 minutes and left.
It's hard to tell if people are enthusiests. I see a lot of bimmers around, but none of them are any special, and I'm afraid to approach people cause they'll probably look at me with 2 heads if I try to chat about their car.
PixMan 11-23-2006, 08:18 AM Actually, there are lots of signs of enthusiasts on one's car.
1: Stickers denoting performance parts vendors or car organizations
2: Aftermarket or upgraded wheels, tires
3: It's clean and shiny after recent rains of snow.
4: Older one, like yours, and not shagged, few missing parts
5: Clean inside, may have signs in there like gloves, roll cage, boost gage ;)
It's not foolproof, but a simple ice breaker like "How do you like your Bimmer?" can be very telling. A short "hate it" is a sign to walk away, whereas a response like "Well I just did all the suspension bits and put a HP clutch in..." is an invite to talk more.
Works for me.

Yeah, I usually looks for clues like that, but most of the time I don't see much of anything that would give me a clue. I work the lot at Hannaford at night, so I'm always checking out the car that come and go. The 540i caught my eye because I notice when he pulled in he purposely parked next to a 330ci on the side of the building.
I guess I'm not used to approaching people, but I try. I ran into a guy with an e12 that is really nice looking. He had a CCA sticker on the window which kind of clued me in. Although you don't see too many e12's around anyways.
Most people in my area just have money and the BMWs just mix in with the other Inifiti's, Lexus, and Merc's, driving around. Enthusiests a few and far between around here, so I'm always on the lookout. When I travel outside of Rte. 128, I tend to see more nice "enthusiest" cars around though. 128 is some kind of "no enthusiests" forcefield or something.
shadyduk1979 11-23-2006, 01:03 PM A big tip off for a non enthusiast is chrome rims
Kevin E21 11-24-2006, 07:04 PM Spotted today around 5:00pm, e30 Touring, with a german plate on the front. It looked like it was Delphin Grey and it did not sound stock. Maybe S52? in it. Definately had serious rubber on the rears.
I tried to turn around and follow it, but I lost him because I got held up at a stop light. Definately one of the cooler cars I have seen around.
Kevin E21 11-27-2006, 04:51 PM Grey e92 Coupe!!! Couldn't see the badge but it looked mean. Pretty sure it was a 335i. OMG so hot! Pictures don't do it justice. This was about 10 minutes ago on Summer St. Lynnfield.

I drove my friend's E92 328i Coupe (he's not really a car guy, just likes cars)... nothing special.
I always though that E36 to E46 was a revolution... E46 to E90/92 is more like an evolution... sometimes I think that they just redesigned it cuz they "had to".

Yeah I agree. I like the more traditional looking car, and BMW seems to be going a little crazy with their designs, as well as a lot of other companies. I must say though, the e92 is beautiful. I want to hate it, but I can't. For some reason it looks so awesome in person, but when I see it in pictures it's just unappealing.
Even the 328i looks great. I saw one at work a couple weeks ago.
BillE36 11-28-2006, 01:03 AM the new 328 is a damn nice looking car in person i saw one at the bmw test drive thing they had at gilette stadium a month or so ago. too bad you had to be 21 to test drive any cars they were like oh well your free to sit in one little boy:mad

Haha, yeah that sucks. I know how that feels. I'm still 17, well more like 18 in a few weeks, but I hate being seen as a child when it comes to things like that. I agree though, it's a very sleek looking car.
tb0ne 11-29-2006, 01:30 PM Spotted an Estoril M-coupe on Thanksgiving in Billerica...
Also spotted a couple times a white E92 coupe in Tewksbury with tint - nice car.
rocketwagon 12-01-2006, 12:28 PM There's a black e39 540 always parked at or around this little gas station/repair shop in the center of Bedford, MA. There's never a rear plate on it, so I don't know if it's being worked on or for sale or what, but the car is just absolutely balls-out nice and mean-looking. One of the most badass e39s I've ever seen. Wish I had seen it before I bought mine. Don't know if the owner is on here or not, but say hey if you are.

I know who owns the car, he is not on the forum though.
rocketwagon 12-01-2006, 09:24 PM Well, pass along my compliments on a great-looking ride. I drive by it every day on my way to and from work. I should stop in and say hello.
rocketwagon 12-01-2006, 09:31 PM On another note, tonight I saw a silver e39 that looked as though the interior lighting LED color had been changed from red to a silvery white/blue. It was definitely not from the interior reading or overhead lights being on, it was clearly the convenience lighting or whatever they call it. Very cool look. Would have loved to ask about it but he was going the other way at a light.
napoleon 12-02-2006, 09:11 PM I am new to this BMW forum. I am currently thinking about purchasing a 330 convertible in the upcoming months. Since you guys are from around the Boston area do you recommend a convertible? I am trying to find a 2002-2004. I am not a car junking but I love how the BMW handling, drive, etc. Any comments on what I should look for or where to look?

A convertable is completely fine in the New England area, but be prepared to worry about the cold weather. They don't retain heat very well. So you will need to blast the heat all the time. However if you buy during the winter months you can probably get a very good deal, since they don't sell well. So if you can live with it through the winter, then the discount might be worth it.
You live in Peabody? Do you shop at Hannaford? I work there. If you ever seen the car in my sig there, don't be afraid to say "Hello."
OT: I was just at work and it let out early cause half of Peabody has no power. Kind of cool seeing everything pitch black.
Kevin E21 12-03-2006, 10:42 PM -White e28 spotted tonight around 7 or 8 on Rte. 114 in Middleton, MA.
-Black e36 'vert spotted on Main st./Chesnut st. Lynnfield around quarter of 9. You seemed to be racing around and I followed you a bit, and then you turned off into some side street, so I just kept going straight.
FredK 12-04-2006, 10:14 AM Red 88 Super Eta (325) a little past 8 this morning at Cambridge St. & Warren in Cambridge. I know you're an enthusiast, your front valance still had an 'i' lip attached to it. :D
Sam 330ci 12-04-2006, 03:05 PM Green E36 on Brighton Ave in Portland ME today around maybe 1:30.
Clears all around and I think a little tint...
I was in the silver e36 sedan coming down the hill towards Westbrook.
stowe9man 12-04-2006, 04:46 PM I see two e60 M5's around my town of Hebron, CT. One is on Bluebird Lane, I don't know about the other one. There is also a red e46 M3. Anybody know who they belong to?
Bolidoendiablad 12-05-2006, 12:17 PM I saw an E36 vert this morning on the MassPike Eastbound. I was surprised 'cause when we got closer I noticed it was painted in Techno Violet just like my M, but it was a 328 or 325 with bumpers and mouldings just like a M3. Very good looking though.
Kamil 12-05-2006, 12:21 PM this morning, around 9AM, in rt. 9 West in Framingham, a black and blacked-out E46 M3 with stock (winter?) wheels... it was nice, I did a double-take. :)
Sam 330ci 12-05-2006, 12:41 PM Kamil we trading or what?!
Kamil 12-05-2006, 01:19 PM Kamil we trading or what?!
I'll reply to your email in a little bit... was away for the w/e and Monday was crazy busy. :rolleyes :(
rocketwagon 12-07-2006, 08:52 AM To the person I followed, and then who followed me, in the bright red, de-badged e39 540 (?) last night on 128 North and the on-ramp to the Mass Pike: your passenger-side angel eye high-beam "halo" is out.

DMXtremeZ 12-10-2006, 07:09 PM Who's the E36 Silver M3 that ran with me on 84 East this evening between 4:30-5ish, a little after Waterbury, Bristol area-ish. I was the one with a gray E46 330i, you complimented me on the lights
Car had modded tail lights, spoiler, exhaust. Car looked really clean, we had a few quick runs
AdamArmory 12-11-2006, 12:27 AM ran with a alpine white e36 328 tonight on 95 northbound for a bit, right before the 495 exits.

AdamArmory 12-11-2006, 06:26 PM reason being, its not cosmos, its jet black, freshly waxed, and the camera shot is over exposed. shiney ftw!
shadyduk1979 12-11-2006, 08:27 PM I keep on forgetting this one, silver e39 at dean college in Franklin, ma. I do believe someone who goes there also has a e30 m3 if i remember correctly
Sam 330ci 12-11-2006, 09:27 PM someone at University of Southern maine has a modded e30 always in the parking lot.
dont know if he's on here, but it's a nice little car.
Bolidoendiablad 12-14-2006, 04:40 PM I saw a debadged blue E46 coupe with a plate "BEAMER" at Children's Hospital Parking lot today, I parked next to it , but unfortunately I had to leave early. Do you work there?
Bolidoendiablad 12-14-2006, 04:46 PM I also saw an E36 M3 black with lightweight rims on Huntington Ave in Boston this morning, but he didn't see me-I guess- Very nice car.
Kevin E21 12-14-2006, 04:53 PM Sick black e39 M5 parked at Circuit City yesterday, not sure what time, but it was so nice looking. I'm not sure what kind of wheels, but they were aftermarket, and it had red painted calipers.
I saw a guy inside with a firemans uniform on, and I thought it might have been his because the car had what looked like a little firemans star badge sticker in the window. I was going to follow him out and see, but he left befoe me.
rocketwagon 12-28-2006, 04:40 PM 1)Arctic Silver e32 L7 this morning on 128 South, blasting by me in the left lane between exits 26 and 24...
2) Estoril e36 M3, Connecticut plates, playing a little game of tag with me on the Mass. Pike last night between the Newton rest area and exit 12, around 5:30pm...
Kevin E21 12-30-2006, 02:19 AM Red e30 in Wakefield at about 12:40am tonight on Lowell St. then turned onto Vernon st. and then onto Jupiter Ave. I was following you, to see if you noticed, but I didn't want to follow you up Jupiter.
