Skittles Cars & Coffee (New England)

[leemik]

     Featured on BIMMERPOST.com

Aston Martin of New England held its annual Cars & Coffee last Saturday.. It was a gorgeous day out in Boston and I think this brought all the nice cars too. I decided to go down to this meet as well in my new Limerock.. I traded my AW M3 in March and little did I know, I had traded the most common color for the second most common color! LOL

Anyways enjoy all the colorful exotics .. Including a beautiful Brilliant White Individual F10 M5 that showed up.

EDIT: Some new pictures 5/19/2013 here

Thx Nate.. that F10 M5 had me really drooling. Jan and I also have very similar tastes and have become good friends... My German brother from another mother!

[RingMeister01]

Where do I start? Just madness

[ki__]

Wow Mike... Easily one of my favorite M3s ever. Great photos as usual, can't wait for the Varis piece to be installed.

[GOLFFRR]

[Blindside_137]

Lee, great pictures and what a enjoyable time you must have had! Yes, like the jimmy dean and that jag-- xk140? $$$$

And that M3 is gorgeous... just picked up an LR too... how did you go about the orange trim inside... that is trick!!! your mods are very nicely done!

[Its_lobelt]

Your photography skills seriously amazed me. Awesome pictures

P.S. Can you take pics of my car? lol

[///Matthew]

Great shots! Love the post processing too!

[991brothers]

Incredible shots. thanks for sharing. what's your suspension? spacers? thanks

[Hurricane]

The Lime Rock looks great.

How about that NSX? That car is over 20 years old and still looks good. Better yet, it still runs.

[inter1032]

LOL unfortunately I'm in MA.. but there are a ton of great photographers in Cali!!!

Stock competition pkg (EDC) with H&R sport springs & E36 bumpstops. Rides great.. I don't know what everyone is complaining about with these springs.. very comfortable and OEM like ride.. I had the Eibachs on my white M3 and I always thought they were a little bit soft.. Oh and 3mm spacers in front, 5mm in back..

Unfortunately, those are gone with the white car.. It's OK, I like the BMW rear spoiler a lot.. I might get the Arkym front lip though because the 2 diffusers seem kinda odd to me up front not connecting in the middle.. The Arkym V1 lip closest resembles the OEM front diffusers except it connects in the middle! .... but betalink might be the deal breaker here.. I hear it's nearly impossible to remove

Speaking of white car.. I noticed a few changes from 2009-->2013.. The gas cap and oil caps are now different. I've had trouble with both in my 2009. The iDrive navigation has been improved along with media playback...and no plastic bubble in front of the screen anymore. DSC logos have changed, more M button options in menu.. I now have the horrible start-stop option, thankfully defaulted to off. Sun visors are hard plastic now and not cloth wrapped. Cargo net behind seats are gone. Key to open trunk is now gone. Blinkers are now stiffer. Oh and the LED tails probably means my "warning left brake light malfunction" won't happen anymore Also the headlight washers are now gone? They always made a mess anyways

The car seems to turn-in slightly quicker.. did the turns to lock change? The new car is optioned with the competition package and the suspension does feel a tad bit stiffer than my 2009 without it.. Acceleration also seems a tad better, the definitely car pulls a little bit harder.. that might be because of the gearing though 6MT vs 7 speed DCT? The M button I can also feel the difference with it on and off where I barely noticed anything in my 2009. Enough rambling...

wow.... that interior shot is sex!

sick cars man and nice shots!
