MAP and location The original BMFeast, organized by Scott Lee of E90Post.com, took place October 4, 2008 in Flanders, NJ. When the event was first organized, roughly 200 BMWs were expected to sign up, but by the week prior to the event over 400+ BMWs registered to attend. The 2008 event took place in a large grass field area, with the limited space available and as a result some of the show vehicles were forced to park in different locations, which diminished the continuity and flow of the overall event. Despite the logistical issues, BMFeast was a huge success, and many were anxiously awaiting the follow-up event. In August 2009, Joe LaPadula and Derek Pasch of Martino Auto Concepts/ MAC Auto Couture stunned the exotic car community with the spectacular accomplishment of the inaugural Gold Coast Concours. With over 150 of the world’s most rare and sought after hyper exotics, and the 5000+ people they attracted, the foundation was laid for what is sure to become one of the most highly anticipated sophomore events ever. In 2011 these two mega shows decided to combine forces, and bring you BIMMERSTOCK 2011. After the tremendous successes of both BMFeast in 2008, and the Gold Coast show of 2010, the City of Glen Cove was turned into the largest and most significant gathering of exotic and luxury car enthusiasts on the East Coast on September 25^th 2011. Planning and development is already at full throttle to make BIMMERSTOCK 2012, taking place September 9th 2011, bigger and better in every way- once again exceeding all expectations. Of course, once again, 100% of the proceeds from this year’s event will go directly to the Diabetes Research Institute (DRI). “Thankfully, there are many charities and organizations devoted to the care of diabetes patients and the education of the public about diabetes, but there is only one national organization solely devoted to finding a cure for diabetes: the Diabetes Research Institute.”
