What's up everybody? My names Jon, im 18 and I live in South FL. My first bimmer was an 04 325i 5-speed and the first car i learned to drive stick on which I had for a little over a year or so now. I loved that car but I was still craving for more. Originally I was planning on on doing a bunch of upgrades but I figured for the same or less money, I might as well buy a ZHP.

After searching for months for the right ZHP, I finally found a 6-speed Imola Red one locally. She was enthusiast owned since new, has 117k miles with most service up to date. I picked it up earlier tonight and im hooked already.

Coming from my 325i, the power difference is very noticeable along with the upgraded sports interior, exhaust note, sound system and everything else about the car is a lot better.

As far as mods go, it has :

Exterior
- Motorsport Front Corner Splitters
- Angel Eyes (also installed new headlight lenses and LaminX film)
- 6000k Xenon bulbs
- 2500k fog bulbs
- Smoked Corner and Sidemarker Lights (w/ LED bulbs)
- Smoked Eagle Eye LED Tails
- Black Kidney Grilles
- Black/White Roundels
- 15% Tint
Interior
- Aluminum ///M Pedals
- DICE ipod
- A-pillars wrapped with suede
- LED bulbs
Drivetrain
- B&M short shifter
- All fluids replaced with Redline
- Upgraded rear differential bushings
Brake/Suspension
- Drilled rotors from Turner Motorsports
- Akebono Euro Ceramic pads
- Stud conversion from Turner Motorsports
- Rays Racing lugs/locks
Wheels/Tires
- Wheels: Matte Black VMR V710, 19x8.5 front, 19x9.5 rear
- Tires: Hankook Ventus V12, 235/35 front, 265/30 rear

I've met a few guys on here already and im looking forward to meeting more of you guys soon. I'll take some more pics tomorrow when I have light. One of the pics is from the listing and the other two are ones from my instagram. Feel free to follow me @asalaamalakum

Thanks for all the kind replies. I have another set of yellow fogs to install when I get in since the left bulb went out so I'll have pics up later

Hey Jon, welcome to the forum. Glad you were able to pick this car up. Looks good and glad to hear it runs well... Hit me up if you want to meet up this weekend or whenever. Would be good to check out the car and the mods.

Sounds good to me. I'll keep you guys posted, just gotta double check my schedule because I had to push my Orlando trip back a little. If I'm free, I'm game.

Welcome to the group. Good choice on holding out for a ZHP. It's nothing special :drevil, but it sure is different. Enjoy your new family.

Welcome, sir ! I recommend you take good pictures of both BMWs before the 325 is sold. I regret not doing that before selling my 323.

$9K?!?!?! Is that all our '03's are worth?! That seems like a STEAL! I guess it doesn't matter, I'll have this car until it gets mangled beyond repair or I die, hopefully that doesn't happen at the same time.

Welcome! I don't normally like black wheels on, anything, but your car is pulling it off very well. The dark tinted windows, OEM black trim, black splitters and blacked out corners help! Makes me want to pull off my roof-rack, I probably will the next time I wax it.

Thanks for the kind words Marcus. I was thinking about going with a square set of silver csl's next and ditching the staggered set up.
