WTB: e46 ZHP Sedan. White/Alcantara. Manual Transmission

[symphonie.morales]

Hi, I'm in search of an Alpine White/Alcantara e46 ZHP Sedan. It has to be manual transmission and the price has to match up with the condition of the car. I currently do not have a budget in mind and I will consider anything that meets my standards :)

[Avetiso]

Oof. Tough one. Good luck finding it, it'll be a keeper!

[danewilson77]

Heck...might as well look for the unicorn....if you're gonna look:)

And sunroof delete, right?

[symphonie.morales]

What girl wants a sunroof delete? Haha

Yeah.....I know...I know...hehe

But....you did say you wanted a manual, so I was thinking.....well.....forget it :/

[symphonie.morales]

What is it Dane?

Naaa...I'm just messing with you. Good luck in your search. Everyone is going to be keeping an eye out for your unicorn now.

[zhpnsnv]

You're searching for a ghost. When you find it, we will rejoice.

And sunroof delete, right?

:rofl That's the cherry on top! LOL!!!


Seriously though, that would be so :drool

I wish you luck on the search, and I hope you're willing to pay a premium so it doesn't slip through the cracks!

[symphonie.morales]

Whoever has my future ZHP and sells it to me.. I will legit love them forever. That's a promise ;)

[Avetiso]

Might want to consider leather interior and then swap later.

God, i (freaking) HATE my sunroof!!!! When I was getting ready to do the Vinyl on the roof I was scouring the web trying to figure out a way to lay the vinyl over the sunroof and have it appear as if it was never there. Everything I looked at and read and people I talked to said, i would still have the "outline" of the sunroof. ARGH!!!!!!! Damn big azz heavy piece of glass crap! :(

Sorry to derail the thread. Good luck with your search!

Ironic you all should mention the "unicorn".. When I was first searching for my ZHP I dubbed one the "unicorn"... It was the exact car you are looking for (I wanted leather, but whatever), and it had a low 67K miles... It was on Autotrader for about 2 years... Don't look now, its finally gone. Anyway, after leaving the guy MANY voicemails stating that I was willing to pay full price, sight unseen, I never heard back, and deemed it was not actually for sale, at least not anymore... Either way, it was "the unicorn"...

Since then, I found my first ZHP, a twin of the one I currently own, but an '04... After wrecking, I magically found a pristine '03, the car I have now... At the time I was shopping, there was one other for sale up in MA, but it was in looked to be in rough shape. It has since disappeared. There was also one in TX, an '03 with natural brown leather, but it definitely was in VERY rough shape... It has since disappeared also. Both had over 110K miles.

So, from what I know, myself and another member 'trancenation' who lives in San Francisco are the only two active owners of alpine white sedans on the mafia. Kyle (dasmechaniker) posted some photos of an alpine white sedan doing autocross at the Performance Center in SC, but I don't know if its an active member...

That is the basic layout of alpine white sedans, at least from what I know... And lets just say I keep a VERY close eye on alpine white sedans, at least the manual ones...

And for what its worth, I am toying with the idea of selling. You said you have no budget in mind, so look in the projects forum for my thread on my car. Check it out and let me know your thoughts. :thumbsup

I also was going to buy an AW/Alcantara/6MT ZHP last year that was located in Phily but the seller quit all communications with me randomly.

[cakM3]

When I grow up I want an AW/Alcantara or NB ZHP in either coupe, sedan, or vert....;)

Best of luck. I've been looking for a couple years now with no luck. Very rare cars.

[Vas]

Good luck.

[trancenation]

Good luck with your search Morales! You will not be disappointed with your selection! Patience is key to finding the white (right) one!

*E90 M3*

Well in that case, all is forgiven!

OP, good luck with this... mostly good luck battling with everyone else who is trying to buy when "the one" pops up!

[trancenation]

That's a very good choice of automobile sir. That is also what I am looking to get later on down the road! E90 M3 AW ZCP! Win..

Perhaps we can be AW buddies on M3forum.com in the future haha

[elsanto]

haha, I had been in contact with them also, it was sold while I was arranging a PPI :(

[ELCID86]

Good eye! But, that's a bummer.

I was considering another e46M but I knew that no other e46M out there would match up to my first! I really like the thought of a grocery getter that'll blow the doors off of other cars so I went on the search for a ZHP, but since my Alpine/Alcantara seems impossible to find.. I might just go with Imola red

You might as well go with the best color anyways.

So which color might that be Mr. Unbiased Forum Owner -- mystic blue, silver gray, Phoenix yellow???

[webster]

ugh Joop, i know my opinion means nothing to you, but your ZHP is sexier than any E90 (//M or not) will ever be. look how nose heavy that thing is! it's almost at a 45 degree angle!

[JupiterBMW]

:shifty Its parked on a slight slope... Thanks for the compliment though, and I value everyone's opinion... But, considering selling my ZHP to get into the E90 is a massively huge decision for me, and given that, trust me, I'm already in way too deep. :rofl


I mean seriously, for those of you that didn't know, why do you think I have ZCP rep wheels on my car?! If only there was a way to slam that 4.0L V8 under the hood... :biggrin

[BCS_ZHP]

^oh, there most definitely is, you need to talk with Au2bahn (Jon Estrella) and 330i (Stuart) about which v8s will fit in an e46 engine bay...

Ok so acquire an S65, ship it and my car up to Stu, and that's it, right? Done.

The S65 has been put into an engine bay of an E46 sedan Jon. It's been done before...:thumbsup

[symphonie.morales]

I've seen too many Imola Reds. Sticking with my Alpine/Alcantara lol

[Vas]

Wish I could own one in each color.

Good call. So what's your budget anyway??

I don't really have a budget in mind, I'm willing to pay the premium for what I want :)

[JupiterBMW]

Ok well let me get a potential FS thread put together and you can take a look at the vehicle details.
