Hello everyone, let me first say that I am ecstatic to finally be an official member of the ZHP Mafia! This is without a doubt the best BMW forum I have come across, the hospitality and information here is invaluable. Now to the good stuff.
My name is Ashton, I am from Western Kentucky 21 years old, and I have been in love with BMW's since I was young. It started on a family vacation to Myrtle Beach many years ago, I grew up around cars but had no real knowledge about them. On this trip, we stopped to refuel at a Shell station, and then it happened. I saw a car getting gas, and it really caught my eye like nothing before. It was so subtle and understated yet aggressive a beautiful. Then the sound it made when he pulled out, I was hooked. That car was an Imola E46 M3, and ever since I have been almost infatuated with BMW as a company.
As for me, my first car was a 2003 Audi A6, and that went south very fast, resulting in me getting an E36 325i. After that, I moved to a 2005 325ci in my favorite BMW color, Alpine White. That car sealed the deal for me, it was everything I needed in a vehicle, although I longed for a proper gearbox. After less than a year of ownership, a deer jumping out of a cornfield laid that car to rest. It was a scary moment and made me sad to see my baby like that, but that event led me to purchase my new-to-me 2005 330ci, 6-Speed Manual, Black Sapphire Metallic ZHP. In short, at this stage in my life, this car is pure bliss.
I knew exactly what I was looking for when searching for this car, it had to be a ZHP Coupe with a manual, with somewhat mild mileage. The simplicity, refinement and rarity of these cars is what draws me to them. I feel I never use my stereo, the song the exhaust note plays never gets old to me. Anyway, enough about me, here are some terrible iPhone pictures of my car. I desperately need to purchase an actual camera.
