Hey all,

My name is Max and I’m a recent addition to the family. Currently, I have a 2005 ZHP sedan with full alcantara interior that I purchased from a gentleman in VA. Since then, I have completed all preventative maintenance and continue to drive it as my daily/commuter car. I am no stranger to BMW’s, as this is my 7th one, the previous cars being all e30’s. The ZHP is a lot tamer and more enjoyable on long trips than any of my old e30’s were.

I was referred to this site by another member who was gracious enough to contact Dane for me in response to my ZKW bowl offering over on e46fanatics. As a mechanical engineer working for a bearing manufacturer, my background in coatings and platings served me well to find an OEM solution to this issue. For those interested, I have started a thread here in the vendor section:

I certainly look forward to contributing to ZHPMafia, and if anyone has any questions for me, please feel free to contact me.

Thanks

Max

Yes, the silver car was originally an auto that I 5spd swapped and rebuilt an m20 for, then I rebuilt an m52 and zf trans for it. Was a great car.

Thanks for the compliments and welcome all

Max is a common name among Russians. He's asking you if you are Russian (perhaps of Slavic blood, in general), because there are a few Russians, including Vas and I, on the boards.

Welcome to the site. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do.

Thanks again everyone for the welcome. I need to get more pictures of my ZHP, or we can just discuss e30's!

I appreciate the offer. I will actually be at eurofest next weekend at the BMW plant. Are you planning on going?

I'll more than likely be in Tiger Town for the FSU game, but if it's still going on Sunday I'll definitely go. My dad works at the plant; I have no idea why he hasn't said anything about it haha
