Hello Everybody!

it's been a long tough battle for me but i have finally become the proud owner of an e46 ZHP saloon. it happened yesterday afternoon. here are the small but great details of the car.

2004 330i ZHP
69k miles
Mystic Blue
AT (wished it was 6MT but i still love her)

Picked it up from a little indy dealer in San Diego, CA. I'm really happy with it and i know that coming into a community such as this one will make the experience of owning this car that much better. i cannot wait to meet those of you in the SoCal area and chat with everyone else wherever you may be.

little background about myself, i had a 1999 Galant that unfortunately, died due to a small collision with a mountain wall in Dec. of 2010. i knew that i needed a car but didn't think that i would be as lucky as i am to have this car. i have looked high and low to find the right ZHP and well i was pleased to be able to find it. and i actually owe the thanks to this site here. i accidentally stumbled upon it and looked at the "classifieds" and couldn't have been more excited.

overall the car is great and i look forward and hope that if i have any questions that i can feel extremely welcome to ask them all and hopefully have answers to them! the car just needs some good ol fashioned TLC and she will look stunning!

I look forward to meeting you all and here are some quick shots i took with my iPhone (may not be best quality) for your viewing pleasure. :cool

Thank You everyone. I have small plans for the car. Frankly I plan on keeping it almost fully stock. Maybe some OEM upgrades. I do want to know, how many of you have installed the iPod ICE adaptor and is it worth it?

I have it installed. I am actually selling it to a friend though, once the car comes back out of storage. For iPod integration it works great and sounds good! I just really dont use my iPod anymore, and am not a huge fan of having it in the car if I dont use it.

The only complaint I have, is that the song titles constantly appear on the display. I see burnt pixels in the future of cars with it installed for years... :dunno

SC4ME, love those AEs! Which ones are those?

abd1028, thanks man! I like your silver. Been a fan of that color for a long time. I do enjoy the blue though.

Looking forward to seeing it in person at our Socal mafioso gathering. Now that I've recently become ZHP crazy I just do not see them on the streets anymore. Since I joined ZHP Mafia I have not seen one ZHP. Glad they are all ending up in the right community though :)

Congrats Tripod.

Terry, for some reason, i feel the same way! i used to see them and now its like a rarity! ALTHOUGH!!! the monday after i bought my car, i went to the local gas station (the shell by the spectrum and great indoors) and i saw the HOTTEST woman driving a ZHP Vert. it was black and most likely AT but damn i almost stopped and reparked my car and was gonna try and strike up a convo but my buddy was being a bitch (probably jealous that he doesn't have a ZHP and can't get hot women with ZHPs too haha).
