The car came to me exactly as described, which is no surprise since I bought private party from the 2nd owner. I have all service documentation from day one as well as the original window sticker. Car has had routine fluids, a few Inspection I's, an Inspection II, cooling system work, valve cover gasket was done early, suspension work, and brand new Michelin Pilot Sport A/S to top it off.

Short term plans:
-Replaced a near mint alcantara steering wheel with a perforated leather one - COMPLETE
-Installed brand new shift knob and boot - COMPLETE
-Hardwire V1 radar detector - COMPLETE
-Install OEM BMW Performance Intake - COMPLETE
-Have a few dents PDR'ed - COMPLETE
-Replace the SRM airbag module - COMPLETE
-Recondition leather seats - COMPLETE
-Replace passenger side front window regulator
-Replace the windshield cowl
-Inspection II service
-Valve cover gasket and spark plugs
-Replace or rehab headlight lenses
-Replace windshield wiper arms and blades
-Cooling system refresh
-Front control arm bushings

Still no pics... :foottap

Posted a few interior - need to wash the exterior before I post up!

[Hermes]

Is it just me or are the pics upside down

[illirep]

When I initially loaded them they were. I rotated them 180 degrees and reloaded them. Now they show up fine from my end, but not for you!? I'm dumbfounded.

[ELCID86]

Working.

That interior looks fantastic ! The NAV is a big plus. Curious fact here ... The pics look fine on my PC. But, they are inverted on my iPad. And I compared both in a two minute time frame.

Just enough to play with my emotions...

At some point Bill will have owned every ZHP ever made..

I am trying to get him to even trade mine for that AW sedan he purchased... :shift

[illirep]

Still haven't had time to give her a proper cleaning and take pic's...

Look what UPS dropped off last night ;)

[illirep]

I will also use this opportunity to do a ZHPmafia specific DIY for the seat and door panel swap!

Alright, Bill... I have seen a few posts here and E46f... I think it is time for some sort of update! :foottap

[illirep]

Matt - will update the posts above. I have been busy with this one! Still haven't been able to source Natural Brown front seats, as such haven't installed the door panels and rear sits sitting in my garage....

This car is listed on craigslist and cars.com as I'm still sitting on the Alpine White ZHP, and I'm not so hopeful of a sale with winter around the corner - and with the natural brown interior I've been piecing together, I may be tempted to register the AW one and do the interior conversion, versus losing money on it.

Also took some pictures this morning on the Princeton University Campus. Linked above.

[fredo]

I understand now. Slick top = sunroof delete. Very rare, indeed.

[PirateZHP]

Good looking car, Bill. Not sure that I have seen silver grey with NB interior... could be cool!

Sucks you cant get the AW sold. Are you saying you may keep it and put NB in the AW? That WOULD be cool... Joop, where you at?

[illirep]

Thanks Matt. I'd prefer not keep the AW, but given the rarity of the car, and relatively low mileage, I simply refuse to take a loss on it. I can't believe it hasn't sold yet. But there is a very limited customer base for premium priced ZHP's, and that is likely the reason.

[PirateZHP]

Understood. You know that if I was in the position, I would have taken it off your hands a little while ago. I will have an AW at some point!

In any case, you have a couple nice ones there. Hope it all works out in some way or another!

Where on earth are you getting this stuff???? I never see anything NB for sale in sport seat version...

[illirep]

These were on ebay for a long time. Actually got linked here about two weeks after I starting eyeing them up....

Interesting that you say that because just a few weeks ago I looked and found nothing, just like the many times I've looked before that. :(

I recall adding a few links to that NB thread from eBay. No wonder they were off eBay so quick.
