New ZHP owner here checking in :)

[STREETFIGHTER50]

New member here, but long time browser :) saying hello to everyone. My name is Nic from the Sacramento area. Just wanted to let y'all know how stoked I am with this new (to me) ZHP! A year & half ago I bought my 1st BMW with the advice from my nephew (a long time E46 nut). I picked up a 2003 330i Sport Package. Immediately I was hooked on the E46! What a great handling, solid feeling car! Very good looking & decent on gas I must add. All the time saying to myself, "Man I wish I could have a manual transmission in this thing!" Well just recently on Christmas Eve. I decided to sell my '03 330i to a friend so I could start my search. 3 days later, it's like I hit the lottery all of a sudden lol! I'm working in Sacramento taking a lil break browsing on my iphone & a 2004 Silver-Grey ZHP 6-speed pops up on Craigslist/Saratoga! A lot of phone calls, emails, & scrambling around later that Friday. I have my nephew check it out for me since it's late & I'm so far away. Everything looks great he says. Stoked!! I get no sleep that night thinking/talking about the car! My girl was so irritated lol! We pick it up Saturday. Me & my nephew are flyin down HWY 280 in our 330i's & I just feel like a little kid with the best Christmas present ever :rockon

[Lanister]

[Oli77]

Hi Nic, silbergraw FTW! Looks real clean. Welcome to the Mafia.

We gonna need more stickers boss.

[330blast]

Welcome Nic.

Our next Bay Area gathering will see more cars with all recent new members.

[STREETFIGHTER50]

Right on for the all the welcomes folks! Wow looks like there really is a lot of NorCal members on the site! Hopefully we get some cruising & twisty fun in the springtime. Also, thanks to ELCID86 for recommending me :)

[illirep]

Looking good. Welcome. Silver gray is a classic!

[STREETFIGHTER50]

Welcome! What's the mileage on it? Looks mint!

Picked it up with 81,600 miles on it. I was trippin my 330i I just sold had 81,4xx miles on it-almost identical mileage lol! Not mint, but it's pretty clean to me. Only 2 dings. 1 on the drivers front fender & 1 on the RR quarter. Hopefully can get them pushed out. Front bumper has scratches on the bottom area & a few light ones on the body that looks like can be buffed out. Interior has a few issues as well. Alcantara steering wheel has a real worn spot @ 6:00 & the drivers window button is cracked/loose.

Welcome from a Guy with a similar story. I picked up my 2003. On Saturday afternoon December 23, 2006 and just celebrated seven years of driving pleasure.
