Lurking awhile, but figured I should introduce myself...

[COBMWs]

I've been browsing the classifieds (and posting here and there) for months now, and figured I should officially post on the "intro" thread.

I'm in the Denver area and am currently in search for a nice, low mile ZHP - probably a coupe or 'vert, but open to a sedan as well.

My wife and I both have a love for BMWs. We've owned the following (in order of ownership, so we've "bounced around" in the years and lineup):

'07 530xi (sport, manual)
'08 328xi (sport, auto)
'02 530i (sport, manual)
'95 318ti
'12 X3
'04 330ci
'11 335xi (m-sport, manual)
'10 328xiT (m-sport, manual)

We have the complimenting m-sports right now, but I'm just about to complete a sale on that 335xi and hit the ZHP search pretty hard.

Thanks everyone! Look forward to "officially" joining sometime in the not so distant future.

Literally just had my 335 picked up by a shipping company and it's on its way to its new owner.

Got money in my pocket burning a hole for a ZHP!

Good luck finding your car. There was a nice IR/black sedan (78k miles, Dinan stage 2 suspension, cold weather package, PDC) for sale in your area a few weeks ago. Ping me if your interested and I connect you with the seller. I almost bought that car before I decided on mine.

My experience was a motivated buyer can find a nice ZHP pretty quickly.

Can I ask why you wanted out of the 335xi and into a ZHP? Just time for a change? I looked real hard for the right 335i to replace our X3, but we got a good deal on the 328d, so I couldn't say no... I'm still tempted by the 335i M-sport though...

Good question. I drive a lot of miles with commuting and taking kids from sport to sport, and the 335 became more of an occasional fun car for me, as I favored the larger family vehicles we have in the fleet. It took me awhile to get comfortable with the decision, but I decided I could fulfill that "fun" car desire with something like a ZHP, at half the cost or less.

I bought a used '04 330ci 'vert last year and liked the E46 chassis and dynamics so much that it made me realize I'd like something like that - but in a manual. It had the sport package, but not the ZHP.

Welcome and good luck with your search for a ZHP. You should like the ZHP,. My wife has an 06 330Cic vert with the sport package and auto and it's nothing like my ZHP.

Welcome!

Love the touring! I recall seeing one similar a few years back for sale online (was located in California), 328i touring Alpine White M-Sport, loaded. I should have flown out and bought it for a DD!
