Hello all!

I am very excited to finally introduce myself. I started lurking about 6 months ago and jumped on registering when it opened. Now that I have a ZHP I feel like its an appropriate time to introduce myself.

My name is Ethan. 21 years old and I live in Denver, Colorado.

Her name is Zoey. One owner. Full records. 2006, 6MT, 80K

A couple of days ago I flew down to Los Angeles to pick up a ZHP that Johnrando was kind enough to check out for me a few weeks ago. (Thank you again!) The seller was in no rush to sell so the entire process took about a month. This car sure was worth the wait and hard work to save money to buy it ! Me and my dad had an amazing time driving the car back through twisties and open roads.

I'm excited to join this awesome community, and to continue learning about these beautiful machines.

This is my first BMW...and I thought for giggles I would put up my previous car.. 93' Honda Civic (Lil' red) . I would say that the ZHP is a bit of an upgrade :)

I predict you'll have that grin on your face for a long time coming with that car. Enjoy and welcome.

Thank you all for such a warm welcome! Part of the reason why I wanted a ZHP was because of the community!

I think we may have talked about this earlier :) I'm originally from Littleton but, currently live in Parker.

You have excellent taste Peter haha It really was a fun father & son trip. I highly recommend taking a trip like it with your son.

I was pleasantly surprised by its beauty! You were right when you said the car is in pristine condition! Me and my father really couldn't believe the condition the car is in. It's almost going to be hard to use as a daily driver :/. But, its a very beautiful car and you did not steer me wrong that is for sure!


I predict you'll have that grin on your face for a long time coming with that car. Enjoy and welcome.

OH yes! I think I will too in addition to those idiotic grins and yelps when accelerating.

Thanks...its quiet a dramatic change for me. Gotta love the hondas for their reliability.

You didn't happen to go to CU did you? (Avatar)

Glad to hear Ethan. Def didn't want to oversell it but it's freakin' beautiful! You definitely got a winner there.

Thanks! Yeah, one of the things that amazed us most was that the interior was pretty much completely spotless! It looked practically brand new on the inside with the exception of some of the black paint peeling on the center console. On top of all of this it sounds amazing, and drives like a dream. Me and my dad commented that we aren't sure what more you could ask for in a car. Coming from the honda..I really like the sound system..and the creature comforts. My dad was blown away when he went to parallel park it...the passenger mirror tilted down towards the curb. Now he wants one!

Yup, lots of cool goodies like that on this car that you wouldn't expect at first, especially given their age.
