Just as the title says, I purchased Alobi's 2003 silver 4 door ZHP. Nice car but it does have some flaws. Buying a used car will always have a few flaws.
Here is his ad. (http://www.zhpmafia.com/forums/showthread.php?12974-FOR-SALE-2003-BMW-330i-ZHP-Sedan-(titanium-silver-leather-alcantara-6MT-68k-miles)-13-900-(Raleigh-NC))
Took it to a shop to have an oil change and safety service completed. Also I had to drop it off to get the green sheet for Texas registration.
This is what they found:
1. Front pads and rotors will need to be replaced in the next few months. $715.00 quote.
2. Leaking power steering hoses; reservoir to pump and reservoir to cooler. Not too bad but advised to repair in a couple of months. $445.00 quote.
3. Differential cover is leaking. Again advised to repair in a couple of months. $900.00 quote including new fluid.
4. Rear shocks and shock mounts not installed correctly. This car has ST V1 coilovers. I will have to look at that and see what I want to do with those rear shocks.
5. Front control arm bushings were not installed correctly. I had the shop to those along with the oil change.
Other than that it is a pretty solid car. I did though have to get an alignment late last week. The car wanted to pull to the left pretty badly.
Kept the car in the Mafia, now it is time to get these things repaired and just drive the car to work and back. Just wanted to give you all an update on the car.
