New Member - 04 Imola ZHP - Seattle

[Dylan]

Hey all, Happy to finally have gotten this lovely ZHP! I'm currently the 4th owner of this Imola Red ZHP. This is my first BMW, lots of research went into finding the right daily driver. The ZHP is great because while its sporty, its not an M car so it still gets decent gas milage, and maintenance not too high. Im basically a nooby, but Im willing to try stuff out and will utilize a lot of the write ups here; I'm here to learn.

Little bit about the car:
Bought this car from the previous owner who recently moved up to Seattle from California, so the car has lived almost its whole previous life in Cali up to now.

Specs:
- 2004 Imola Red ZHP 6 speed
- Odometer when bought: 98,XXX (current)
- Leather Schwarz Interior w/ Silver Cube trim
- Cold Weather Package (includes heated seats - nice in the winter up here)
- Factory Nav Unit

Aftermarket:
(All done by previous owners)
- AFE Intake
- Shark injector Tune
- BC Coilovers
- M3 Rims (apparently the originals were cracked - Looking to get CSL Reps)
- Custom Exhaust, strait pipe, muffler Delete
- Yellow fog lights (Looking to put clear fogs back in)
- Multi Color LED Angel eyes (far left dimming issue)

Pictures after purchase:

Welcome! Some nice mods to get it started, and the wheels look great!

Personally, I removed my angel eyes. I like the cleaner look, but that's just opinion.

Welcome.

Don't forget about the foglight covers. Looks like you are missing them.

Welcome. Great get!

Thanks Everyone!

@Avetiso, I always thought the Angels were sorta silly, might take them out when I replace the headlight lenses

@Vas, I thought the fogs looked a little funny, now its pretty obvious that the covers are missing, thanks for pointing that out.

I like angel eyes if they are done right.
