Hey guys!

I picked up a clean 2004 Imola over Sand Beige ZHP a month ago! At this point, it's safe to say that I love it! While it's a little slow by today's standards, I really think the E46 chassis is still one of the finest driving cars on the road.

The car is mostly stock, except for Konis, VMR VB3s, an AFE intake, and a few other odds and ends.

As for me, I'm a habitual forum lurker. You've got a cool little community here though, and I'm glad to be a part. I might have run into a few of you guys on the facebook group the other day.

Anyway, the only pictures I have right now are off my phone, but I'll post them anyway. Maybe in the next six months I clean the car up and take some quality photos. :word

Welcome! Nice IR over Sand ZHP! Seems to be a rare color combo.

Sent from my pineapple under the sea.

Welcome.

Welkomen Jeff! The more ZHPs I see, the more I realize I should have known about them before I go my ZSP. But really, the mafia wasn't up then, so that's the excuse.

Car looks clean!

Another Jeff w/ a ZHP in Seattle - right on!

Welcome to the forum. Are you new to Seattle or did that car come from out of state? Doesn't look like a WA plate.

I've been in Seattle for quite a while but the car is new to the area. The seller was an enthusiast (and possible member here) who had just moved from NC.

Sorry man, but I'm a bit of a Seahawks fan. :p Although I'm definitely a fair-weather fan... I'm more of a college football guy myself.

The wheels are 8.5 in front and 9.5 in the rear. To be honest I think the 265s I'm running in the rear are a bit overkill. I've always been a fan of the Style 135s, if anyone wants to trade I might be game.

Welcome from the other side of the 49th. :) What did you drive before?

Thanks man! I've had a long string of cars that's included an old Fiat, a VW Corrado, an E36 M3, and a WRX among other things, but most recently I was driving a MKIV VW R32.

It was a terrifically fun car most of the time, but I got tired of it. The chassis wasn't great, nor the steering. It was tossable and playful though, and sounded fantastic.

[Rovert]

I really like the feel of the new GTI's. They feel nice and tossable with road feel from the light auto X session I had with it. Their low end torque is just perfectly suited for the city.

But there is just a deeper feeling of connected soul in a BMW.

I never knew this existed? I was trying to simplify so I just input Seattle and it seems the marker over-layed another Seattle ZHP owner on the map. So I used my specific zip code/city which is just outside Seattle - now I can see the other member again (as well as mine).

Maybe I don't know how to use this tool but perhaps those in bigger cities with the same city and/or zip....perhaps there are more people than the map shows if there are markers stacked on top of each other?

Cool nonetheless!
