Hey all. Recognize some of you from bf.c.

I've been in the market for a ZHP for quite some time. They're just so hard to find. Y'all need to sell your cars once in a while... stop holding onto them!

Right now I have an 02 325i. As soon as I drove my first BMW, I was hooked. Now I'm looking for a little bit more hp, and who wouldnt like the looks of the zhp. Seems to me like a perfect fit for me.

One thing I'll say truthfully, I have never been more intimately connected to a vehicle before. I know it sounds cheesy, and I know its no Ferrari, but BMW has an excellent ability to change how people view cars. I love mine, and am a Bimmer fan for life.

Pic I took today while out Geocaching;

Welcome Matt. I'm over on the extreme Western edge of WI, near Minneapolis. Check the regional forum here for info on the Eurowerks show this summer in MN.

Phone 1: iPhone 4
Phone 2: Touch Pro 2

No droid pwnage for this guy :(

Parameters;
Year; Any
Mileage; Reasonable. <150k?
Color, prioritized; Imola, AW, Black, any other

I'd like to have heated seats, not a deal breaker.

Manual is a preference, but again, not a deal breaker.

Cheap. I know this is a silly thing to be concerned with, but I'd rather replace my own parts and know the car rather than take someone else's word that they replaced this and that. I have a full garage of tools so I'm not concerned about repairs.

Welcome and good luck. You will find what you want in time.

And I too enjoy geocaching though it's been since last summer since I went. There are tons of great caches around here.

I'd like to stay at $12k or less.

And it must be a sedan.

The one in Oregon is nice, but 2000 miles away... damn.

Im patient. Like I said, I love my current car. Plus, there's still salt on the roads up here in Wisconsin hey. I've washed my car in the driveway 8 times this year already. Once I had to leave the garden hose running otherwise it would freeze up lol.

Welcome Matt. I'm brand new here myself and actually not too far from you - just over in Marshfield. I bought my ZHP about a year ago now after searching for almost 6 months. I finally found the right color combination, mileage, etc down in St. Louis so my girlfriend and I drove down there on a Friday and came back with it on Saturday. My friends and family thought I was crazy but every time I get into it and turn the key I know I bought the right car. :)

Welcome Matt! Ten years ago, I was also hooked after driving my first bmw. It was a friend's car and after that, I sold my VWs and bought a BMW for myself. :)

Ha! Friends and family who view cars as a way to get from point a to point b just don't understand. My friends and family thought I was nuts when I had a 20 year old car shipped to me from California.

Sounds good! I've never ate there but I hear it's pretty good. My favorite place here is the Blue Heron Brew Pub (http://www.blueheronbrewpub.com/). Great food and great beer!
