I wanted to take the time to introduce myself as I am a new member to the ZHP Mafia, but a long time follower and owner.
I have been the lucky owner of a 2003.5 (May build date) Black over Natural Brown, 6 spd, slick top ZHP sedan since 2006. This was, and still is, my dream car when from the moment I purchased the car from an old man that didn't realize what he bought when he ordered the car. Therefore, I was able to purchase the car for a CRAZY good deal for the time and an even better buy when you look at today's prices. But I purchased the car over a M3 at the time because, like many of us, BMW did not make a M3 sedan in 2006 and a sedan was the most practical car for me heading to college. (Yes I did get this car for high school graduation but I was only able to afford/justify it due to receiving full scholarship to college via ROTC)
The present day state of the car is average, and with my first child on the way I want to keep the car as safe and reliable as ever. Therefore, I have started updating/modifying the car. I have been following the ZHP Mafia since it was first founded but never thought to of joining until I started a "project". I am currently located in the Fort Bragg/Southern Pines, NC area and I have finally started my build.
A little about the car. As stated its a Black over Natural Brown 6 spd slick top sedan with 140,000 miles on the clock. All maintenance is up to date with the only major stuff left being a cooling system, clutch and brake overhaul. I just got done installing a full suspension upgrade with Bilstein B16 PSS10s and PowerFlex Bushing throughout the car. Therefore, my future plans are to update/upgrade the still original brakes, do some cosmetic maintenance and start down the power adder road with the usual tune/headers/exhaust/intake/LSD.
