Howdy!

I just picked up an '04 ZHP with 119k miles. It's in very good shape; one owner, very well maintained.

I honestly didn't know the ZHP package existed until a friend sent me the Craigslist ad a few weeks ago... I've owned a 2003 E39 530i for a couple of years, which wasn't well maintained, so this car is practically new by comparison. Given the same engine and less weight, this car's performance should be considerably better.

I've been reading the forums over the last few weeks and appreciate all the info you've collectively assembled. I look forward to reading more and possibly meeting up with some Boston-area owners (if there are any.)

Pic attached...(former owner in the background.) It's a bit dirty so I'll have to give it a good cleaning soon. An oil change and a few other tasks are on the list of things to do in the immediate future.

Welcome. I am in the Boston area and have an '05 Conv 6MT w/100k that I bought this summer. I did a cooling system, Vanos, Valve Cover and a few other things before putting it in storage. I drive a '99 528i 5MT w/125k in the winter. What did you do with your e39?

Trying to sell the E39... Know anyone who wants one? I'm asking $3,900.

Hello Chris,

Welcome!!! Car looks great!
I am 15 minutes north from Boston. I have 03 Imola.
There should be another member from Worcester area, if I am not mistaken.

Where in Cambridge? You may have seen this car in your travels; The previous owner lived in Cambridge just off Mt. Auburn Street.

I drive by there daily. That would be a hoot if I've seen the car :)

Car looks great! Western Mass here but I'm in Burlington often for work.
Cool - I'm out in Springfield every other week for a project I'm working on; the new RMV in Springfield plaza near 291.

South End is CRAZY expensive. If you work in Cambridge you should look at something in Arlington. Getting to Cambridge from the South End at rush hour would be nearly the same as from North Reading...though 93 does suck lately.
