ZHP owners in DC/MD/VA [Archive] - BMW E46 330 ZHP For Sale Forum

Hi all,

I know there is a thread pertaining to member's and location, I am not sure how accurate it is though.

I'm curious to know the active member's who currently own a zhp in the listed area. I'm in the market to purchase a zhp, but have yet to see one in person or ride/drive one.

If any members are still in the area, would you be willing to show me the ropes and take me for a spin?

I'm in Harford county, north of Baltimore City.

Appreciate your time, guys and gals.

If you are willing to make the drive, I am in the zipcode of 22841. Otherwise elcid86 (Shawn) is probably the next best bet since alot of members in MD/DC/NOVA are no longer zhp owners.

I am in Northern VA, zip code 22601. If you are ever in this area let me know and you can check out the ZHP :)

This might be a good time to have a meet/greet set-up for the fall season. A couple years back we did a fall cruise through Skyline Drive.

Or a maintenance day of some-sort would be also an option.

BMW of Sterling is hosting an Oktoberfest on Saturday, September 16, if you're looking for a place & excuse to get together. More details as they come available!

There are not many details yet. Ryan Hoover, the parts manager (& all-around great guy!) wanted to do a car show, so that's why I'm involved (as concours chairman for National Capital Chapter BMW CCA) & have to be there! This won't be a judged show like the one in May - probably a people's choice with some fun categories. There will be door prizes from the dealership.
As I'm not in control of the event, I'm getting nervous with so little info & the event <5 weeks away!

Looks like the event at BMW of Sterling is cancelled which is a bummer.

How about a list of members that would be interested in a meet? I can potentially host a light maintenance date on a Saturday but that would require people to drive roughly 100 miles.

Otherwise we can do a cruise or a meet at one of the breweries next to Skyline Drive. Fall foliage is usually in late Octorber FYI.

I like the idea of a meet up. I live in Stafford and work in Falls Church right off I-395. I met up with a member and potential buyer the other night and took him for a spin. Happy to do the same with you.

Thanks everyone for the responses!

For those who offered their time, I will attempt to schedule time to contact you all over the next few months. I'd like to move quicker but lost my mother in law last Monday. I'm left to deal and sort the Estate.

Skyline or a meetup group would be a good idea especially for those who may not be able to attend the Reunion.

Thanks again, folks. In these times I find myself scouring for sale ads and DIY threads for countless hours. It's a good mental break and learning experience. I'm impressed with the amount of knowledge and "can do" determination this group has towards their projects and willingness to one another. I appreciate those little things.

Skyline shouldn't be too bad in early September. The color change that brings everyone out will start in October.

I agree. And we did a leaf-drive a few years back and it wasn't that bad.

Do y'all prefer drive or maintenance day? (For most of us it will be a drive just to get there!). I'd propose a breakfast meet-up in Culpepper, VA then head to Vas' by way of a twister route.

Seeing as I'll be driving a non-zhp would be nice to see the cars torn down and lending a hand.

If I am hosting a maintenance day then it would be on a Saturday. It would be more ideal and things won't get cut short. Location would be in zipcode 24441 VA

Sunday would be a better day for a cruise. Could pick a central location to meet since most people are from northern Virginia.

Is Saturday, Sep 23 still looking like a possibility? I usually work Sat AMs so would need to plan ahead.

I have a few things I can do to the coupe - M foot rest, auto-dim mirror, first aid kit, etc. I'd love to have someone there that could make my windows go up with the fob & activate the alarm visuals/acoustics (& blue tooth if necessary). I have the factory alarm bits, but not installed yet. I bought the bluetooth parts from a forum member and they were not well-packaged, so it would be great to verify that the TCU actually works.

Thanks!
