Hey all,

I tried to up in when I first purchased my zhp, but something must have went wrong, which is ok. I joined the Facebook group and got in contact with the right people and have now completed my membership.

I purchased my zhp from BMW of schererville with 120k miles. I had gotten into bmws by way of an e36 i had purchased for $500 and flipped! They told me the p.o. had driven from Ohio to purchase a newer vehicle they had. Seemed well taken care of. I immediately switched the water pump to a Stewart and have had to do minimal maintenance. Only major issue was the starter failing (which didnt matter being a 6speed). I have run 2 full seasons locally at autocross, and have thoroughly enjoyed the car.

I can't stress enough how great of a decision buying this car was. I'm excited to finally be a member after browsing the forums for awhile, and look forward to meeting some of the more active members. I used to be part of a smaller forum for my old car, a 2001 mercury cougar. I learned all I needed to know on that car, and now am a technician and do all my own work on my vehicles. And I must say, this Is a rewarding car to wrench on and drive.

Thank you again for having me, and have a happy halloweenhttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20171025/0b4e7303df4e262679b2dd9926e8c2a1.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20171025/da751fafb96140abebbdaacad4bef4f5.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20171025/7b95195c30fbd13f7b7839387a476309.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20171025/5ea35a7746ea792ce2d58a36eb7e423b.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20171025/db2c8acc5722d4060f25550d7f73d5f8.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20171025/197735011bf3fbc57b144f15bb5428ba.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20171025/a825be38df58c55de6bd016c0072d705.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20171025/97fecad4fdeafdcdaefb6010f694c31c.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20171025/f45cf078a1be4814aa2d2b02adee2143.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20171025/e50efd4ed7f46cc3f8892505945e5681.jpg

Any 330 with a 3.46 diff will smoke a ZHP every time. The whole Mafia thing reeks of childish behavior." - anonymous E46 fanatic

I like those too, almost picked up a set. They have pretty ideal offsets if I remember correctly.

Yeah that is a great plate. I guess Illinois can now be the official home of the TiAg ZHP.

Thank you for the welcome guys!

For those that asked, I'm in the northwest Indiana area right outside Chicago.

And yes, the plate actually just came in last month and I love it! I just thought of it one day a few months ago and when I did, I knew I had to get it when it was time to renew. A few buddies of mine said it was too perfect.

Also the wheels in the one picture I'm going to be picking up this winter. My buddy has them on his e90, and they're off a new 4 series sport package. He's selling them to me, but I borrowed them for a day to see how I liked them
