I am finally a ZHP owner!!

[E46Fan]

I have been planning to purchase a ZHP for quite a few years now, and I finally sealed the deal. My 2002 325i sport has given me 326K miles, but time to move on.

I found a 2005 330ci ZHP coupe with leather seats and ZCW, the cold weather package a must here in Maine. She had 94,404mi when purchased, but very clean and good maintenance records.

A few pics...

This was on the way home, stopped at Bavarian Autosport in Portsmouth to load up on goodies

Congrats and welcome, I see you didn’t waste any time.

Which model VMR did you choose?

[ZHPizza]

Nice! Looks like you got some excellent goodies too. Definitely start a build thread for us to follow along.

The first upgrades installed are a Coby Wheel leather wrap, leather shift knob, shift boot, e-brake boot and transferred my Sounplicity unit over from the 325

I personally love the 2005 coupe lines the most. Brings the best of the ZHP in every part.

Welcome to the CI Zhp club.

Contacts and welcome! Your coupe is so clean.
Great progress on the maintenance.

Overhaul! Good work and nice pick up!

Great start and looks like the previous owner has done some exterior detail work!. Please stop by the official titanium silver thread

Nice stuff! Like early Christmas.

Thank you everyone! Digging in to more preventative maintenance this weekend. Fuel filter and maybe rear diff oil change. Hoping to get the Conti's mounted on the V710's and on the car Sunday.

Other items that are in the goody stack include;
control arms
Poly FCAB
end links
Koni Special Active struts and shocks
Strut bearings and spring pads
Bimmerworld RSM
Heavy duty RTAB
Cold weather CCV
Beisan anti rattle and O-ring kits

Previous owner provided solid maintenance records. Full coolant system refresh and oil filter housing gasket done. New valve cover gasket and plugs.

Guess I''ll need to post on the part-out or suspension forums to see if I can find a rear spring.
