Sooooo... I'm not 100% committed to this scary idea yet... but I believe it might be time for me to consider selling my ZHP to another who will love it just as much. Unfortunately, the more I look at it, the more I realize it's just not synonymous with starting my family and the other hobbies I enjoy. So here's the basic details and the full scoop at the bottom.
Year: 2006
Produced: 2005/11
Make: BMW
Model: 330Ci ZHP
Series: E46
Mileage: 130k
Transmission type: Automatic/Steptronic
Body Type: Coupe
Exterior Color: Sparkling Graphite Metallic (A22)
Interior Color: Anthracite/Alcantara with Silver Cube Trim (G7AT)
Packages: ZHP/Sport
Title status: Clean
VIN: WBABD53406PL18013
So now for the the good, the bad, and the ugly:
Bad and Ugly: Extreme wind shear to the paint on the sunroof panel. The clear coat is bubbling on the bumpers. One bumper corner mount is broken so bumper is hanging loosely at passenger corner. The front bumper has been drug religiously across parking stall bumpers, so the bottom bumper edge is rough. It may be easier to replace with a new front bumper, but I don't do bodywork, so I don't know what can be cleaned up easily. Currently have errors for both the right rear tail and the front Xenon headlight. You'll likely want a fresh paint job (and depending on level of pickiness), also have two small shopping-cart dings removed from the Driver's side door. Steering wheel has peeling on the top edge.
Good: The car runs perfectly! She's in great shape mechanically (having 95%+ full records of service from BMW and Charlie's Europeans). Never been smoked in, and looks fantastic on the interior for it's age and all factory recalls have been completed. I intended to do a full exterior trim refresh after a fresh coat of paint, so nearly every replacement part is already on hand (and included in the deal). Essentially, nearly every 'ugly' thing about this car has a replacement part sitting in my garage waiting for install, See the list below:
Bonus: Considering adding a NIB Carbon Fiber BMW Sport Hood and NIB BMW M3 Trunk Bootlid, (as I intended to add them myself for appearance), but haven't opened the box until I was ready to paint/seal the carbon fiber (to prevent fading).
Here's a listing of my NIB (or like new) replacement parts on hand:
HID Headlight Bulbs
Foglights with Surrounds
Foglight Surround Delete's
Sidemarker Blackouts
LED Tail Lights
Interior Trunk Lights
Front Bumber Guides
Front Fender Liner (Right)
Windshield Cowl
Windshield Cowl Shields (Left/Right)
Wiper Arms
Wipers
Wiper Refills
Rear Window Cowl (Unpainted)
Sunroof Cowl (Tinted/3M Tape-able)
Window Gaskets
Exterior B Column Covers
Exterior Mirror Surrounds
Steering Wheel
Complete Armrest
Rear Ashtray
Shifter Cover (Alcantara or Leather)
CF Brake Handle
CF Custom Cut Overlay Set for ALL decorative surfaces and Gauge Cluster
Complete Dash Trim Sets in various colors, minor wear & tear (Flat Silver/Silver Cube/Black Cube)
Hood Roundel
ELM 327 WiFi Interface Code Reader
OLD Paint Sticks (Base/Clear)
CF Racing Hood & M3 Bootlid Trunk
Aero Catch Shear Pin Latch
Misc BMW Tools

Honestly, I have no idea how to go about getting this car to someone who will love it, while making sure I get a fair value for it at the same time.
Any help/advice you can offer is greatly appreciated!!
