Greetings,
Just shooting everyone a quick hello.
I purchased my ZHP in May ‘21, and while I was originally looking for a sedan, when I saw this particular coupe and the shape it was in for the mileage and price, i jumped in with both feet, lol. From what I’ve been seeing with the market since then, I’m glad I bought when I did! I have an ‘06 330ci, Jet Black w/light beige Montana leather interior, 6MT. From what I gather from the production numbers chart on this site, it’s 1 of just 6 produced with this color combo.
Purchased it with just under 73k miles and put on just over 1k during the summer. Sadly, I put it in winter storage last week, as I don’t want to expose it to the Wisconsin winters.
Over the summer I had a few small dings (and one slightly larger ding) pulled, reinforced the front and rear strut towers with plates, replaced the head gasket and oil filter housing gasket, replaced the A,B and C pillar covers, swapped the aftermarket black kidney grills with new OEMs, and installed an M3 strut bar. I was also fortunate enough to acquire a BMW Performance air box from a poor soul from Canada who’s 330i was totaled out in a rear-end accident (I think he may have been a member as well). Trying to keep it as stock as possible, with a few exceptions, like the Scorpion exhaust that came with the car when I bought it. I’ve also had contact with several members via FB who’ve not only been helpful in answering my questions, but have encouraged me to join the group as well.
Here’s a few pics, glad to be a member!
