Oops sorry I missed this. That is our (mine) 2008 Chevy 2500HD. It's got a 6" lift with 35" tires. Straight piped running EFI LIVE with approx 500 HP. Believe it or not it would be a close race between this and my M3. Best part is I just made the last payment on it a few weeks ago so all vehicles are Paid Off. [emoji2]
My wife has a 2006 Toyota 4Runner.

Those guys are looking for the older ones. The newer ones should be easier to find.

Thank you to everyone for the awesome replies below... You guys make this the best forum ever... :thumbsup


Sweet! Love that color. [emoji41]


Beautiful car. Looks perfect from the factory. I'm sure there will be plenty of mods to come but the comp pkg does look sexy


4 door... New family car, eh?
Yeah, I'm a sedan guy myself, and the wife insisted some sort of "automatic" so she could drive it. One drive of the DCT with the car in M mode and holy crap, I'm hooked.... Y'all can keep your clutch pedals, this thing is just too much stinking fun!


That's the point of the M :)


:drool :drool :drool :drool

Looks absolutely stunning Jon!!! Enjoy her :thumbsup


Oh man, what a beauty! Very cool Joop!

Congrats Jon. Glad you finally found "it". Let the Mrs. behind the wheel yet??
No she hasn't even been in it yet. We were going to take a family outing to run some errands, but time ran out and we had to feed the kids instead...


Congrats, Joop ! In for pics. Gary has an interesting story about the first time his wife drove the M.


Nice!


So when's the SC install? Lol
Hah! No SC for this car... I've got a mod list currently, but very few performance parts. I don't need power so much as I just want a good sound... Project thread coming soon.

[Vas]

I enjoyed the dct and the fast shifts. However for me a third pedal brings another aspect of driving a car.

Enjoy the m3. 👍

Finally, a hand wash after about 6 months of not being able to touch it due to these ridiculous temperatures we had this winter. I forgot what my car actually looks like.

It was nice enough where I even did the door jambs, took a Swiffer to everything, and vacuumed out the whole interior and scrubbed the rubber floor mats. Felt so good to finally do this after so long!

It was so dirty that it looked like this even though I just got back from rinsing the car down:

If I had to take a guess, the hasty parking job suggests that the car broke down and they had to leave it there. Perhaps they can't afford to fix it yet which would explain why it's still there.

behold, the beauty of M3 seats in a sedan (and fold-down rear seats :) )... this would not have been possible without the flip-forward feature of the coupe seats. these boxes are 82" long and weigh about 100lbs each!! i also fit a few other things in the rest of the trunk space. :) the boxes were about 1" from the back of the passenger seat, and the armrest was not interfered with. passenger headrest was removed to allow for passenger-side mirror visibility.

and... as always... excuse the dirt. :) it's still kinda winter here... still rocking the winter wheels too. 2-4" of snow forecast for sunday...ugh.

I respectfully disagree... I have an Imola Red ZHP and I don't see it that way... I don't get pulled over all the time while driving my Imola 330i


That myth has been debunked like 1000 times guys!
+1


For what it's worth, I tend to get pulled over much more when driving my ///M than I do when driving my Imola Red ZHP. Now, that doesn't mean I never get pulled over in my ZHP.... I do get pulled over but most of the time it's because of my window tint or tinted license plate covers (which I no longer use). 99% of the time when I get pulled over it's because that particular police officer want's to check out my car but legally they can't tell you that so they tell me my window tint is illegal. I go through this bull crap at least 6x/season every year so I no longer get worked up and excited when getting pulled over.... I pretty much know the drill.

Last year I got pulled over in my ZHP once and with the ///M 4x.... I wasn't speeding or driving erratically... just cruising and noticed the LEO making a U-turn after he went past me. I immediately knew he was coming after me and waited for him to get behind me before pulling over... yeah, I also run front license plates since this stupid New England state requires it... we'll see how many times I get pulled over this year... I look at it as an opportunity to meet another police officer friend so I'm okay with this :thumbsup At least I know both cars won't need Lo-Jack since they get watched so often by LEO's patrolling our streets ;)

Red has absolutely nothing to do with getting pulled over. Don't give them a reason to pull you over and you won't have this problem. Illegal window tints, license plate infractions, speeding, turning without signaling, etc. are all causes to get pulled over, not driving a red car.

Cops do their jobs; they don't pull red cars over for the fun of it.

My friend and I once found a completely dead, huge, oil soaked rat on the undertray of an E46 we were changing the oil on once. He threw it on the shop floor and it sat there for weeks as he pulled cars in and out of his shop to work on, directly under where a car would pull in. :rofl

I've got a local guy pending sale right now, but I'll let you know if it falls through. Its a 44" and requires some work to get it to fit on the OEM bars just right. Typically e46 owners use the 38" fairing, but I think its too small. The 38" also ends up looking flat on the car, this 44" is bowed out slighting in the middle and makes it look really good. I'm partial though. Its long enough that the edges wrap around the feet, which I also like the way that looks.

Been busy with with my kids and grand kids since the 1st of the month and only had my ZHP out for Coffee N Cars with my Son and his girlfriend. Today that changed, First, I took my ZHP out shopping, that's a 50 minute drive each way and mostly back roads. On the way back, my wife wanted me to follow a sign for new housing construction. We never found what we were looking for, :)and after about 40 minutes of driving down some fantastic back roads, this is where I stopped to get my location and what way was home. Not bad, was close to where I did my cemetery photo shoot a few yeas ago, witch made another 1/2 hour of great driving roads.

I love getting lost around hear. :thumbup

Do you happen to know what kind of blue lug nuts are on this car?

Yes, the extended open end lug nuts are Muteki's, studs are Bimmerworld's standard kit, not the bullet nose. Look up my son's project thread under Brettj2a to see hi-res pics of his VMRs with those same lug nuts, they are stunning in person. The calipers are painted with Ford engine blue, it was 5-6 light coats with an hour of drying in between, they came out great and almost match the Roundel blue. Brett & I will be selling this car later this summer when he goes off to college - he can't have a car during freshman year and doesn't want to take a nice car to college for the remaining 3 years and see it get beat up in parking lots. Our decision over the coming months will be whether to sell it modded or return it to stock, Daniel is already laying claim to various pieces if it goes back to stock.

One picture from a few I took this weekend. Devlin came down so we could do brakes on his ZHP... I made him drive one of these to lunch so we could take a few minutes and do some pics. Finally, some decent shots NOT in the driveway! :thumbsup

You MADE him? I bet you didn't have to try too hard! Not many people would say no to driving one of those!

Poor choice of words... I asked him if he would drive one... We actually went to lunch as well, and we switched on the way back, so he could compare the two. He admitted that he was a fan of the DCT.

Thanks for the info, if I can ever move my ZHP and get into an i3, these would look good with the cars frozen blue accents. There is a wrapped black i3 with some aftermarket black wheels and blue lugs, I bet they are the same, or similar.

There are a bunch in Portland, but I don't think Portland is indicative of the larger US car market.

Why do you want an i3?

[Imola.ZHP]

Why do you want an i3?

Difficult to describe, have you tried one out yet? I did the i3 drive event plus took one home for a few days. 0-30 happens pretty quick, I rarely need to go any faster than that.

Well, after about 4 days of detailing on the X5... I get this. Yes, this is the first time it has sat in the driveway since I started working on it. The list of work completed includes:

Wash
Clay bar
Compound/polish a few small areas
Wax
Compound rear window (didn't get to the windshield yet)
Debadge... Which meant compound/polish/wax area to clean it up
Interior vacuum
Clean/protect down all interior panels
Leatherique treatment ALL leather (seats, door panels, center console pieces)
Clean windows inside/out

Skipped the wheels due to their poor finish. I'm going to get them refinished when I get new tires (later this year most likely).

I never have, but I've seen them and sat in them. I expect a hell of a lot more car for the price they ask for them. The only way I would get one is if I worked for BMW, I heard they get them for something crazy like $50/month.

Me too, I have already asked him to bring her back. Joking, but not really, but kinda, ugh.

Wow Marcus, you've had the car a long time... I'm sure its tough to let go. I honestly don't want to see my old ZHP for just that reason. I'd love to drive it again, but I know I'd want it back... You just need to get into the i3 so you have something new and fun to enjoy!

Agree and disagree, price was a problem I had/have with them too, I'm trying to get a left-over 2014 and trying to get $13000 off MSRP. I'm going to lease it for 2 years and at the end of the lease attempt to negotiate a lower pay off. Residuals are a gamble and on a vehicle with up to a $7500 tax incentive even more difficult to guess, some qualify, others do not, some states have even more incentive, others do not. So if my pay off is theoretically $30k, and cars like it are only selling for $25k then I will attempt to get another $5k off at that point. Hoping, in the end, to have purchased a $56,050 car for $38,050 excluding interest, tax and etc. of course. Yes, BMW employee's get a great deal on any BMW. I don't see how they could get them for $50/month but anything is possible I guess.

Yup, we made it nearly 9 years together, not quite 100k together. I agree with you, some friends and family have suggested I FB friend the guy that bought her and although he really was a nice guy, I just don't want to see her anymore. He had driven down to Pensacola last weekend to look at an Imola Red ZHP, he said everything on it was "crispy" that it had been outside all of its life. My car, on the other hand was basically never outside. As we were signing the paperwork in my kitchen his brother was trying to reassure me that he would take care of the car and I said "Oh man, I forgot to ask, do you have a garage?" they both kind of chuckled but he said no to which I responded "I'm going to pretend you said yes to that question as I sign this bill of sale." lol

[theothersawyer]

I don't know remember the actual number, but I heard that BMW employees get an insane least deal on the i3
