Hi,

I'm four and a half years into my 330 cic ZHP ownership and I'm still loving my car. It's my third BMW - the first was a 323i sedan, the second an 05 Z4 3.0.

This one's the best.

I have four Michelin Pilot sports in the garage, ready to go on as replacements for the OEM Pilots next week - now showing their age after 32k miles.

I'm also starting on long-term, old school service now that the warranty has expired (there's still a CPO on the car, I bought it with 2000 miles on the clock in Dec of 06.)

Great car, I'm very pleased there's now a community for it. A big thanks to the site owners!!1052

from my understanding, that means, 4 1/2 years of ownership and only 32k miles driven? how do you do it!?!

The first thing I thought when I saw the pic was "John has a new friend on the East Coast."

Welcome!

Looking forward to updates!

When you say long term old school service, are you using Mike Miller's Old School Maintenance Schedule or a hybrid of recommended maintenance intervals?

Hey guys,

Hi John! Looks like I have a bro - mine's monaco blue.

By "old-school", I mean what I know about 30k services after some 38 years of driving (:yikes: I just realized it's been that long), I'm sure I'm in relative alignment with Mr Miller.

I drive year-round, but i work at home - I write and produce music for television and film in my home studio - also, my wife and I have a "family car', an 08 Infiniti M35x.

Although, as Horny would tell you, they got a lot of love in Virginia this past weekend. We were drooling over an orient blue ZHP. Additionally, we were all hanging around an orient blue 328 all day on Sunday. :biggrin

I know, I know. Inconspicuous as it is, it's definitely a fun car to drive. Can't see myself ever living with orient day to day, though.
