Found this list via an article in Roundel. I am the proud owner (from new) of an '04 silver gray 330i. When BMW announced then late in 2002, I was convinced they had built it with me in mind. I traded a nice '02 325i (that I had also special ordered through the dealer in Salem, OR) for the ZHP and intend to keep it forever.

Although I am keeping it as stock as possible, I have purchased a couple sets of wheels (17" BBS RKs and 18" RGRs) and like how they work and look better than the stock type 135s. I've also put on clears on the front and the side markers as well as shadowline model badge

Biggest problem with the car is that it's been my daily driver and I've damaged a couple of the stock wheels and occasionally run the front end into curbs. And I had some jerk key the driver's side some years ago. That side was repainted by a local craftsman but it's just not the same, eh.

Cheers!

Welcome to the site.

You got the wheels right! BBS rock. I've always said, I'd kill for a set of 17" BBS RK

:hi Welcome Lou!

I worry about the parking stops and curbs - makes me glad I don't have: 1) m-tech II bumper; 2) lowered suspension; 3) anything other than an Xi (4x4 mode FTW).

That said, I would love a ZHP sedan. Maybe someday.

Nice choice in wheels. They (Wurth?) make some kits to take care of the curb rash.

Looking forward to pics if you have any to share!

Welcome! You obviously have good taste in magazines, though questionable taste in columnists:eeps:roundel:biggrin.

Lou, ignore that man above me. He's the author of that Roundel column. He's just too humble.

Hope you'll become a regular here.
