Hello, Ive been looking around this site for the past few months and finally taking the time to sign up and get involved in this place. You fellas seem like a nice group of guys in here. Very genuine and friendly. Been a member on fanatics for quite a few years and Im not feeling the friendliness over there these days...So I got my zhp four months ago and have been loving it! Lots of things I want to do with this car and have already added/changed a few things. I searched for quite a few months before finding this car on autotrader out in Michigan. Its my ninth Bimmer in about that many years so Im definitely an enthusiast! Looking forward to being a part of the Mafia and Ill leave you with a few pics, first one is my old car (short story on this one) and second one is my new car.....

Reuben, welcome to ZHPMafia.com. Glad to have you. And we hear you about the friendliness elsewhere. The vocal minority has bullied its way into dominance at a few forums. No such situation here.

Nice cars.

Enjoy the site.

Welcome. Glad to have you over.

It seems I regularly guess the color wrong on intro pics, but that looks black to me. If so, I like to give an extra welcome to black ZHPs. We have a thread in the gallery section for black zhps, so feel free to post some pics there too (if I got the color right). :)

JR, I think you're doing well with this one.

The M3 looks like carbon black. The ZHP looks to be jet black.

JR, thanks so much for the "extra" welcoming for us black zhps. haha You are correct, the zhp is jet black. And sorry Marcus but the M3 is actually jet black as well. It does look like carbon black in the pic and I wish it was but its ok because I have my zhp now and Im happy with it. Thanks again for all the welcomings and as soon as I get my car washed again Ill be taking more pics to show it off. hahaha.....

Thanks for clarifying the carbon black color. Beauty regardless.

No problem and I agree, she was a beauty and I miss her but someday I want to get another one just like it.

Welcome Reuben, yeah you will like it here... Lots of great people on this forum :biggrin

Thanks for the welcome Charlie, no the M3 was sold to a very nice gentleman from Canada. Sad to see it go but it was all for a very good reason...

I'm glad to hear that your ///M was sold to a good home. Hopefully this gent will take very good care of her...:biggrin

As for the ZHP you will love it...:thumbsup

I won't lie... I feel very fortunate to have two of the nicest BMWs made. I enjoy both for their unique characteristics. The ///M for the rawness of power and the ZHP for the smoothness and refinement. I have no regrets driving the ZHP more than the ///M.

With the ///M I feel like I'm going to the prom...you know... the excitement and anticipation....then when I'm driving it, the fun factor gets multiplied to the infinite factor...:roundel When I'm ready to come back to earth....well, that's where my ZHP comes in...:biggrin

You will Reuben :thumbsup

Like I said, the ZHP is an awesome bimmer in it's own right :thumbsup You have a fine example...and your wheels are sharp!

I'm glad I get to drive mine daily :biggrin
