Hello,
I just stumbled across this site while shopping for a three-pedal ZHP sedan.
Hard to believe I've been searching for a few weeks and just found you guys tonight!
Not sure what I typed differently into google, but I finally found you guys!

Sold my '06 GTO last week and so now I'm shopping for what will be my 5th BMW.
I have owned a '81 320is, a '87 535is, a '88 M3 and a '95 M3.
But I have two young boys, 3 and 6, and really need 4 doors again...

I remember having a student at one of our driving schools a few years ago who had a ZHP sedan, and thinking it felt quicker than my e36 M3. And since they didn't make an e46 M3 sedan, and the e90 is still a little too dear, the ZHP seems like the sweet spot in terms of bang for your buck in the used BMW market.

If anyone knows of a decent car for sale in SoCal, let me know.
A sedan with manual transmission is my only real requirement.
Would love to find a no-sunroof car with alcantara interior, but I'm not going to get too greedy. ;-)
I don't really need a low-mile garage queen. This car will likely see some autocross, so no point in putting a bunch of cone marks and rock chips on a perfect car.

Thanks!

Ha!
The current collection is a 2011 Toyota Sienna minivan a FJA go-kart (for my 6-year-old) and a 1985 Mondiale Formula Ford.
All those BMWs are in my past...

Gotcha, read that completely wrong.

FJA karts are legit, I wish I could of started that young, they (the kids) always have a blast

Thanks to all for the warm welcome.


I wish I still had all of those cars... plus the '79 911, the '65 Lotus Elan and the '05 Elise. :-)

M0nk3y, where do you Solo2? I've been running with CalClub for 25 years.

I run in Ohio -> Toledo, Columbus, Cleveland, Dayton and Cincinnati.

I've only been in it for 2.5 years though

Thanks webster!
Yeah, I'm very tempted anyway!
Still not a bad deal even if it costs $1k to get it here...
