Hey all,

Ran into another ZHP Mafia member in the parking garage today, and he kicked me to register... so here I am haha. I'm Alex, and I am a ZHP owner as of last Sunday.

A bit about the car:

2004 330i ZHP
Auto
Black with black interior trim, brown (Not sure of the option code) leather seats.
Cold weather package, HK sound, Xenon lamps
44k on the clock, got her at BMW San Diego for a hair under $18k.

This is my second BMW (first was an 02' 330Ci 5MT), and I gotta say I love these cars.

I don't have many mods planned for 'Elsa', likely just black kidneys, getting rid of the amber housings all around with the LED rears, and a few other small things like a front plate delete or euro plate, and BMW performance parts.

Anywho, glad to be here, I'll be sticking these forums under my favorites.

Welcome and congratulations on the purchase. I'd love to see pics of the two-tone interior.

Who was the mafia member that guided you here?

Welcome to the forum.

Man, that meet isn't too far from me. Don't think I'll be able to make it though... and I'll see what I can do about that interior shot.

As for who referred me, I think it was Gary? He was driving a red ZHP coupe, mentioned that he'd be moving onto an M3 soon.

Sounds like your old car boss, cause it wasn't me...

Interior shot as requested, from the day I bought her.

Doubt it was my old car. I don't think Scott is looking for an M3.

True, do we have a lurker w/Imola Ci in town?

EDIT: Actually forget this, Gary has a Hellrot Ci, slipped my mind. It was him
Marcus-SanDiego
10-12-2011, 03:28 PM
Could be. The only thing is that they have a ZHPMafia.com sticker? No idea who this could be.

Perhaps Alex can describe the guy.
Alex
10-12-2011, 03:55 PM
It was definitely hellrot, rather than imola.
Hermes
10-12-2011, 03:56 PM
or we can just get Gary to post and say if it was him or not

Gary, thanks for referring Alex to the site. You're a marketing machine.

Welcome to the Mafia, Alex. You're in the right area for the club activities. Those guys always have something cooking up out there.

welcome to the site alex.

this car looks remarkably simlar to one that was listed in the classified section a few weeks ago. also in san diego. let me dig it up.

found it: http://www.zhpmafia.com/forums/showthread.php?4656-For-Sale-2004-BMW-330i-ZHP-Sapphire-Black-Natural-Brown-Leather-Auto-54.5K-mi-18.5-San-Diego-CA

that's not it. I just PM'd with "pleasecorrupt"..he hasn't sold it yet, not really pushing the sale. If I lived in SD, I would probably pull the trigger, but don't want to incur travel and transportation costs with the holidays coming up. If you know of any mafia members in Denver that might be able to help with an inside track to find one here, please let me know. thx

Probably not the same one, Wes. Alex has 44K miles. The one in San Diego has 54K miles (and it's Nelson's car; he hasn't mentioned that it's sold yet).

Good eye, though. :like

ah, you're right. 54k v 44k...still pretty similar mileage for exact same exterior/interior/tranny combo

No K9 package... I wouldn't let fur/claws anywhere near that precious interior. I'm thinking of doing the cup holder delete in favor of a euro tray as well, not a fan of the drink-in-the-BMW package either.

I'm with you on that sentiment. She jumped in one day and wouldn't budge when I was, of course, late to the airport. Here's her usual seating arrangement, works pretty well:

Where'd you get that back seat cover? That'd be great...

Bavauto. Looks like a BMW part since it coincidentally matches the interior so well but it's aftermarket. BMW Accessories does sell something similar that's fitted to the specific interior but I've never seen it.

Oh, I promise, that seat is quite perfect. Really amazing how a bit of leather maintenance will prove its durability.
