Checking in from Montreal

[JASMI88]

Hi Guys. Glad to join this group. After checking the registry, it seems I have a one of the kind 2005 BMW330 Convertible Sparkling Graphite and a ZHP with that. Previous rides were 1997 318ci vert, 2000 323ci vert.
As you can see I love the open air drive experience. Go ZHPMafia.

Bienvenue! Sounds like a nice ride you have there. Pics?

[pyreguy]

Welcome! I am looking forward to seeing pics of your beautiful car.

[JASMI88]

Hi Guys: Thanx for the warm welcome.
Believe it or not this is the only pic I have. I intend on shooting a few more after I get a small bumper repair. I got this baby as CPO and I still got til August to bug the dealer for any problems. It drives like charm & so far the dealer has been good with me.

With the help of a wind deflector, heated seats & a strong heater I've been prolonging the open air feeling til mid November. Yes I do get some strange looks, but then who cares.
My philosophy is with a convertible: the roof stays down unless it rains or snow.

Welcome to the family Jas. By the way, mine is also convertible 2006 ZHP in Edmonton.

I like that attitude!

I say you garage in the winter time.

[DESANT]

^ That's what I did, 50" of snow in the past two days.

[JASMI88]

What color is that? Can't make it out in the shade like that. It looks similar.

Only at night. This is the 3rd winter with this car and I love it. It drives like a tank when equipped with good winter tires (Marangioni 17"). I used to place a couple of sand bags for extra traction, but this year I got lazy and skipped the bags... and still drives great, It must be that 50/50 weight distribution of these beautiful cars. However, we haven't received 50" of snow like Edmonton, that might change my mind any day.
220 lol.:fistpump

Jet black.

[JASMI88]

Nice, but a bummer to keep clean. My previous ride was a black 323ci. Can't wash it often enough.

[DESANT]

True, all my cars were black so I am used to wash them 1 to 2 times a week.
