New Mafia Member from San Diego

[EVSTAXI]

I met Marcus this week at our buddy Shane's shop, and he told me about the new site. I don't currently have a ZHP, actually I never have, but I love them. I did have a E46 2001 330ci though. I loved that car. Anyhow, hope to get to know peeps on here and talk cars, life, whatever... and maybe get out to some local meets to meet people in real life! I'm currently driving a 2006 e91 325xi Touring (Family wagon style)

Here is a pic of my old E46. From memory, I think the mods consisted of authentic hartge classics in 19, hartge front lip, M3 mirrors, M3 sideskirts, M3 lip spoiler, M3 steering wheel, H&R sport springs, Rogue IKON exhaust, Gruppe M intake, superchips software.

Looks like Beast Coast is checking in fairly well.

We've definitely got the east coast/west coast thing locked up. Excellent representation on both sides of the country.

San Diego, of course, is most highly represented. That's not surprising. Most of my recruiting is done right here.

Cameron, enjoy your stay here. As I told you a few days ago, this is not your average forum. The douche bags do not reside here. Just clean fun around here.

[kayger12]

I think you just coined the all-elusive motto we've been searching for, Mark--

ZHP MAFIA
no douche bags

Kind of rolls off the 'ol tongue, 'eh?

[Marcus-SanDiego]

Haha.

Here is the San Diego representation.

These are the current San Diego members (19): pswirley, evstaxi, 2m auto body, rich@2m, bmw doc, DDD, Gheybe, sup, marcus-sandiego, khoalty, mwscircle, triad drew, asenna, hasrice, Infamous, Jhiggy, ronin, sc4me, and ZSP-Mafia.

[ZSP-Mafia]

Why am I last ? :)

[Marcus-SanDiego]

Why am I last ? :)

That is where you fell in the alphabet. I knew some off top of head then I went through our member list. You came up last. But by being last, you actually get notice. Companies on the fringe stand out more than those that are buried. Very good for small lists. Hehe. Therefore, you got love from me, Jimmy.

[ZSP-Mafia]

Yeah! :)

[Smilez]

welcome to the family boss.

[DESANT]

[Marcus-SanDiego]

Cameron, so that's how it looks when you've washed it! Nice.

[jjcools]

Very nice wagon. I think that will be my next car, utility and style!

[bimmer848]

THAT WAGON IS TITS!!!! love those wheels too. what are they?

[EVSTAXI]

They are my rims on a budget! Linea Corse LC808. Didn't want to spend tons of money on rims this time. I had the MORR VS8 on the 335 and those puppies were nice. super light, forged, strong. The LC808 are nice, step lip, but def. replica style rims.

I'm running the M3 offset on the wagon. so they are 19x8.5 ET32 (i think) and 19x10 ET22 on the rears.

Rolled and pulled fenders?

no rolling or any fender mods. i was surprised. I have a very conservative drop with bilstein sports shocks matched to eibach pro kit springs.

running 235 in front and 265 in rear. rounded falken tires

[EVSTAXI]

as you can see I am a wagon guy. Here was my 2004 audi a4 avant 1.8t ultrasport. this had the REVO stage 2+ (CPU flash, larger injectors, FMIC, full exhaust, intake, etc.) I know its no bimmer, but man I really miss this car.

[danewilson77]

Ahhhh.....stretched a bit though.

[kayger12]

I can see why you miss it. Great looking wagon.

[danewilson77]

Damn...thats another nice one. Why always wagons? Did you just like the way the looked? I can see how they would grow on you....

One of my favorite E46 wagons right here.

Both are too high imho.

[az3579]

What's too high? I certainly hope you don't mean the E46 tourings you posted... they are just right.

[jjcools]

I am a big fan of wagons. I would love an S4 avant or they should make an M3 wagon. That would be hot.

I know my wagon obsession is for the utility of the racks and the back space. I was really into outdoor sports through college and still mountain bike and snowboard or surf occasionally so the racks are a must for me. I think the Zhp is the only car I have owned that does not have racks or a way to carry a bike. Most were suvs and wagons...

[EVSTAXI]

i guess we started getting wagons back when we had our first baby. love the utility, and also just the way they look. (not all station wagons, but the audi and bmw's are where its at). now that I have 3 kids (oldest is 5, youngest is 6 mo.) we actually bought a *cringe* mini-van. My wife, who used to drive my 325 wagon, said she would never drive a minivan, but I talked her into it based on the fact that they are made for people like us. It seriously makes our life so much easier. She loves it now. we ended up getting a 2011 Toyota Sienna SE (yes, the actual swagger wagon). I think it looks pretty good for a minivan. we got a black one and I'm thinking about powdercoating the rims black. stealthy minivan! haha.

Right there and agree with your wife. I hope I don't have to go the minivan route! No offense intended.

I was hoping I cutoff the minivan bug with the touring and the thule rack/car top carrier I got.

My wife is already thinking about an SUV with third row seating for her next car.

[pyreguy]

Welcome to the family! You 330 is clean, and I am LOVING all the pictures of these wagons! Definitely have a soft spot for them.
