Out of the ZHP, but still a Mafioso.

[onepercent]

Well guys, I thought I'd be going another 100,000 miles in the ZHP, but I had the opportunity to get into my dream car- an E46 M3- and I pulled the trigger yesterday. 2004 M3 Convertible, 6MT, silver gray, gray interior, 19" wheels, modest tint. 86K miles.

My former car, a 2004 330ci ZHP 6MT, was my first Bimmer and it totally turned me on to the front-engine, RWD awesomeness that defines the brand. The ZHP will always hold a special place in my heart. Indeed, much of the reason I love the M3 is that it is so similar to the ZHP. I wouldn't like it if it weren't.

Very nice vert :thumbsup You will enjoy driving the ///M. If you have any maintenance questions regarding your new ride feel free to ask. I've had mine for over three years now and have done lots regarding maintenance/mods...;) You should bring the ///M down to the reunion meet in May. I will be there with other ///M owners this year :thumbsup

Congrats on the new M car.

awesome! I love tiag M3's! What made you get a vert?

edit: and verts are fun. I started out driving her with the top down all the time and loved it, but even lately in the cold weather I still love it. It doesnt even feel like a vert with the top up. No rattles, and top notch BMW quality headlining. Only thing I CAN feel is the extra 300 lbs!

Thanks, everyone!

@BRGCoopahS, I went with the convertible as I realized that my primary use of the car will be as a weekend / nice day/ fun car, much more so than the track. (see the evolution of the ridiculously titled "M3 vs M3 vs M6 vs 911 vs GT500" thread in the off topic car talk forum) While it would be really fun to get to the track, I just don't see myself doing it enough to really want a specialized track car. And if I did, an M3 might not be exactly what I'd want anyway. But cruising backroads with the top down on a nice day- yep- that's what I'm picturing.

@Charlie, thanks for the offer, I'm sure I'll be hitting you up for advice on occasion. I've always thought your M3 looks fantastic.
