I have been sniffing around for a ZHP for a few months, but I have yet to come across one that fits what I am looking for (see WTB section).
BMW's have been in my family for awhile, however I have not personally owned one myself yet. My bro has a Deep blue 1976 2002, and my dad has a White 81 320i. My uncle got us started on german ultimate driving machine, with his Silver 1993 850Ci Automatic that he lent me to take on a date with my now-wife. That has some torque!

I am in the Tulsa, Oklahoma area and have owned a variety of cars with the most recent being 1999 C5 Corvette, which I just sold (it was an Automatic :( ).

Pleased to be apart of the ZHP community. More to come...

Welcome. Good luck with your search. I can't say I've driven the C5 in an auto. 4spd ftl. It's supposed to be a half second difference to 60 or something crazy like that.

Welcome!

I was born in Woodward, OK and lived in Ponca City, OK most of my childhood. Then ended up in Memphis after a brief period in Kentucky, been stuck here for 8 years and counting, but still have most of my family back in Oklahoma. I pass through Tulsa every time I go "home." Tell them to hurry up and get done with all of that road construction already! lol

Good luck hunting for ZHP's, the right one will be worth waiting (and possibly traveling) for!

Nice cars. Really like GTRs. BTW, did you guys get a parking ticket? You parked in the "Porsche only" parking. :)

good observation. pre-GTR was a 1989 Porsche 930 slant nose whale tail in that parking space... which had a 996 twin turbo engine and NOS at one time. I don't know if i have pictures of that little bad boy..

Nice! What are the odds? Lol. I've only seen 1 other nassau blue before. Digging the borla exhaust. An exhaust and sound deadening are next on my hit list. Lowering the car tomorrow...

Well, just bought my ZHP!
She's a Silver Grey 03 Sedan 6MT Alcantara Interior, black cube trim, with the only change-ups being 197 style wheels (still have the 135's), and 3.46 diff.
Just turned 100K and is very clean! Let the fun begin....

sweet cars, especially the new addition. I assume the 02 was a square tail?

Also, what is that engine on the table... I don't recognize that 4 cylinder (?) setup

Congrats on the new acquisition. Regarding your question, there are several. you'll likely hear from at least Ryan323 (female) who's done more personally to her car including painting it than most guys on here would ever attempt and K-Pro ( Kristen) who has more diagnostics skills than most of wish we had, also she has racing skills thAt will make you envious. Others are drivers of ZHPs (my wife), but she loves it as much as anyone else.

Also MsRN who checks in once in a blue moon (supercharged zhp), and then there was one other that I forget at the moment.

I'll have to confirm with you on the square tail - I would be guessing if i told you. I hardly see the car as it is in AZ.
Regarding engine on the table - again - possibly a motorcycle engine but again this was an older pic and I don't know what it is... you have a great eye.

Congrats on the car, and welcome! Have you been on the Hallett track yet? The BMW club does an annual event there, usually around September.

I'm not sure when I'll be going home next. It might not be until Turkey Day. I usually go once in the summer but I'm graduating from college (finally) this year and going on a trip to Florida...

I'm running VMR V710's hyper silver, 19".
