Hi everybody. I bought my car last April after several months of searching. I have spent the last year bringing it up to spec on maintenance and am still as in love with driving it as on day one (well I love it more :biggrin ). I enjoy the atmosphere here and hope to keep enjoying it for some time! Here is a pic after its first wash last May with more to come when I get home.
2003 Imola 330i performance and cold weather, 6spd, grey leather
Price: $11,200
Mileage at purchase-88,000
Current Mileage-103,000
Maintenance/mod- New tires, cooling refresh, fuel filter, FCABs, belts/pulleys, e90 projector retrofit (to correct burnt ZKWs), koni yellows with new mounts and reinforcement all around, gearbox and diff fluids, besian seals and rattle kit, VCG, spark plugs, windshield cowl, RTABs this weekend, and I think thats it.

Eventually, everyone wants Imola. It's natural.

Even Joop will want one. Hell, I hear he's driving a vert now. :)

There's a reason it was the color used on all ZHP marketing materials. It's like a Valencia 1M... Perfect match.

You Imola guys are like a bunch of junkies!!! :biggrin

I have to agree after meeting Dennis and driving his car yesterday, Imola is pretty and Dennis' car is great looking. But his car is an exceptionally clean specimen...

Whoa there buddy! :biggrin The vert was a bit of temporary insanity while I was in the SoCal sunshine, thawing out from a couple months of Alaskan icebox misery..


Ahem! :foottap :)

Not to worry rando, we all know everyone eventually wants the TRUE perfect color... Alpine White!




And to the original poster, welcome to the forum. Your alpine white car is truly beautiful, now just go clean all the ketchup off it... :rofl No seriously, great looking car. :thumbsup

It's no coincidence the vehicles in the driveway are red and black. As a two time alumni I feel obligated to infuse large financial decisions with a bit of collegiate spirit.

Yes, the pollen is extreme right now. I was looking forward to the heavy rain and thunderstorm driving home yesterday to rinse my car off!

I'd rather have to deal with the pollen than the ice pellets, snow and freezing rain we're having today. Unfortunately there has been a nice fresh application of salt brine on the streets, which means my car is likely packed away for another few days or longer (I will need a good rain or two to wash the roads off).

hehe I went to Purdue and my last car was black and I was getting gold rims for it. So I know what you mean!
