Official BMW 330 ZHP Sighting Thread

[stephenkirsh]

Alpine white sedan on Oak Gnoll in Napa with 18" ARC-8s. Looked good. Flashes my lights to say hi.

[ELCID86]

Mystic sedan with M-badge (:facepalm) honked as he passed me getting off I-395 onto King St. in Alexandria/Falls Church.

[LTCMontana]

Yep...That was me. Yes I am embarrassed about the wheels. They were cheap winters wheels.

[LTCMontana]

Oh, and the M badge was there when I bought it. Haven't bothered to change it. Didn't realize it wasn't a true ZHP badge until last year. Former owner said it was on there when he bought the car fro BMW of San Fran.

What were you doing in Concord? In town for the races?

Yeah, and my dad went to the PGA event. Plus, my wife's mom lives in Mint Hill so I'm in town fairly often.

Nice. Between where I live, my girlfriend lives, and where my parents live you were all over my stomping grounds then.

[ClimRox]

I always enjoy visiting. Hope to make it back in June sometime.

[johnrando]

Saw this silver vert in Hermosa Beach, never seen it before. Spoke to the two ladies in the car and they said they were local. William, have you? Anyway, told them about the mafia and they said they were into BMW's so hopefully they will check in. Will add pic later as TT is very slow adding pics for some reason.

Just saw a clean silver gray ZHP in Folsom. Guy driving opposite side of the road threw a thumbs up as I threw him a peace sign lol. Was slightly embarrassed by the rain dirt on my car (rained last week) but excited to have an enthusiast say hello.

Also had another m pull up beside me with a csl trunk lip attachment (looked terrible) and only one tip per opening which looked equally bad and sounded bad. Disappointed in an otherwise clean looking car from the front. Was going to say hello but decided against it.

[ELCID86]

So where do you live/work? I work right there at Skyline/Bailey's Crossroads? (your location says MT...?)

Saw an imola vert at Wrightsville Beach, NC today. One of the cleanest cars I've ever seen. Definitely a spring/fall car with low miles. I beeps my horn and gave him a thumbs up... He looked confused :( I was turning right and he was going left so I that was the end of it.

[daytona90t]

I am not sure if it is anyone on here, but I saw this Steel Gray Metallic coup yesterday in the parking lot of the Lowe's in Woburn Massachusetts. I was the Silver Gray Metallic sedan with the roof rack parked on the opposite side of the row 2 cars down. I had never seen a ZHP in that color. Same color as my now traded in 03 330i sport, purple in the sun, gray in the shade.

I silver coupe moved in right down the street from William... Will have to put up a pic.

[ecrabb]

Not sure if it's another member, but over the weekend I followed a nice clean Silbergrau Metallic coupe right into my little suburb in UT. Stalked him right to his driveway because it was basically on the way home. I didn't stop because I thought that would be a little too weird. ;) He only lives about a mile-and-a-half from my house.

[fredo]

Interesting. Too bad you are not driving the ZHP yet.

[ecrabb]

Yes. Yes it is. It's driving me insane. In two days, it'll be two weeks since I officially owned the car. Crossing my fingers it's here by the weekend.

[elsanto]

I thought I'd get caught up with my sightings since it's been a while, and I had an Alpine on Alpine sighting!

Was in Scotch Plains NJ a few days ago and passed a fellow Alpine white ZHP. This was a coupe, mine is a sedan.

Also Parked next to this sweet ride last October,

And Saw a black (I believe) ZHP in Summit NJ at the fathers day car show last year, Mentioned to the driver, "Nice Car" as he left

I saw a Silver Grey sedan twice today. The first time I was driving north on Mopac at 4:30 PM. The second time was 30 min later, I was on south Mopac. Yes, very same car.

The driver was a man in his late 40s. His ZHP seemed to be totally stock, in good shape.

I saw a blue sedan yesterday (not sure what it's called, but looked darker than mystic) in a driveway with the windows down. And I stuck one of the business cards for the mafia in the driver seat. It was the most neglected ZHP I have ever seen. Paint peeling off hood roof and trunk.
Spotted same blue coupe on the way to work today. Beeped my horn and waved; got that all-too-familiar confused look. :smh

Saw this while out to lunch at a restaurant that sits next to a local Buckhead (Atlanta) indy shop. It looks either abandoned or someone brought it in for a wash?

[BMWCurves]

My guess is they made the mistake of parking it under a pollen-heavy tree for a day or two. I've had something like that happen to me (although not to that extent) in a matter of hours because I chose the wrong tree to park under.

I know the feeling. The PO of my ZHP did this. There are stains of bird doo-doo and tree sap splatters that are very evident. And there were dried leaves deep inside the gaps by the hood hinges. Yuk!

[oclvframe]

Not sure what all was going on with it....it's a shame though....I was tempted to go in to the shop and find out what the story is on it!

I spent one week in San Diego CA and spotted only one ZHP: silver sedan on highway 5. It was Aug 04 morning. Very few e46 around, actually.

Next time for sure. I didnt know we have Family members in SD.

Saw a white ZHP sedan somewhere in O'ahu last week. I snapped a pic at the gas station, but can't upload it from my phone.

[blindside]

Alright, I saw two ZHPs just this past Thursday (the 18th):

The first one was gray. I saw you about 6:49 a.m. coming out of the Baltimore Harbor Tunnel headed southbound.

The second one was also gray. I saw you maybe like 7:15-7:25 a.m. in the drive-thru for the Dunkin' Donuts across the former Mapes Gate entrance at Fort Meade. I think you nodded at me.

Just scanning through these sightings and I think the second zhp was me. I stop there regularly @ that time and I always acknowledge another zhp.. Always

[BCS_ZHP]

So GiGi asks me this morning who worked on our son's car when it was at the dealer back in April, I ask why but don't recall the tech's name. She says a girl came up to her in her work parking lot yesterday, commented on her X5 and said her boyfriend is a tech at Fairfax BMW if she ever needs something done. My wife tells the girl her husband and sons do most of the maintenance themselves, that we've had over a dozen BMWs but we've just reduced the fleet from four BMWs to one recently, then asks what this girl drives, she's driving her BF's car, a 330i she says. My wife checks it out, says its in nice shape, it has the M-Tech II bumper, has the 135 wheels, has cubed trim and alcantara steering wheel. GiGi says this poor girl didn't even know she was driving a ZHP, so my wife tells her about the Mafia and recommends she have her BF check it out. Her description of us (trying to remember this as best I can), "my husband belongs to a cult that's crazy about these ZHPs, they're nice guys I've met some of them when they came to our house to work on cars, they help each other out on their little forum all the time".

Went to the BMWCCA HPDE No Excuses 8 at Hallett Racing Circuit in Oklahoma. My wife was driving our 2004 ZHP and we found 5 more! All told, there were 5 Imola red cars (4 sedans and a coupe) and 1 white coupe. We had to line the red ones up for a photo op. Not something you see everyday. Enjoy......

[theothersawyer]

Love the line of Imola's!

Saw this on my way to school. I was in the Miata otherwise I'da waved!

Silver Gray coupe on Peachtree Parkway yesterday around 4:15. I was going north it was making a left in the southbound land. Tried to wave but I was having to pay attention to the ubiquitous Nissan Leaf in front of me that was moving about 15 mph below the flow of traffic at rush hour.

Silver Gray sedan on black leather. Manual transmission with the Cold Weather Package. Spotted in my gym's garage. Looked to be in pretty good shape.

Man, these things are everywhere! I saw a silver sedan leaving the commuter lot in Stafford, VA this morning about 0650.

That's what I thought originally, it just seemed a little darker than mystic. Must be the overcast light.

Yes, I know, this post is worthless without pics. :)

While the 135's were ONLY on ZHPs in the USA, BMW used them on several cars in other markets. It was a common wheel on the E85/E86 Z4, for instance.

[stephenkirsh]

I know. I saw them. They were also common on the e60 there. Square set up. Look back in this thread to about August 2014 for when I added photos :)

But the image is of an e46.

Saw a TiAg sedan crossing Ray and Lynn this evening

[BMWCurves]

I spotted three ZHPs in the same parking structure at my gym today. One was my father's 2006 330Ci TiAg coupe. Another was an Imola on Black leather sedan with a Steptronic transmission. I parked next to it (end spot, ftw). The third was a Silver Gray sedan on Black leather with a manual transmission. I didn't have anything to write on when I came in, but when I left the gym I had written two notes complimenting them on their cars and they should take a look at the Mafia. Sadly, the Imola sedan had left, but I left a note on the Silver Gray sedan. As I was leaving the lot I spotted the driver and recognized him as an older gentleman (mid to late 50s probably) that I had seen in the gym who was deadlifting 295 lbs. It was cool that there were four ZHPs in a single lot (including mine), plus the Alpine White sedan I see parked outside the lot frequently, with a potential sixth Sparkling Graphite coupe that I see parked at my gym every so often.

It's like the The Baader-Meinhof Phenomenon, once you notice them, they seem to be everywhere.

I really need to have some ZHPMafia "business" cards in my car to stick under the windshield wipers of ZHPs I see around town instead of scrambling for a pen and paper.

Hmmm, great point and observation, though I had never referred to it as such. I know a little bit about the Red Army Faction and find it weird to attribute such an innocuous colloquialism to a bunch of savages. But I digress...

Pulled into a car wash today with my 03 and was behind an 05 ZHP Sedan, in black. Had a nice chat with the owner.

[Just_George]

Saw my first ZHP "in the wild" - not many around these parts. Imola sedan, black grills in White Lake, MI. Had my brother with me in the truck, so I couldn't stop for a pic or to investigate. Really nice looking car!

Scoped what seemed to be a Play Mystic blue for me sedan heading southbound on Carroll Rd just past 56th St. east side Indy about 7:20 AM this morning.

[daytona90t]

ZHPs do seem to be everywhere all of a sudden! I saw an Imola sedan and a grey coupe on my way to work this morning, and it is only a 4 mile drive.
When I purchased mine 2 years ago I don't recall seeing many around in my area. Although, I do believe that there is another silver grey metallic sedan fairly close to my neighborhood, but the guy must keep it inside most of the time because I do not see it often.

You've got some good early morning eye vision so that was I my friend. Was that you in the Silver E90M by chance or were you in the 1M?

[1 M Mike]

Actually I was in my daily driver which is a MK V Pearl blue VW R32 on my way to my workplace in Lawrence. Only could catch just a fleeting glance of you in the past, and today was the first time I saw you head on and was sure it was a ZHP. I'll be sure to headlight flash you the next time our paths cross. :)

[ikeupinya]

Oh cool I pass by your R32 from time to time in the a.m, thinking man that's a rare car I see around Indy...I bring the wifey to her Defense Finance Ctr work almost everyday so likewise, Ill flick the highs at you passing by. :thumbup

[1 M Mike]

Too funny. :rofl That is also where my wife and I both are employed as well.

:idea

Since it's a major PITA trying to get decent parking now since the major tear up of the parking lots, how about you swing by New Pal and shuttle my wife and me to the center as well. Would love being chauffeured to work each morning in the back of a ZHP. I'll spring for the gas and whatever the local going rate is for taxi's or uber services.

I think this would be unanimously :waldo .
