Official BMW 330 ZHP Sighting Thread

[Will]

I don't believe BMW ever offered chromed wheels from factory. They were always a dealer addition where once the car was received they would send the wheels out to get chromed (or swapped with a wheel shop for a chromed set), and then appropriated up-charged / dealer markup.

That AW in Miramar looks fantastic. Super clean, too.

[das boots]

So far no response from the owner. Or probably he did not notice the note I left and just drove away. Note fluttering away.

If not, hopefully I catch him again next time. Timing is everything. Unless someone has access to address and phone by way of license plate.

Silver Gray Metallic convertible on Macadam around 2:40 PM.

Saw a Doppelgänger of my ZHP today. What are the odds of seeing a silver-gray convertible ZHP wearing its hardtop and being sighted only 45 minutes from my home? It happened so quickly I did not take a picture as I was looking at all the identifiers as it passed by me turning through a stoplight on NC 15-501 in Aberdeen - Southern Pines, North Carolina.

Just saw a Imola Red Sedan this a.m. ZHP has a roof rack with a surf board. Sorry no pics.

I was on my bi-monthly run on my E30 M3.

He was heading eastbound 56. We were intersection. I was in the stop light in El Camino Real waiting for transition to eastbound 56.

We did wave with each other.

[BADCLOWN]

Need some pics of that alpine white e30 M3!

[ItsRichieRich]

I believe I saw a Imola sedan get off on El Norte Parkway in Escondido, CA this morning. I don't believe it's the other Imola sedan that works down the street from me since it didn't have a roof rack.

Forgot to post back when I saw it, but I believe it was a Mystic Blue sedan with a black roof? Getting onto highway 880 from 237 heading towards Fremont around 8:20 AM on a weekday last week. Definitely a member here as there was a ZHPMafia sticker on the back left window.

Not a ZHP sighting, but something better. I had another silver E46 park next to me. It had an M328i emblem on the back and M vents on the side. It was rad.

Spotted outside the building I’m working at in San Antonio. No clue who drives it though. I’m only here for a month and I’m driving a rental G20 330i. I really love the keyless entry and exit and wish I could get that on my ZHP.

[fredo]

Car looks good. I don't think we have any active members in San Antonio.

[rix617]

I ended up running into the owner as he was walking out and I was walking in. He’s the second owner, had it since 09. He loves the car but I don’t think he is familiar with the ZHP uniqueness

[pedro2u]

I told this story privately to Fredo (and should have posted it here), so Fredo sent me some awesome business cards so I could be better prepared! Thanks Fredo!

And the sighting I told Fredo about.....:

Funny story, I was getting gas at Costco a few weeks ago in my M3 and the car at the pump across from me was a ZHP! The senior citizen shouted "nice M3!" and I said "beautiful ZHP!"

He said "What???" He had know idea what a ZHP was or that he owned one! I went easy on him and told him I had sold mine and what a special car he was driving, too funny...he was the original owner! Just a 330ci to him

[johnrando]

Classic, lol. Happend a couple times to me, the owner not knowing what they had.

I have no clue as to where to put this! So it is going here.

Finally have the Technoviolet 330Ci ZHP accounted for, and there is no good news. So look away if you don't want tears down your eyes! You have been warned.
Although the content is hidden due to it being a private group the link is here for anyone wanting to give the OP a look.
Took the images directly from them! It seems as if it was just rotting away before heading to pickapart.
Hopefully I did this right! Shame to see it end up like that.
