Hey guys,
I'm Robson, from Nigeria. I have this metallic graphite, black cube 2005 ZHP 330Ci AT that's given me so much joy to drive. I basically found it online, at a Sacramento dealer's website in February 2016, paid for it and had it shipped to me in Nigeria (beauty of the internet!). I had an E90 330i 6MT (lovely, lovely car) for a short while and sold it afterwards because parts were not so easy to come by at a time and I didn't want to have a good car die off on me. Decided to try the E46. An M3 would've been unrealistic here because of unavailability of service experts, so it had to be a ZHP!I wanted 6MT ZHP but couldn't find one at the time (still going to get one as soon as things sort themselves out). This car is amazing on road trips! A beauty to drive, just like the E90 was.
I got it at 105k miles actually, its about 118k now and I am in the middle of a cooling system refresh. I haven't gotten it right yet, had a bit of overheating but I'm quite busy now and will look at it next month.
I hope to enjoy my stay here and learn a lot as well as share what little knowledge I have on the car...
On the side I will be building an E30 with an M10/M40 for track soon - commencing next month hopefully.
I don't have a good camera, most of my pictures are high way and I'm not any good at taking pictures, but here goes:
