Hi Everyone-

First time I have joined ANY forum.

Have been eyeing ZHP sedans for sometime now; really want the 4 doors due to my two youngsters. Owned a Mercedes W201 (190E) about 6 years ago and loved the road response. Graduated to a Lexus (for reliability) but was never have been happy with the way it drove.

Test drove my first ZHP today; so you can say I have entered active search mode...wish me luck!

Welcome to the Family. Glad you settled on a ZHP.

It will require a little more wrenching than the Lexus, but the driving experience is night and day- and well worth it.

Good luck with your search.

Welcome to the site.

I joined my first BMW forum about 10.5 years ago. I'll just say this: ZHPMafia.com is the friendliest forum I've ever been on. You picked a good forum to join.

Glad to have you.

Welcome, and happy hunting. It's true -- these cars require vigilant attention and maintenance, but they are well worth the extra time and trouble (and money) you'll spend on them. Or so I say after 69k and plenty of time and hard work spent making sure my ride stays in top-notch shape.

Picked up my 03 ZHP sedan yesterday; TiAg, 72k miles, 6MT, black leather, xenon, nav. It is awesome!

Thanks for all of your well wishes!

Thanks to Marcus and pleasecorrupt for advice on mileage/price point!

And lastly thanks to the last owner who kept the car as clean as a 8 year old car could be!!

Congratz on the car. You will definitely enjoy it. The BMW is very easy to work on. My Toyota is harder by comparison (4-Runner). I'm in San Ramon, about 10-15 minutes east of you at the 580/680 interchange.

Welcome to the 'family'.

Welcome!

I previously had a w124, and the zhp is more fun in all aspects except ride quality if you are looking for it. haha.
