Hello. I just found out about this forum from e46fanatics.com. I bought my CPO '06 330CIC ZHP w/cold weather package in May 09. It's my dream BMW (outside of a Z8 or M3 convertible, both of which would be impractical with the wife and kids) and I'm happy to be on this site. Love the car. Formerly had (among other makes) a '94 540i. Currently in my garage beyond the wife's car is a '80 Triumph TR8, so I'm a member of the TR8 Car Club of America. Looking forward to it! John

John, welcome to the site. Please make yourself comfortable and feel free to jump in.

We only have, I believe, one other vert owner on the site.

Never thought I would say this, but the chrome wheels actually look nice on black.

Welcome!

Welcome!

Are they chrome or a machined finish? I can't tell...

Thanks for the welcomes, and the comments on the car.. it makes me smile every day! As I said earlier, very glad to be here. WRT the wheels, I THINK they are chrome. Also to the comment of only one other ZHP Vert in the Mafia, I am a little surprised. Any way to get a idea of how many of those were made? John

John, it's tough enough for us to figure out how many people opted for the ZHP package. But I imagine the number of verts is low. Just a guess, though.

Well as the other vert owner welcome.

I wouldn't be surprised if vert ZHP numbers are low. Vert ZHP's were probably the most expensive non-M series available at the time...
Prices must have been in the mid to high 50's for one with options...

For that, you could have just gotten a base E46 M3 vert.


Dunno what actual prices are, but I know that nowadays, you can easily add 15-20k in options on a new Bimmer. Ridiculous.

Crazy, huh? That's why I had to wait 3 years to buy this one, couldn't afford it new, but well worth the wait. As for the wheels, verified they are chrome.

Welcome to the site, I also have a vert so with Jon D I think that makes three of us. Those wheels are very slick BTW.
