Hey, I just recently bought a 2005 BMW 330CI ZHP. It was a tough decision between it and a 2006 STi (completely different cars, I know). Any who, I was just saying hello and I hope I can get some good advice out of you all.

Haha, yes, I'm from Memphis.

And yea, the STi interior had horrible blue interior. And I read tons of reviews complaining about cabin noise at high speeds.

And here are some pictures of the interior.

These are the dealer pictures so it's got gross Armor-all everywhere.

And thanks for the warm welcome, guys.

Pooters, if I didn't already have a ZHP, I'd want a ZHP after seeing your interior. Great look.

Yea, it's amazing, I'm really happy I got this car. Now it's time to buy a new Alcantara steering wheel -_- the previous owner was a woman. And we all know how much women like hand lotion (insert perv joke here) and it made the steering wheel look pretty rugged.

Wow, a black car with black leather interior and black cube trim. Every other one I've seen has aluminum trim and/or Alcantara. Normally I'm not a huge fan of the "all black look" but that looks fantastic.

We made a trip to knoxville and back about a week ago to see family. (1st long trip for the ZHP)

I call that the "dealer douching".
People must like it. Makes me nuts.

yeah, it helps hide wear as well. makes craptastic interior look nicer to the typical consumer. then it dries and wears off and leaves you with the nasty dirty interior. a typical short cut instead of actually reconditioning.

Hahahaha that is awesome. There are a lot of crappy hand lotions out there that are super oily. But there are some that you can find that are not oily at all.

Those alcantara wheel's are expensive aren't they?

Over $1K

About $250.00 for a re-wrap.
