what's goin on

I've been a huge ZHP proponent for the last 1.5 years or so since I started my search for my new car. I was looking for the best all-around sport sedan (performance mainly with at least "decent" fuel economy i.e. avoided V8's (mainly B6 S4's)) with manual transmission for under $25k (in 2009) regardless of year or manufacturer and well I'm sure you know what I decided on! -- I am still convinced that the ZHP sedan is the best all around MT sedan out there for $25k or less. Other selling points for me was that the ZHP is fairly uncommon and has a lot of the mods I would have done already from the factory.

I bought a CPO silver-grey sedan with black leather, manual, with cold weather and premium packages and about 53k miles in early 2010 from a classified listing on E46F from a guy in NYC. The car came with clears and tint at time of purchase. Since then I've been focused on maintenance (just finished Inspection II) and still deciding if I really want to mod the car too much.

Mods that have been done to the car:
-tint
-black kidneys
-OEM clears
-angel eyes
-Dynavin (and reverse camera)
-Subwoofers and amp

Upcoming mods:
-BMW Performance rotors and Hawk Performance Ceramic pads
-spacers (thinking 10mm rear 5mm front) for a little bit of a beefier look
-replacing/retro-fitting burnt ZKW projector bowls

Nice ride. The spacers look good as does the grille. It should have been blacked out from the factory IMO!

Welcome!

Your car is beautiful! Welcome to the family. I have been kicking around the idea of spacers myself.
