Hi, I'm new and I'm interested in learning more DIY stuff about my ZHP vert
Hi everyone,
I've had my 2006 convertible 330CI with ZHP package since 2018. This is the second ZHP that I have owned. I previously had a jet black sedan. I will say that I really enjoyed the sedan, but I needed a drop top. Unfortunately, all of the BMWs that I have owned in my lifetime have been automatic, except for one 535 back in the day. The old 5 series, 5-speed had 300+K miles. I was a broke college student, bought it for $1,000, and sold it for $800, after driving it for about a year.
Fast forward to now. I really enjoy my convertible E46. I will never track my vehicles, so the heavier car, is no big deal for me. Lots of fun. Preaching to the choir.
The only thing that I want to improve on is a 6 speed manual transmission swap. I live in San Francisco, CA, so if you have a 6-speed for sale, I would love to hear from you. Also, if you know of a shop in the area that performs the swap, that would be great. I have found a mechanic in the area that has been recommended by various owners, however, he only has had 5-speeds. I'm holding on for a 6-speed.
I look forward to the knowledge that I will gain from all. I hope that I can contribute in the future.
