Hey Folks,
Just wanted to introduce myself and my new car. I'm located in southern Orange County (Foothill Ranch) here in Southern CA. Had my eye on a neat ZHP for quite awhile and feel grateful that I'm able to become the new owner. I can only hope that I am able to continue to provide for the car to the extent of the previous owner who truly has appeared to be a great guardian.
The car originally came to form in 2004 when Rogue Engineering took a low mileage 2003 Imola Red / Black Alcantara/Cloth sunroofless 330i and outfitted with a full E46 M3 drivetrain with matching cooling and fuel systems to boot. I'm sure there are a handful of ZHP owners who are familiar with this car. I want it to be known that my attraction to the car was not primarily driven by the drivetrain. I have had my eye on the ZHP cars ever since I worked at my local BMW dealership before/during college. I always thought they were the neatest cars on the lot and was pleased BMW had the gusto to develop such a package.
I am also pleased to note that the Rogue E46 M3 Wagon (also Imola Red) is around 8 miles away from where I'll be parking my ZHP. Plan to do a photoshoot with the two together and hopefully an article.
With all that said it is indeed my privilege to be a part of this unique little community. I have already felt extremely welcome here thanks to Marcus and am just so tickled (sorry to use this word) to have access to such a great group and information source. I can't wait to meet some of you and now experience a sense of fellowship every time (albeit once in a blue moon!) I see another ZHP on the road.
The car is currently on its way from New Jersey and is due here February 21st.. I'm an insomniac until then.
Thanks for reading, folks.
-Terry Best
