Allow me to reintroduce myself...

Not sure if this is legal or not, but as an original member here, I feel the need to take liberties.

Keith, if you don't like it, well, then, phooey on you. Yea, I said it. Phooey.

So back in the day (December of 1969), I joined ZHP Mafia because I owned this car and liked the people here:



And I went to events like this one:





Then hysteria hit me, and I got rid of that car (bye bye!):


In order to scratch this itch:


And it has been a very fun two years, scratching away.

But as happens sometimes, life changes priorities. Nowadays, I need to buy a home closer to where I work, up in north jersey, where prices are craycray. This means car payment no es bueno, so I've worked a sweet deal to get rid of said payment. My father loves the E82, so he's buying it. As part of the deal, I get his E46, and I am sans car payment and back into the E46 fold.

Many of you have met this car:

So I'm back. Oh yea, my name is Marc.

The "new" old car is a 2002 325 coupe, +-50k miles, loved by my family since it had 15k miles on it back in 2003. OB over Sand. Premium, Sport, etc... Not sure how easy it'll be to go from 300 lb/ft of torque available at 1,800 rpm, but I'll figure it out. As my friend Andrew (who now owns the red car above) said: it might just be that the E46 is the best car ever made.

Anyhoozle, here's some closer shots:





So I need some help with some stuff. I'd love to put some M68s on this badboy. Then I'd love to do nothing else to it other than drive it. Oh, maybe a better steering wheel.

Welcome back to me! Yahoo!

I love my 325 ZSP FTW! Welcome back. Good luck with the reduction in power (I hear it's addictive )

[Vas]

Noooooooo.

But do you wish that you would have kept the zhp ?

[ELCID86]

Glad you are back.

Hey Marc, nice to see you back on the forum! I'm sure you'll enjoy the E46 once again, just give it some time for the power deficit to settle in and you'll probably forget about the One. Ok, ok, not really but the E46 is a fun chassis. Incidentally, not sure how you plan to pull this off, but it did give me a good laugh: "Then I'd love to do nothing else to it other than drive it." Yea, let us know how that works out for you. In the meantime, I will be sure that the mods leave you space for a OB/Sand 325ci modding thread.

Beautiful car! Perfect candidate for an S54 swap.

Welcome (back)!

We all say our cars will stay stock.
