WTB: Manual ZHP Convertible

[Vas]

225 do fit on a 8.5 wheel but they are not stretched.

Seller said all 4 tires were the same so I looked and it was 225s on all 4 corners. Don't recall the brand but they were not anything special.

The tires are not that big of a deal. I'm more curious to why the bumpers,fender and quarter panel were repainted on the car.

Clean carfax?

I checked out the car today. I think it is a great deal for the condition it is in, and I loved the color combination. The car looks stunning to me. The paint issues you pointed out were not noticeable at all, but I'm not a professional. The car had a clean AutoCheck report and corroborates the history as she explained it. Regarding the tire situation, it turns out she DID have the staggered setup (wheels+tires), but the 255's were on the front of the car and not the rear. Whomever rotated her tires did a bad job not noticing something so basic.

Trouble with this whole thing is....I made the mistake of test driving an E46 M3 before going down. While the ZHP was awesome, the price differential (to me) is such that it's worth splurging and getting the M3 instead.

Someone really ought to buy that Imola ZHP convertible; I'm surprised it hasn't yet sold. I was really close to pulling the trigger and agonized over the decision while I was down there, but it's over now.

Maybe I am just picky but I rather point out every little detail about the vehicle.

What you did makes sense; that's what I would do too

The maintenance on the M3 is horrendously more expensive compared to the ZHP (e.g. Inspection I $1,000+). I'm also contemplating the sale of mine, which fits your criteria. '06 6MT vert, triple black, Alcantara, xenons, HK, 52K miles.
