Forgive my belated introduction (and forgive me should I bore you!), esteemed members of the zhp mafia family. I registered some time ago but illness has prevented me from introducing myself until now. I'm Bryan, born and raised on Canada's east coast but now residing on its west - or 'left' - coast, in Victoria, British Columbia.
A disaster of sorts delivered my 2006 BMW 330Ci ZHP into my lap in July 2013: I was involved in a car accident in my beloved (and pristine)1987 E30 (Euro spec) AWD. Damage to the front end was so extensive that the car had to be written off, while I escaped with some minor injuries. When back on my feet I went looking for another E30 but found none in Victoria. There were numerous E46s, however ... too many, truth be told. Just one among them stood out, and I kept coming back to it despite it being far more expensive than any of the others. Until then, I had never heard of the ZHP performance package, but after doing some research - including a first visit to zhpmafia.com - I decided the car was well worth the extra dollars, I took the plunge and here I am: the 3rd owner (2nd Canadian) of the afore-mentioned 2006 model (The original owner purchased the vehicle in Washington State and moved to Victoria in 2011. He sold it to a local guy the following year who reluctantly had to put it up for sale in order to finance the purchase of a van for his fast-growing young business.
