    New Member from Canada

    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.

    Some facts & figures:

    Nice rig. You've got that center stack!

    Leather steering wheel is easier to live with as well.

    Thanks very much for the warm welcome, people! In retrospect and after seeing numerous "New Member from Canada ..." threads, I suppose I should have specified city/province. But unless there is a quick and easy way to edit the thread's title, ambiguous it shall remain. I'm wiped after going back in and trying to remove a few pics!
