    Rus_ZHP project thread

    Hello Mafia,

    Finally I had a chance to introduce myself and started a thread about my ZHP. Let me start with the car details:
    Production: 03/2003
    Purchase date: Feb 2014
    Spec: IR, 6 MT, slick top, alcantara + black cube, no premium pack.

    Mileage at purchase: 121,700

    My name is Sergey and I registered back in October. Once I bought the car, I was frequently visiting site for some info. But for some reason didn’t enjoy community right away.
    My ZHP spends all its life in Virginia, as far as know. I didn’t get any maintenance history from previous owner. But it didn’t bother me much, because I bought the car as a project and for the right price.
    Drawbacks that I had during the purchase were mostly cosmetic. Interior was pretty dirty, all plastic heavily scratched, all 4 wheels had a curb rush, leather on steering wheel heavily worn. Lights output was terrible and one window regulator was broken.
    Most of the time ZHP services as weekend ride for me. Occasionally I am driving ZHP to work, when me DD brakes down. I have 50 miles one way commute to work and don’t want to rack up mileage on her. In addition, I don’t think that 18” wheels and high performance tires matched well with dreadful New England roads, especially during winter season.
    As you will see from my maintenance list all projects are moving kind of slow. Mostly, it’s due to the lack of time and finances as well. I am enjoying the process and hopefully soon I will have a pristine example of my beloved e46 BMW.
    I have to say that Mafia community was extremely helpful during my ownership. I am very excited to be a part of the family.
