I just got exposed to BMWs about a year ago... I was looking for a new AWD vehicle for my wife, and the salesman talked me into test driving a 2004 330xi with 108k. Well, I had to have it, and it's become a bit of an obsession--so much so that I purchased a 2004 ZHP sedan last weekend (6MT, black on black, and 47k). Hence, I've joined "ZHP Mafia", which I've enjoyed and benefitted from for some time now, as an honest-to-goodness ZHP owner. I'd also like to give a shout out to my son who, after driving my cars, traded his Mazda Miata yesterday for a 2005 BMW 325xi wagon and is looking for a ZHP coupe (don't tell his wife). We're definitely infected...
As you probably noticed, I hail from Vermont which, at least, has a bunch of beautiful, sparcely populated roads where I can enjoy myself. It sucks, though, that it's supposed to snow this weekend, and I won't take my babies out in the rain, much less on salt-covered roads (I have an old Buick LeSabre and an SUV for that).
Well, I appreciate the forum and look forward to chatting up these marvelous machines with fellow enthusiasts!
