    New member from sunny San Diego

    Greetings all. A longtime BMW fan and driver, I just joined the forum having picked up a ZHP vert last month. I've been driving BMW for the last 15yrs and truly love the E46 chassis - I've owned two 99 323i's, an 02 M3 and an 02 330i. Throw in an 01 X5 and an 11 Z4 35is and I can safely say that I'm hooked on the marque. As the third car, the ZHP is sharing the garage with a 14 Mercedes C250 (girlfriend's) and an 05 Porsche 911 C2S.

    So the car is an 05, jet black on natural brown. Love the color contrast! It has 83k miles on the odometer and runs like a champ. Some little things here and there to address but I enjoy working on her. She lived her life in Florida and is now happily residing in sunny Southern California. I've thus added a trunk lip spoiler, gloss black kidneys, stubby antennae, windscreen, brake duct covers, aux cord and color matched the shifter / ebrake handle / steering wheel trim. Wheels and maybe a drop to come. We will see.

    I look forward to chatting with everyone about these wonderful machines.

    Needless to say I LOVE that car! Welcome to the family. I actually have a inside/outside twin even closer, in Hermosa Beach.

    OP: where did you get your rear trunk spoiler? I might need to replace mine down the road. And, nice set of cars you have/had.

    There are a few mafioso down there in SD, and a few that are still members but aren't around much, just as an FYI.

    PS You can paint the greyed out front grill with a gloss black spray paint and it will look great. Easy to remove and paint or you can mask it off and paint.
