    New ZHP Owner in Seattle, Washington

    Hello Everyone,
    I am new to the ZHP life, concurrently an owner of a
    Black 2002 E46 330i (Sport Package) with 140k miles on the clock.
    I like to work on cars and restore them to their previous glory.

    I recently added a new car to my stable. A nearly mint (mechanically) Silver Grey Metallic 330CI ZHP with 52K miles on the clock.

    I plan to go in a bit of a different route with this BMW than the black one, previous owner botched the repair using JBWeld to cover a gap between the new panel and the original rear panel making it extremely costly to repair using traditional methods. The original plan was to part the ZHP out, but as soon as I drove it I fell in love with it.
    I'll start a build thread once I get going on it.
    Already got it aligned and replaced a fuel pump (thank god for drunken ebay browsing 3+ months ago).

    Looking for a rear matching ZHP rim or Rim + Tire - 255/35 R18.
    Or
    Willing to trade the set of 4 ZHP wheels and tires that I have (3 good, 1 cosmetically damaged) for a set of 17" - 18" wheels with good tires.
    I like CSL style wheels and the Style 42 wheels. PM me, worst I can say is "no".
    Located in Seattle Area, will travel down as far South as Portland, OR and as far North as Vancouver, BC.

    "ZHP is a garbage option anyway- just some cosmetic upgrades with a different cam and diff to claw back some of the performance lost fitting those hideous and heavy wheels. Any 330 with a 3.46 diff will smoke a ZHP every time. The whole Mafia thing reeks of childish behavior." - anonymous E46 fanatic

    Thanks for the warm welcome! I'm getting ready to do suspension, brakes, tires (desparately need a rear wheel), body work is last on my list, but I'm looking.
