    2017: Year of the Sell. It's been fun 8 years owning a ZHP. KM05909 gone to it's new home.

    I thought I make an official thread.

    For those that have been following my project thread and/or chat with me, I've sold my ZHP to Brett Wrigley in Georgia. It has left me with a bittersweet moment as it is going to an incredible home. I setup a pre-sale detail and photoshoot. With the in progress pics, I ended up selling it before I even posted the ad! I'm more than please with the who it went to as well as the fair price between the two of us.

    ## Why did I decide to sell it?
    One real letter could caused all this ruckus. ///M. When I first bought my ZHP, it was a daily driver. Then it became a track car. It served its purpose very well. However, now that I have a commuter car doing most of the leg work, the urge to have something even more special has arose. I've toyed with the idea for a long time to get rid of the ZHP but it wasn't until recently and I actually followed through.

    ## Whats Next?
    I'm on the hunt for an E90 M3 LCI 6MT in any exterior color except Jet Black and Melbourne Red. The interior must have black interior and navigation at a minimal. Would be nice items are ZCP, EDC and comfort access/convenience package. With the rarity of a 6MT E90 Sedan with black interior, I might open up to the coupe as well. 2009+ E92 would be a minimal so that the navigation is the updated CIC. LED coupe tails came in 2011 but they can be retrofitted to any year M3 which expands my search results. Hopefully I find something that will be as nice as the ZHP I had.


    ## Thanks to all of you
    This is forum has raised the bar of how a community should act. It's been amazing to be part of it throughout all these years. You all been amazing and I've made some great friends here. I'm not going away. I'll still be around in the facebook group and here.

    Having owned an M5, I can understand your urge. For me the perfect combo would be ZHP for DD duties and e92 M3 for other occasions. Power of those cars is just intoxicating.

    I agree regarding this community. One of the best all around and I plan on sticking around no matter what car I end up with.

    Good luck with your search!

    That was the original plan but watching this car do 3300mi/mo would make me sad watching it wear down from where it is today. My commuter car is a 2017 civic hatchback turbo. It's great for doing the job of commuting but I need something with more umph for Point A to Point A drives and HPDEs.

    I'm happy it went to Brett. I wish you Georgia folks were closer to me! It would've been fun to see these ZHP meets/Spec ZHP races.

    California Smog tyrants will hate me. I don't want to deal with them so OE is the way to go! E39 M5 is also a nice car to have but I think E90 M3 would be a little more up my ally with all the fun NCSexpert Coding they can do.

    i agree - E90 M3 would be my choice of the two, although it would be a tough choice.

    congrats on the sale - 8 years is a long time. any leads on the E90?
