It's so nice to finally have time to do this. My name is Joe and this is my Oxford Green ZHP, Olive. I did a quick intro thread when i picked up the car but just to recap:
I picked up the car at the end of June just outside of Philly with 155K miles on the car. I paid $9k of it. Its probably a bit on the higher end, but its also 1 of 3 in the OG/ sand beige combination, so I guess I paid for exclusivity. I always forget to add that the PO threw in a set of winter wheels and tires. So if you factor in that they alone would cost me almost $1000 on their own, my price comes down closer to $8k. According to the carfax, I'm the 4th owner. The previous two owners were very good about keeping up with maintenance, of which I have the history for from the 30k mile mark below.
Modifications:
Clutch Stop- I put a clutch stop on my previous car, an '09 335 and it really made it much easier to find that bite point. Also because theres less of a drop in revs, the shift are much smoother. I went with the one from Burger Tuning but they'll all pretty much do the same.

Steering wheel/Boots-My steering alcantara wheel is in pretty bad shape so I placed an order for a newly upholstered wheel and matching boot. I'll post pics and info when I receive them.
