    New guy from West Texas - 2005 black on black sedan ZHP

    I just bought a ZHP off of ebay, and it gets here tomorrow. It's a bit of a project:

    http://www.ebay.com/itm/2005-BMW-3-S...53.m1438.l2649

    I'm planning on taking my time fixing it up. It was in an accident, but not a bad one. I figure I'll do all the engine accessory and cooling system upgrades while it's apart - aluminum pulleys, cooling system, etc. I might do a carbon fiber hood, but i'm suspicious of the quality of aftermarket hoods and if it's a worthwhile upgrade.

    Other than that, I'm just going to drive it. I'm into off-roading and I have a project H3. I'm planning on driving that in the winter and this car in the summer.

    This site seems like a great resource. I've been reading through all the wikis and stuff and seeing what the common issues are and I have a pretty good list of things to do.

    Also, i'm going to have a hard time with the "ZHP recommended service" - I live in West Texas and It's ALWAYS dusty here. This thing will probably never be clean for more than 10 minutes at a time

    "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
