    New member from TX!

    Greetings, fellow enthusiasts!

    I'm Jason from Central Texas. Signed up here to aid in the hunt for another ZHP. I sold mine late last year and am in the market for another with more packages and amenities I want. So, I'll be posting a WTB ad as well, but wanted to introduce myself and give a little background.

    I've had several E46's, and the ZHP is by far my favorite. We currently own an '06 E83 X3 with 140k on the clock and we've had it since 50k miles. Never done a thing to it other than preventive maintenance. Last production year with the M54 engine, that's why we chose it, it's just what I know. Absolutely fantastic car, superb in the snow and handles just as well. Snow you ask? There's no snow in TX! Well, we bought the car in Maryland, where my wife is from, where it was very useful. Not so much anymore but still a great car. My background in aviation and obtaining my A&P and pilots licenses helped me move back to central Texas to be a Propulsion Tech at SpaceX. We wanted to get out of the Baltimore suburbs and back to my roots in Texas, where life is lived just a little slower, and raise our son who is now 5.

    My "toy" my wife calls it, is an '03 330Ci with a "little" work done. It's twin screw supercharged and putting down well over 400whp.

    Well, that's about it for now. I look forward to engaging in conversation, helping out and answering questions where I can and learning more yet! These sites are an invaluable resource to have and I thank you all for the help!

    Welcome to the family Jason. Good luck in the hunt. SpaceX...wow! The future! Impressive. I am sure the A&P knowledge and skills somewhat translate and come in handy when working on cars. I have an aviation background, but that is all it is, background. I flew rotary-wing and fixed-wing in the Army. I have a fixed-wing ATP and Commercial rotary-wing license, but have not flown in ages. There’s nothing like strapping a machine to your back and controlling it in the air. Keep it up and enjoy it.
