How's it going guys, been meaning to make a thread for a little while since recently acquiring a 2005 ZHP coupe. It was my neighbors old car which I've been helping her out with over the past two years or so with maintenance but she recently bought a new 435i M Sport. "Kitty", the nickname she gave the ZHP was in need of some love again and she texted me out of the blue one day saying she wanted a good home for the car, and if I promised to love and fix her up I could just have her. I don't think a family members given me anything this nice, yet alone a neighbor! She's a really good person, I'm happy she considered me when the time to move on the the ZHP came.
She owned the car from day 1, bought it new from San Fransisco BMW in 2005. She was telling me the salesman brought up that BMW was offering a performance package on the 330i/ci models at the time which gave the car a little extra punch, body kit, ect. She ended up biting the bullet and custom ordered Kitty new with all the options she wanted, it's pretty loaded. Cold weather package, Navigation, you name it and it probably has it. She even gave me a brand new OEM car cover in the trunk, probably never even used since it's still in the original box taped up.
So far the current plans are to get her up to date on Maintenance and address the paint on the roof, along with the re-gluing the material on the A and C pillars (since the material is pealing back). I already ordered a new oil pan gasket, Genuine BMW rear brake pads/ sensor and some hardware for a M3 strut bar I've had in my backyard for quite some time.
