    New here, former ZHP owner.

    Hi guys.

    I'm Omar, from Fredericksburg, VA. Born in PR and raised in Chicago though. Former Active Duty Marine, now Gov. Civilian working for Headquarters Marine Corps out of Quantico, VA. My first BMW was an E36 328is when I was 21 in Chicago... since then, I've had the pleasure of owning two E36 M3 Coupe/5spd (one alpine, one cosmos), 2003 Z4 2.4i 5-Speed in Titanium Silver, a 2001 BMW 740i M-Sport in Cosmos on Sand, and of course... a 2003 330i ZHP 6-spd Alpine White on Alcantara baby! The best.

    I no longer own a BMW though and it kills me. For family and financial reasons, I now own a 2012 Honda Civic EX becuase of the 44mpg I get on my 70 mile trips to and from work. My pocket loves me. Plus my ZHP was going on 150k miles and I decided I was better off selling it while I could and saving money on the monthly basis. We also just bought our first home and my baby turns 18months in August. Priorities make daddy lose his toys.

    However, on the rebound, I think I will be keeping my eye out for another Alpine/Alcantara ZHP... this time I want a non-sunroof coupe. If not this, then an 8series... but most likely a ZHP.

    Im happy to be a part of the forums as I feel I'm a ZHP Mafioso for life, wether I have one right now or not.

    Keep on ZHP'n on!

    Welcome to the site.

    You have a lot of knowledge from owning your zhp which will help many others on here. Maybe even influence you to get another welcome
