    Thoughts on this particular ZHP for sale.

    I'm looking to get rid of my highly modified 98' M3 for a ZHP (a trade would be nice!). I came across this car - at Godspeed motors. They always have a ZHP in their inventory.

    Anyways, what are your thoughts? I don't like the silver moldings, and that's not the right steering wheel, is it?

    Fwiw, it has been in an accident. The title is still clear.

    Thanks!

    What was the accident type? ie: side impact, rear impact, front impact, etc... The type of impact can have ummmm impact on future parts wearing out faster or flat out failing. A number of things dont' get replaced in accidents and don't show up for a little while.

    Just a heads up is all. Looks nice otherwise, and yes that steering wheel looks correct, just all leather.


    I really have no idea what I am doing

    for a 2004 the steering wheel would be a replacement. looks like the perf leather ZHP wheel.

    the moldings are pretty easy to replace from what i've seen. another member switched his out recently, back to black. and i agree, looks much better on sedan.

    Thanks guys for the quick responses. Don't know the type of accident, just checking out the carfax where it shows it's been in an accident.

    I now await the dealer's response..

    That's not a perforated leather wheel, just a (already quite worn) replacement leather wheel.

    Body moldings are easy to switch back to black, costs about $250 in new parts from the dealer, obviously less if you go used. I just did this on mine.

    I'd need the police report + before/after photos + parts list used to repair before I'd even consider that car anywhere over $10,000.

    +1, one thing you might want to look into is whether or not airbag went off, in your case you dont know whether they replaced the steering wheel as part of alcantara steering wheel being worn or just a full replacement after accident or what.

    The first thing I noticed without completing reading the post is that it has had body work done on the right front. Very noticable. IMHO, given the mileage and the knowledge of accident, a more suitable specimen can be found.

    I'd say my car is a much better deal.
