    The availability of parts should not be an issue for a few years to come. E30 and E36 parts are still plentiful and relatively inexpensive. The E46 is still has a good mix of technology and standard mechanical making it fairly easy to do your own wrenching. I have yet to drive an E90 so, I can't really talk about the difference in vehicle attitude. I would lean towards the ZHP personally. But, then again, I'm a little biased to the pre-E90 chassis.

    We recently purchased an e90 330i for my mom. I personally love the car (I found it for her). It's fully loaded with the sport package. The seats are definitely more comfortable than my seats in the ZHP. The ZHP has absolutely no lumbar support or adjustments. The e90 has lumbar, and side bolster adjustments.
    The e90 is faster, and definitely more quiet (don't like that).
    I would never buy a 335i because of all the issues with them. If I go e90, it's going to be a 330i.
    The ZHP is already a rare collectors car. People around my area that aren't aware of the mafia, are looking for these cars like crazy.
    If you have a low mileage ZHP in a few years from now, you'd probably be able to get what you paid back, if you sold it.
    It's completely up to you. These are two great choices.

    Ok folks, once again, thank you for all of the support and advice. I really do read every post and pay close attention to everything you all say... As Mafia veterans, I really value your words and advice...

    My decision is made. I'm buying the white ZHP in my original post. I am actually going to start my drive tonight, heading North in my Nissan, planning to pick up the ZHP sometime on Tuesday or Wednesday I hope. Wish me luck!

    Awesome! If you need a place to stop for the night, I'm near the half way point. Send a PM if you are interested.

    Best of luck to you! We're all expecting pics upon arrival, of course!

    The ZHP looks great, btw. Natural brown leather is and premium package, cold weather, and NAV are goodies.

    Any details on the accident that was reported?

    Dude, seriously, I might take you up on that. If anything, I might just stop for an hour or two and meet another Mafia member... On the way back South, I'll probably be way more tired... And I'll stop again to let you check out the ZHP!

    iZHP- Hah, thanks man. I am pretty stoked on the car. I'm honestly really concerned that I'll get all the way up there and then find some major issues with the car, but the guy ensures me its clean. I'll probably take it either way, just have to use any flaws I find to my negotiating abilities. As for the accident, he's not sure what exactly happened, but he replaced the drivers door and fender. He said the hood was untouched. And he completely replaced the door instead of repairing. Sounds like he gave the car a good once over to take care of any trouble spots...

    We shall see!

    Dane- That is very possible, you're only about 20 minutes outta the way... I would love to have some veteran eyes take a look at the ZHP... I will be posting along the way as I will have my laptop with me and be stopping at Starbucks (free wifi) often for some driver refueling... Need caffeine for this drive!
