If it's not costing you anything, keep it. Even if it sits for a while... every time you get in it you be glad you did!
We've had many BMW's over the years, all of them faster and newer but we have always loved getting back into the ZHP.

+1. One of the new members posted “this is my forever car”. Granted, he was talking about an e36 M3. However, those words describe how I feel about my zhp.

Bingo. The ZHP is my forever car.Originally Posted by fredo
Might it one day get transitioned out of daily duties? Absolutely, but I can’t imagine a situation where I’d let this thing go.

It’s the same thing for me. The zhp is turning into a car I could totally hold onto for a really really long time. Even when the miles are really up there and repairs get bigger and bigger. At that point I plan on swapping in an s54. Or if that’s not in the cards just get a new M54 in there and keep it on the road until I can afford a porsche.

Lol basically my exact plan if the M54 ever goes kaput.

I would agree. That said, I've already spent $2000 this year on repairs. For the most part, the car has been good the past couple of years.
I am optimistic that is the case with me and that I am allowed to keep it.

If only I could afford an S54 conversion

+1 4 sure. Instead of S54 I supercharged it.

I got a coupon from my local BMW dealership for a free state inspection so I scheduled a day next week. I am very confident that it will pass but should I worry that they may go out of their way to find an issue? Anyone else in VA get inspected at a dealer?
