    New to ZHP Mafia

    Hello ZHP Mafia -

    My name's Nic and I'm a new member. Im a self-diagnosed car nut, but then again who on ZHP Mafia isn't? I must be in good company. I live in Massachusetts and am currently attending the University of Massachusetts Amherst.

    Now onto the part you all wanna hear: what am I driving? I am elated to have picked up my first BMW last week - a 2004 Imola Red 330i ZHP, with a 6 speed, Alcantara interior, and black cube trim. You can most certainly bet that I hitched a ride from UMass just go back home (where it was) and drive it. Now I brought it back out with me to school and I generally take every opportunity I can to drive it. I might as well start a taxi service.

    The car's got 110k, but runs really well. I have already planned out what I'm going to do with it right when I get back from school: 1 - Change oil/tranny/diff fluids, 2 - Replace the headlight lenses and side view mirrors (already ordered parts), 3 - get my wheel rewrapped at CobyWheel, and 4 - take it over to my good friend's house and spend hours detailing it (it's got a lot of paint swirls). Sorry for the lack of pictures; I'll be sure to post pics when it's in tip top shape after I've given her a thorough polishing. Don't worry - remember: It's not special

    A little bit about myself?
    - I love cars and motorsports. Duh! (I watch F1 and follow endurance racing when I can)
    - I ski more than is healthy for your average human. I like soccer as well.
    - I love music, particularly classic rock
    - I play the keyboards/piano

    Phew, sorry for being long winded. There it is - Glad to be a part of the family!

    Thanks everyone. Elric - IMOLA = AWESOME.

    But - Jupiter, I've been oogling your alpine white ZHP for the longest time. I think the e46 is one of the best looking cars in white by far.

    Welcome. Pics. More details. And did your car already get cooling system overhaul? If not, add to list! Expansion tank is prob at end of life.

    Pics and details come after finals when I'm home its nice and shiny. And oh no - isn't a cooling system overhaul about a thousand dollar ordeal?
