Former ZHP owner - Hope to be one again soon!!

[TimV]

Hey everyone, new member here. I am the former owner of a 2003 330i ZHP sedan. The car had a 6-spd MT, Silver Gray Metallic paint, black leather interior, Bi-Xenon HIDs and a few other nice options. I bought it brand new in April of 2003 at East Bay BMW. It was on of the first ZHPs on the road in the SF Bay Area and it was awesome. Unfortunately, circumstances caused me to sell the car only a year and a half later. Ever since then, I have missed driving that car.

Fast forward to 2013 and I find myself in need of a car again. As I browse around the internet looking at cars both new and old trying to decide what I would like to have, nothing quite checks all the boxes like my old ZHP. It simply did, and still does, a lot of things really well.

So, I recently found this forum and have begun my search. I am not in a hurry, I want to find the right car as I imagine I will have it for a while this time. I would like to get something as close as possible to what I had before since I selected everything on it myself.

Thanks for letting me join the community. I hope to learn a lot here. Also, I'll try to dig up some old pictures of me and my 2003 ZHP and post them when I can. Thanks again and wish me luck!

A warm welcome and great to have you back in the fold! I agree, silber grau is AWESOME. Pics would be great, I always drool over the brand new ZHP paint in the pics. Oh, take a look in our classified section, we have a few members who are crazy about posting active ads. Hahaha.

I added a picture of my original window sticker. Just out of curiosity, is anyone able to run the VIN? I always wondered what happened to that car. If so, thanks!

You found the right place. Really cool to see you getting into a ZHP again. I could see myself owning another one someday (maybe soon).
