Whats up fellas, after a long search for a black/black ZHP, I wound up picking up an OB/tan and couldn't be happier with the combo.

Its a 2003 330i ZHP w/ 63,XXX miles on it. I got a great deal from one of the nicest guys I've ever dealt with. He held off the other offers for me and after about 30+ emails, I flew in to DC this weekend and drove it back to Charlotte. 400 flawless miles home.

Here's a few teaser pics, I will post more after a good detailing this week. Its all stock for now, but I've been looking at ordering a shark injector & sub frame plates soon. I'm curious on you guy's thoughts on the TMS maintenance package and reinforcement package as well?

I've had a couple of Mustangs in the past, first BMW. Even with half the HP, its twice as much fun to drive! Threw in 2 quick shots of my old stangs....

Congrats ! The Mustangs look nice. I'm sure you will enjoy the extra doors in the ZHP (among other things). :biggrin

I jumped on it as soon as I saw the miles & price. Great deal. I'll have to do some research on the packages, really want to make sure all maintenance/reinforcement is squared away before I start buying mods.


Congrats and welcome.

Thanks, fellow breaking bad fan I see.

I can't stop driving it. The cornering is amazing, ride is smooth and you just can't beat driving with 4 windows down with the sunroof open. I had modded the mustangs pretty heavily so I'm missing the extra hp/tq, but this has to be hands down the best DD on the road.

Well Said. It is absolutely a fantastic DD. Congrats and welcome. Great color combo.

Welcome and great car! As for the TMS packages, I've bought a bunch of stuff from them and they are a great company to work with. They do charge a little more for their stuff, but very educated staff and always willing to help. They build some amazing track cars, and it shows in the "packages" they put together. Everything is well thought out...

Good luck!

Haha, Autotrader. I was checking it religiously everyday so I'm 90% I was the first to inquire. He was nice enough to honor my first dibs. He told me he had people offering more money and ready to pick up that night. 2 weeks later, its in my driveway, real nice guy.

Thanks man! Always going to be a sweet spot in my heart for a Mustang but it was time for an upgrade.

Congrats on the pickup, right in my backyard & Shawn & I missed it.

On TMS maintenance packages , compare to ECS Tuning.com as sometimes they're the same parts but cheaper. And don't be afraid to call ECS, I've found kinks in their online ordering but the customer service is top notch. Also check out Bimmerworld.com, call them because their website doesn't show half the stuff they offer, and they are extremely helpful and knowledgeable on the phone.

PM'd you on the stickers.

Looks like there's quite a few running around CLT. Let me know if there's anything ever going down!

I'll be at Pawleys Island for the next week, stop by 624 Pritchard St if you find yourself down in the Low Country, multiple BMWs with "ZHPMafia" stickers on side windows will give away which house we're in. And if we're not around the house, stroll on down to the beach and the largest group will be obvious, that's us and ask for Bruce.

Nice looking car, and as Marcus said, amazing mileage for an 03. Seemed to me like most of the cars in the US (being driven all year round) had quite a bit higher mileage. Congrats!
