For some reason I really like this color combo.

I agree nice combo

But no Xenon/Projectors...

Yeah never got that part. People that didn't order xenon.

Should have been standard.

It became standard on the top-level 3 series (335) sedans from the E9x going forward (E9x coupes/verts all had it standard). Too bad E46 didn't make the cut, but, then again... it was the first 3 series to even have Xenons as an option, so I guess I'm not surprised.

Aren't xenon's very expensive to replace vs halogen?

Not really... used ones aren't that expensive.
If you're talking about bulbs, well... the Xenon ones tend to last longer so you get your money's worth.

You rarely ever have to replace a Xenon light assembly, so the cost to replace doesn't really matter that much anyway. The ZKW's in the E46 are an exception, and that's due to a faulty design.

I will never like that Gray interior. This isn't as bad as it with Tiag or something, but still, would put me to sleep regardless of the Mystic Blue.

I think I like it because it looks fresh and different. And makes the interior not look dark like a black hole.

If I had a second chance at a ZHP, I'd do a grey interior two-toned precisely like the Natural Brown interior. So, I'd buy the black carpet, dash, console pieces, and door cards, then swap the door card centers into the black door cards. Being a ZHP, the headliner is already black. When done like this, it would look sick, and should be the way it came from the factory IMO.

Now you got me thinking of swapping parts between the cars in my household. One interior is grey and the interior in Sketchi is black.

Wait, what? Neither of your ZHPs have grey interior... :confused
You have another E46 with a grey interior I don't know about?

Yeah. Titanium silver on grey. 05 step. It's in the family not mine.

Agree - love the two tone look and like the gray (my wife's not a big fan of tan/brown)

Looks like that dealer has some other very nice toys.

Metrolina is amazing. These guys did it right and they're only in their late 20s. Tons of exotics over there and they're very involved in the car community in Charlotte.
