New Member from Denver CO Area, Searching for my ZHP

[mercury26]

I am a new member to the forum on the hunt for an E46 ZHP. I have exclusively driven German cars since I was 16 (almost 30 years, sheesh), all VWs, Audis and BMWs. I have restored a 1985 BMW 535i (E28) and owned a very rare 2010 BMW 328i xDrive Wagon with 6sp MT and M-Tech package (which I unfortunately traded-in, but I have been contacted by the 3rd owner so it is in good hands). With that being said, my lease just ended on my 2013 VW Golf R and looking for another BMW as my nice weather DD. I posted in the WTB section and on the hunt to get something soon. I am a meticulous caretaker of any vehicle that I own, so it will go to a good home. Nice to meet everyone and look forward to participating in this forum.

Regards,

Chuck

Welcome Chuck.

Any pictures of your previous cars?

Good luck on the hunt

[mercury26]

Yes, I have pics of some but not all (wish I had pics of my early watercooled VWs that I had in the 80's and 90's). Let me see what I can dig up.

Welcome. Didn't like the R enough to keep it?

[mercury26]

Loved the R, but it is a complex story. Basically VW was not loving me back, disappointing as I have been long time brand advocate. Back to the inline-6. :)

Thanks for the welcome, just purchased my first ZHP on Tuesday (though not my first BMW). Awesome car, I can't wait to start working on it and driving it more.

Congrats! Post pics and info when you can.

Also, what'd you think of your Golf R? I always like to hear people's opinions on the different generation Golf Rs.

Chuck did you find something? I'm in the Denver area as well!

Welcome Chuck. I just bought mine about a week ago. Loving it so far. In my search I was finding cars all around the country and the price was only part of what my requirements were. I finally found a good car that also just happened to be very inexpensive. What worked well for me is finding ZHP at dealers that are not advertised as a ZHP.

What parameters are you in search of such as color, options, mileage, price?
