New ZHP owner in NC

[slavik1988]

Bought 2004 BMW 330i ZHP for the wife as a replacement for her 05 VW Touareg. It will be her new daily driver. Got a great deal on it considering the maintenance that was done to it. The mileage when I bought it was 107k, price $8,000 that I negotiated to $7,400. Bought a one way airplane ticket to Houston, TX, got picked up by the owner who lived 2 hours away from airport(I didn't even know that, feel sorry for him), completed the transaction, dropped him off at a car rental place and started my road trip back to NC.

Love the silver with back trim and tinted windows - great contrast and sharp. Looks fabulous. And the maintenance history is thorough. Good price too. Congratulations!

Wow that was a great purchase. Hendersonville is a wonderful place for a ZHP! I'll be heading up that way on Saturday to hit some trails, so be on the lookout for an obnoxious red car tearing through the mountains.

Welcome and congrats.

[slavik1988]

Thanks everybody. Love the car. Could not be much happier with the purchase. I have a whole list of maintenance planned for it over the next few months. I will start a journal of what needs and what will be replaced.

Yep. We are lucky with the mountains here. I wasn't out this weekend but we have a few rides planed for March. Feel free to join us or be on the lookout for me on the E46 M3.

That front track looks wiiiiide. Square setup?

Nope.

The E9x M3 wheels are wider than the ones on E46 18x9 vs 18x8.5 and the offset pushes them out. Also running 1.8 degrees negative camber up front.


I just picked them up as well, was running a square setup of Style 67 M3 wheel before this.
