Greetings from PA. Acquired at the end of April from the 2nd owner in Erie, PA here is my '06ci. 6spd, Jet Black over Sand Full Leather, 3rd owner, 64k miles. New this car came of out Rick Hendrick in Charleston, SC. 2nd owner who I purchased from bought it there as a Cert Pre-owned back in '09. Options are Full Leather w/power, Xenons, Moonroof.

After purchase I brought it up to date on maintenance (fluids mostly, and a 4 wheel alignment). I then machine polished / corrected the paint twice it was somewhat neglected - it came out pretty well, but not perfect. Really needs a professional wet sand but it's good enough for now. Next came the CDV delete, some PDR work and had the driver's seat bolster wear re-dyed / sprayed. SprintBooster 2 and Conforti Shark Injector, as well as Bimmian Painted Front Grille with M stripes. New battery at time of Shark install. Swapped gearbox to Redline MTL.

Next: some type of aftermarket muffler / exhaust, and possibly wheel spacers, as well as refinish wheels.

Let me know what you think!

Welcome, sir. I think your car looks sharp. I've always liked the contrast between black and tan. My e36 and e90 were like that. :thumbup

Solid relatively low mileage car with a good set of initial PM. As Fredo noted, the Sand Beige is a very nice contrast from the black exterior.

Drive it!

Welcome to the forum! That interior really sets the car off.

Good looking ZHP! I had Light Beige 2 leather interior in my previous 330Ci and I really liked it.

I saw your other post about exhausts and left a note over there.

Welcome.

"ZHP is a garbage option anyway- just some cosmetic upgrades with a different cam and diff to claw back some of the performance lost fitting those hideous and heavy wheels. Any 330 with a 3.46 diff will smoke a ZHP every time. The whole Mafia thing reeks of childish behavior." - anonymous E46 fanatic
