Hello! New Owner in the Bay Area, CA

[rangomango]

Hello ZHP Mafia!

Recently picked up a 2005 330ci ZHP, Sparkling Graphite Metallic over Natural Brown (you may have seen it listed in the classifieds :p).

Sort of an impulse buy, fell in love with the color combo and always was interested in owning a ZHP. This is my third car, so not sure if this will take over daily duty or be a weekend car just yet.

Looking forward to meeting folks in the bay area and learning form the community!

Welcome! That is a gorgeous color combo. I love Sparkling Graphite Metallic, and Natural Brown interior is just killer. How many miles?

What are the other two cars in your stable?

Haha! Thank you for the warm welcome! After the drive back from LA, it has ~113k.

My two other cars are a 2011 Mini Cooper S and 1996 Acura NSX. Mini is currently my daily.

Nice collection and great colors!! I have the same exterior with Black on a convertible and always loved the Brown more. Congrats . I have a feeling that the Mini will be regulated to hatchback when needed duties unless your trying to keep the ZHP miles low, we own both and the ZHP is just as much fun in corners with a bit more comfort and luxury.

Haha, thank you! A lot of people hated on the color in the 90s, but I think it sets it apart from the red/black ones i see a lot.

Thank you, if you are ever up North, let me know. I'll do the same if I make a trip to socal.

Awesome!

Haha, funny you mention that, I was driving last night and had the same observation, I could push it way harder in the corner than the mini. However the mini does have that go kart feel and turbo kick. So we will see!!
