Current member but another new to me ZHP

[d-rod]

Hi guys, so I currently have an imola zhp. It’s auto and originally bought as a DD because at the time I had a e39 M5. I have since sold my M5 which I regret and recently started to play with the idea of getting something a little more exciting.
I’ve thought about another e39 M5, s54 swapped wagons, even a golf r, but then I ran across this ZHP which caught my eye.
It’s a sweet color combo and has a bit more power than stock.
What do you guys think about it ?

Any details? Why won't the hood close? Is the roof plastidipped (texture looks weird)?

[BADCLOWN]

nice, what kind of power is it putting down? what SC kit is that? is it intercooled?

He just has the hood popped open but it does close fully.
The roof is wrapped in an odd carbon fiber like texture, I personally don't like it so I'm going to remove it. He also has it on the mirrors, splitters, rear diffuser etc. Also has green calipers which I'm hoping will grow on me because I don't want to deal with having them redone.

This is the mod list
Active Autowerke Supercharger Kit
Active Autowerke Meth Injection Kit
Active Autowerke Headers
Brembo Brakes All 4 Corners
Dinan Exhaust
KW V3 Suspension
Megan Racing Control Arms
Stage 2 Clutch

The only issue is a gear rattle that he said is coming from the lightweight flywheel. He said the noise goes away when you push in the clutch , does that sound right to you guys?

I saw that Sacramento car and thought about buying it for a second. It's in very good shape! Dealing with smog here in CA makes it challenging so I decided to pass. A rattle and a lightweight flywheel go hand in hand which is why my owners who aren't tracking their cars switch back to a OEM style flywheel.

Congrats!

some clutch/FW kits that are beefier than stock will chatter like that........not out of the ordinary IMO.

thats a very strange pattern of CF vinyl wrap, never seen that before.


what kind of power does it make?

Thanks, yes from what I read that seems to be the case about the lightweight flywheel.
The seller was undecisive and even changed the price after already making an agreement, started bothering me and was not going to go through with it along with my fiancé trying to talk me out of it.
After some research and several videos of the vehicle I decided to give in.
It's in super clean condition and the service records are outstanding. Everything from steering rack , door actuators even the engine was replaced at around 50kmi and all work done at BMW dealer, current mileage is around 110k.

I need to get it on a dyno, seller doesn't know the actual numbers and just questimates 300-350hp to the crank.
This is what's listed on active autowerkes website, not sure how accurate that is.

Ok so I flew out yesterday to Sacramento and drove it all the way back to San Diego. It drove pretty flawless. There’s a few things I want to take care of , I think first would be to remove the wrap like stuff on the roof. The headliner is saggy in the rear which I might do next. I will start a thread on it later on.
It’s definitely clean inside and out.
