Hey folks! My name is Richard, a new member from San Diego, CA area. I currently do not own a ZHP yet but wanted to introduce myself as I hope to be one soon.

Growing up, I was heavily into the Honda scene (still am). It wasn't until I started working for the company I work for until I really got into BMWs. My boss is a huge BMW fan and has created a whole business manufacturing specialty tools/parts for all German brand vehicles, but BMW being our biggest customer.

My current ride is a '08 Honda CBR600RR that I bought brand new in 2008 right after high school. Since then, I have gone through a few cars/ motorcycles and trucks.

I look forward to chatting and possibly meeting some forum members. As mentioned earlier in the post, I am currently looking for a ZHP. If anyone knows of a sedan that is manual, please reach out to me!

Welcome, Richard. The F30 335i is a fun car, I really like the N55 engine. GL with your ZHP search, there are good ones out there.

Welcome ! Nice list of rides you’ve had there. It’s been getting a bit tougher to find nice ZHPs but if you’re patient you’ll snatch one up. I’m also located in San Diego

Thanks for the welcome!

The F30 was probably my overall favorite. Don’t get me wrong, the E46 was fun but the F30 was just as capable plus more. The N55 with some basic bolt on, Bootmod3 tune and E30 fuel gained the car around 100hp!!!

On a side note, just test drove my first ZHP. Determined to get one now.

Welcome! A nice list of rides you have there. Don't get too tied down to mileage if that's something you're concerned about. Good maintenance is far more important than low mileage

Yea I'm with you on that, service history is a big deal for me.

There's a red ZHP sedan right around the corner from my work in Escondido. Anyone on here?

Hmmm, that might be JP bit I thought he was more La Jolla. It might be Mark, his was Imola but I forget if coupe or sedan.

Well ladies and gentlemen, I am officially a ZHP owner! I'll post better pictures when I get a chance.
