muthaf#!&!n' ZHP gangsta! ...now that I am part of the mafia. No other gang affiliations at this time.
After having to crash my first 330 into a small domestic vehicle (story @ 11) I somehow discovered the existence of the ZHP variety. When the other driver's insurance ponied up the funds, I went for it. 2004 330i ZHP, Titansilber, all original/stock, and grew up in Texas before moving to California. I immediately had to drop $1400 at the shop and have been finding little things here and there that need correcting, however, as something like an M3 would likely get me into more trouble than I need, I am very happy with this car.
I was a bit suspicious of the seller, but a later speed test at 142 mph more or less confirmed I had a ZHP, to me. The first 330 would cut off about 135.
Over the last couple years I have abused this poor thing, on several occasions putting more than several hundred pounds on the OEM roof racks, once about 600lbs, off-roading, and for the most part generally pushing the engine wherever I go.
As I've explained to Dane, I am here for mental support in the quest to return my ZHP to a state much closer to the first day she drove the streets, and to offer mental support to those in need.
I've become a bit of a DIYer now that I feel more comfortable with the nuances and innerworkings of BMWs, and will likely perform any work I can given I have the right tools and equipment to do so.
Currently I live in the Antelope Valley and commute to North Hollywood on weekdays for work via Angeles Forest Hwy and Big Tejunga Canyon - probably one of the best commutes I can think of for a ZHP.
Looking forward to shooting the shit with all you other bozos!
Cheers!
