Greetings from Boston

[tunamelt]

Hi All,

I started lurking here last week, which is about the same time I realized that my 323i with 182k might not last forever, despite the fact that she drives like an absolute champ right now.

After giving consideration to just about every car on the road that could be obtained for less than $30k, I keep coming back to the e46... It checks all the right boxes. I'm thinking I'd like to try out a coupe next. Not quite ready to buy, but a late model ZHP, 6MT, xenons, leather, service records, and <90k would be the ideal.

Seems like I should be able to find one for $15k - $17k, right?

[Alphatek45]

Absolutely yes. Take your time and land the coupe of your dreams!

[Marcus-SanDiego]

Welcome.

Yep. You'll be able to find a ZHP with that budget and with less than 90k miles.

I hope you find what your looking for, and I would keep the 323I as the dd.

Welcome to the Mafia! It's good not to be in a hurry. Take your time with the search and be really thorough about it.

Welcome to the Family.

Sounds like a solid plan.

That's ZHP territory right there!!!!

Welcome to the family!

Welcome

[tunamelt]

Thanks for all the greetings.... Definitely psyched about the prospect of getting into a ZHP, but glad I don't have to pick one tomorrow. It's an interesting time to see what's for sale and talk about the market. THis seems like the place to be for that kind of thing!

[Marcus-SanDiego]

TM, you definitely found an excellent forum. The members here are knowledgeable, considerate, extremely giving, and friendly. It's a winner.

We're glad to have you.

Welcome to the Mafia, TM. Glad to hear you're looking at e46's and possibly a ZHP.

Any pics of your 323 to share?


Blackberry. Sweet! Tapatalk. Dude!

I saw this one on the Boston craigslist recently, pretty much checks all your boxes. You should take it for a ride.

EDIT: oh and welcome to the Mafia.

Yup, saw that one. I emailed the dealer. I'm wary of buying any e46 without service records, especially one coming up on 100k, but I think I will check it out anyway.

Welcome to the family. :hi

Very good advice. :thumbsup

I did something similar but kept my ///M3 for the occasional nice day drives and have my ZHP for my dd...:biggrin

[johnrando]

Welcome. Pick out a good one! :)

Welcome. Good luck with your searches. You have a solid plan.
