ZHP Newb here!

[anm3itbe]

Hello mafia memebrs!

**Pics added on pg. 3 if you're interested.**

I've been lurking your forums for a few months now and cannot believe how helpful and understanding the community is here. I'm looking forward to becoming more active on here and becoming an expert on these cars. I just purchased my ZHP about a week ago and I'm loving it so far. It's a completely different animal than my e36 M, but it fits my lifestyle a whole lot better at this point. There are definitely a few areas of concern that I need to address in terms of maintenance in order to get her to 100%. Look out for my thread in the mechanical/troubleshooting subsection

I've been an active member on bimmerforums for about 5 years now, but not much e46, let alone zhp support on that site. Time to join the mafia! Do I get more points for being Italian & Sicilian?

Here are some photos of my ZHP (I purchased it from Yenera, who posted on a FS thread on this forum. I haven't had time to take pictures myself, so I'm using the photos he used in his flickr).

Here are some pictures of my 95 M (which is for sale by the way). Right now it actually sits about an inch lower than these photos. It no longer has the spoiler or the front splitters. This car when through a few phases, but I stuck with the stance for the majority of the time I've owned it.

Welcome! I don't see the pics of the ZHP?

Thanks! I know, I felt bad without having my own pics of the zhp, but I haven't had time to bring it to a nice spot yet. For now I just have a link with the pictures that were taken of the car before I bought it.

[Mtnman]

Welcome. GLWS, and need some pics of that ZHP!

Welcome. GLWS, and need some pics of that ZHP!

Thanks dude! I'm going to try to conjure some up this weekend if it's nice.

I know its an old intro thread, but I said I'd have pcs and I finally do! Did a quick handwash at dusk and snapped a few with my iphone. Ill start a new thread elsewhere when I start the modding process ;).

Thanks Kevin. Yessir it is. Not sure whose it was, but I'm a Saab lover as well so I drooled a bit.

[RITmusic2k]

Wicked. Not to threadjack too hard, but this was my baby before I bought the ZHP:

Jesus that thing was fast.

[johnrando]

I know you loved that Saab Kevin!

[CERF04ZHP]

Tom, love your car, obviously... especially the body-matched side moldings... nice touch.

Nice man! Yeah those cars are torque monsters. Unbelievable the power they make for like zero dollars.

Thanks Channing, feelings mutual. That was actually the PO's doing. But I agree, I think it's a nice touch.

hahaha, I'm done with them coupes for a while. Needs me some room.
