good afternoon all. Just wanted to introduce myself to the forum. I am not new to BMW's, having bought my 1st '93 325ia in '96. The wife & I fell in love with the 'ultimate driving machine' & the rest is history. Our latest addition is the '05 330ciC Mistic Blue w/ZHP option & only 25k miles, as of last Sat. This car showed up on autotrader & after investigating & discovering the ZHP option, I decided to contact the dealer in Fl. that listed the car. After a weekend of negotiating via phone & text, gave him a credit card deposit over the phone, got a plane ticked & flew down to inspect & test drive. Three hours later, I was driving the 700 mile return trip to Asheville, NC. This may sound crazy, but this is the 6th bimmer that I have bought this way. Here's a 'family' picture from a year ago.

The white 325ic has since been sold.
I live in one of the best places in the USA for driving the bimmers, Western NC. The Blue Ridge Parkway is just 3-4 miles from the house, plus so many beautiful mountain roads. Come on down & experience the Tail of the Dragon some time. I am also the Asheville area co-coordinator of the BMW CCA Tarheel chapter. Please come by & join us for dinner the last Tuesday of each month.
I do most all my own maintenance, from oil changes to clutch jobs & top end rebuild. I just figured out how to remove the crazy screen in the brake reservoir today so I could remove most of the old fluid before pressure bleeding the brakes.
Thank you for allowing me to share the ZHPMafia forum. I hope that I can share as much information as I gain here.
