My name is Pat and I'm a 3-time BMW owner, the latest of which is an '05 ZHP coupe. (purchased in August of 2011) I've been a ZHPMafia member for about a year now - a "lurker," I must admit - and I'm just now working up the gumption to make my presence known. I visit ZHPMafia frequently, and have learned a great deal here over the course of the last year. (today, for instance, was my first go at changing the car's oil myself, and the forum proved very helpful in this regard)
I very much like my car. It's "Monaco Blue," and I recall from elsewhere on the forum that only a handful (less than 10?) were ever made in that particular color:

The car is equipped with the 6-speed manual transmission, black leather seats, and silver cube trim. It's tallied just over 78k miles as of today, and is still very spry. Other "notables" include a variety of Dinan upgrades, all of which were installed by the previous owner. These include Dinan exhaust, throttle body, cold air intake, and front/rear strut braces. The car is my daily driver, and (as I mentioned) the third in a succession of three BMW's, having been preceded by a '97 328is and an '01 530i.
I think it's really great that the founders of this website had the presence of mind and drive to create it, as it's an invaluable resource and a great venue for sharing information and anecdotes with other ZHP owners. I count myself as fortunate for having discovered it.
