Just saw a tinted Imola red 330i ZHP that was debadged and with a yellow colored background license plate driving down I-40 and got off at exit 285 (RDU) around 11:55. Two people in the car and a guy driving. Couldn't get a picture since I was 2 lanes over.
Speaking of a woman who has no idea what she's driving, I've got another one...
Guys from the office and I went to lunch today. We're leaving the restaurant, and holy crap... It's a ZHP. Now, you guys in the big cities - no big deal, I know. But, here in the sticks, I think I may have only seen a ZHP once or twice - ever - and it was probably this car now that I think about it.
So, I hop out to snap a photo to post here and show the wife. Takes me all of two seconds, but lucky me - the owner just happens to be walking out of the restaurant at the exact instant I'm putting the phone back in my pocket, and of course, it's a woman. She says something along the lines of, "Ummmmm... Why are you taking a picture of my car?" with a very snarky "you're-a-freak" tone in her voice. I can understand, though... Because, you know... If somebody is taking a picture of your car, it could only be because it's a stalker whose next move is to sexually assault you. :rolleyes
I politely say, "Sorry. I'm looking for a car exactly like that one. Nice car!", to which she responds almost as snottily, "Oh, OK." with almost a "yeah right" tone, as if she didn't believe me. I just got back in the car and my buddy drove away.
<personal opinion editorial>Clearly she has no idea what she has other than that it's a BMW. Since she seems to be clueless as to why somebody might be interested in her car, I'm guessing she bought the car to show off. But, then when the car gets some attention, she's bothered by it instead of flattered. Seems somewhat similar to the woman who wears a short skirt or low-cut blouse then gets upset when somebody notices.</personal opinion editorial>
On second thought, it probably wasn't even her car. It was probably her now-husband's car, and she just drives it. Something like that.
The guys in the office have now decided to call me "stalker".
Watch out, people. You wouldn't want to get somebody's panties in a bunch just to post a photo here.
Here I am a big fan of the car, and instead of some camaraderie or respect, I get made to feel like an outcast... Apparently, I'm somehow a deviant because I'd want take a photo of a car. A car.
Geez. Kinda ruined my day in a way.

PS - Since I endured the embarrassment, I may as well post the picture. Enjoy.

Not to mention if she really knew what car she had she wouldn't of park there ;)

But somebody knows something here.....those look like performace rotors on the rear. I cant see the fronts, but arent those rears drilled? And the rims are (relatively) clean. something's up!
Not sure if those are BMW rotors or not. They look like they have a lot more holes than the BMW ones. I could be wrong though.Quote:

hey it could even be her son's car haha... My mom tends to steal my car and drive it sometimes when i'm not around or on the weekends to run errands when i'm ASLEEP!
Y'all may have a ZHP spotting on Google Maps Streetview soon. The Streetview camera car was behind me today on the way home today. :biggrin

Damn, I didn't even notice the rotors. I did notice the removed badging though, which is what led me to second-guess the whole "doesn't know what she has" thing and assume it was her husband's car... Which I now think is definitely the case. De-badged + drilled rotors = definitely not her car.Quote:

The ZHP seems to be pretty scarce in these parts out here in the wild west. Lots of BMW's, but no "special" ones.
Saw a black zhp coupè on route 1 in Maryland. Middle age African-american. Very clean looking Let me tell you its first time I have seen another zhp and the way it moves across the road. Sends tingles down my back. I just hope my currently haggard zhp looks half as good.

Walking along Ardennes Ave in Rockville, MD the other day (Wednesday) on my way home from Metro and saw a silver ZHP sedan. If I heard correctly, your brakes make a clunking sound when you brake. Might want to get that checked out.
We're everywhere. Good looking out.Quote:

Saw a black ZHP coupe last night parked on the street right by the Raleigh amphitheater. Had badges on it. Most likely at the OAR concert?
Well done A.Quote:

^^I've met some of those people (who think we're crazy).
Clean black coupe outside Reale's Italian in north Austin.
Do all the coupes have mirrors with little "fins" on the top? It looked pretty cool.

Yes, I believe all of the coupes/convertibles have the little fins on the mirrors.
not a sighting of zhps, but i was sandwiched earlier today by these two bad boys
the gtr exhaust sound... :drool

Nice. Corner of Newbury and Mass. ave. Love Beantown. I've eaten at the Capital Grille that's right there.
If you want to see any type of exotic car, all you need to do is go to Newbury St. on Saturdays and Sundays. They're EVERYWHERE.
Just saw a silver gray ZHP at the corner of Lincoln and manzanita in Carmichael, ca.
iPad. Tapatalk. Bi-winning.
I saw this Imolarot sedan rolling down Seventh Street South in Minneapolis yesterday on the way home. The driver appeared to be in her 50s, male passenger looked older. They probably thought it strange that someone with the same car would stare at theirs.

Great sighting.
Okay, someone has some 'splaining to do... :foottap
MUST be a member on here, passed right in front of me in my town today......in Maine. Black ZHP Coupe with NJ plates...black grille and tinted windows! The car was gorgeous!
I unfortunately was in a rental Camry :(
Yeah, how is it that someone is in Stathi's town and doesn't hit him up? Should have done a photoshoot at the BMW garage he has!
I know right!Quote:

I spotted this Imola ZHP while I was out this evening. I did a quick u-turn and followed him to his cottage. Ended up talking with the guy for a while. Real cool, laid back kind of guy. This is the pic I snapped of his super sweet car.

Give Dane a hug for us.
Lol. How about a beer instead?
Or a beer.
I can relate to what you posted here....I just got back from a trip out to Iowa....there's barely any BMWs there! I was visiting family in Ottumwa for a week...I could count at least two BMWs other than my M3 while I was there...Quote:

Just signed a contract on my house in MD so we're looking at real estate in Ponte Vedra Beach, FL. First day there I spotted an AW vert, an IR sedan, AND an IR vert! I'm moving to ZHP Mecca!
