Had a meeting with bp today. He got a chance to experience the new car. Best thing is he didn't leave anything on my seats from the excitement.

Yeah I still can't believe I only had the Zhp for three years. I do have to say thank you to everyone on the forums for making it happen for me. I really couldn't manage owning a car like this without all your help. To me the Zhp will always live in my heart and if anyone has any questions feel free to reach out. The f80 is a amazing work of art however the way I had my Zhp setup was just a like a little pup with a nasty bite. The f80 just mature it to a full wolf which was a wonderful upgrade. Cheers to all and Merry Christmas.

That's one hell of a Christmas present, eh? Congrats!
It's trash. Trade it in immediately. It has headlight washers. Pffft....

Well done Tony, and congrats. Merry Christmas buddy. You worked for that car. Take care of it.

Hey, that car looks very familiar... Good stuff, Tony!
Envious for sure. Looks awesome!
Last photo looks like your car pulled a Tony Montana and did a lot of blow.
I see what you did there... :shiftyQuote:

161409 miles oil change
so how many miles did you put on it now Tony? lol
Well the bike has about 4k miles on it.
M3 has about 15k already. Less than a year.
ZHP probably only got like 1k since I got the M3.
I total probably close to 30k a year.

Good catch Tony.

"ZHP is a garbage option anyway- just some cosmetic upgrades with a different cam and diff to claw back some of the performance lost fitting those hideous and heavy wheels. Any 330 with a 3.46 diff will smoke a ZHP every time. The whole Mafia thing reeks of childish behavior." - anonymous E46 fanatic
Quick update is my dealer has about 5 sport airbags coming in and the Zhp will be having it done in about a week or two. If anyone else live in the western mass area please pm me so that I can arrange to have one held for you as well.

Placeholder for clutch replacement.
So my clutch went out about 6 months ago while I was on my way driving back from NYC. I had to get the vehicle towed off the highway and then towed all the way home. It was an easy 6 hour day with towing and waiting. I had originally tried to take the transmission off and couldn't get the tranny bolts off without applying way too much force as I didn't have the right tools to brace the transmission and align it with the engine while trying to take it off. I ended up burrow an engine hoist to actually remove the front end of the car and pull everything out altogether. It was much easier imo to do that as it only took about an hour to take off and remove the engine/transmission from the car. The vehicle had about 186500 miles on it when the clutch went.

As you can see I eventually got the tranny bolts off and had to rethread the holes to make sure the bolts went in and out smoothly. The clutch was completely toasted. I ended up ordering parts from FCP euro. It was my first time doing a clutch job and honestly, it was a great time to get a better understanding of how the transmission and clutch worked. Total cost ended up being around $900 dollar in parts including some other additional stuff I needed to do to the vehicle.

I just ordered the new eonon unit this past weekend. It's a great deal considering it's only $277.00 shipped. I had one of the first eonon units when they first came out and was looking for an upgrade. Couldn't really pass up this deal to actually have it integrated with my google pixel 2. I will update everyone once I have it and installed. The deal ends at midnight tonight on the 26th.

Great job with the clutch! It's not an easy task to tackle.
I didn't know that you still keep ZHP. For some reason, I thought that it was gone after you purchased M3.
