2005 sedan - 171,589. I would guess that 5k miles will be a good estimate.
2005 Mersedes Sprinter camper van - 235,651. I will say it will be 2k since I am planning to put it for sale in spring of this year.

Starting mileage: 86,666 miles
Estimated mileage in 2022: 7,500
The zhp is in SD rn, and I’m in Seattle, so I have to guess it’s mileage.
Zhp:
currently 113k || guess 7.5k
Will be driving it quite a bit in the San Diego and LA areas til March, then driving it back up the PCH to Seattle, where I’ll garage it for a month before alternating it as a daily again.
2013 VW Tiguan S:
currently 62k || guess 6k
We got this one in 2015 as a CPO with 11k miles.
2001 Honda CR-V SE:
Currently 232k || guess 8k
Bought this one in 2019 as my beater to get me to Indiana and back, but I grew an affection for it and aim to restore it, turn it into an over lander even.

Not expecting any major road trips this year like I have the past few years so I should be able to have a decent estimate.
2018 Toyota RAV4: currently 72K, estimate: 10k
2005 330ci ZHP: currently: 141k, estimate: 5k (hopefully less)
2005 330i ZHP: currently: 107k, estimate: 2k (hopefully more, currently not running)
Ideally I'll get the sedan running and make that my daily, then detail the coupe and put it up for sale, but we'll see what 2022 brings!
Let’s get this restarted; what I know now that won’t change.Quote:

M235i: 22,096-20,240=1,856 guess 2,800 so 944 miles short
4Runner: 18,471-5,342=13,129 guess 10,000 so 3,129 miles over
240 Sun Deck: 122.4-104.5=17.9 guess 30 so 12.1 hours short
This was actually pretty close with total miles over guess only being 1,426 miles with the most on the DD 4Runner

I ended at exactly 91,000 miles as I pulled into the driveway my friend's beach house on the Oregon Coast.Quote:

I chalk that inaccuracy up to having no clue as where I would land for residency and what that would look like in terms of driving.

Peterman's touring is running great and makes me happy driving it. Oil consumption increased recently. Rust is slowly growing on various places. Otherwise, it is great.Quote:

Here are the two rust buckets on the first day I bought M3.
How is life in CA? I see you also like biking?
Here is my stress relief tool, calories burner and Sunday morning joy tool.

Nice Cannondale! How do you like those Zipp wheels? Not planning to swap out of my Schimanos any time soon, but have never ridden a bike with the deeper section aero wheels
Glad to hear it's running well! Sucks to hear about the rust - is the touring really that bad? I was skimming the thread where he had a bunch of paintwork done to it. If not S54 touring, what's the new plan?Quote:

Lately it's been raining a lot, but hoping to get back out next weekend, and there is an abundance of bike lanes and nice roads out here!
I have 45 mm deep wheels (ICAN) and maybe I'm too much of a noob, but I didn't really feel that much difference. Regardless, as a new rider I was blown away by how far I could freewheel on both my old (Mavic Aksium) and new wheels.Quote:

I forgot to say that bike become a tiny bit more comfortable as well.
Glad to hear that you like biking. Weight lifting is not for me.Quote:

I am settled on full S54 touring, minus body work, for sure. That is why I bought that rusty M3. It has been registered and insured in 2022. Last week, I canceled the registration and planning to start taking M3 apart.
Pizza men saw it in person. I think he said something funny about me collecting rust. Which is kind of true. Botond actually drove it for a bit.
I really need to start a thread about this one.....

It's always exciting to hear about updates on the Touring, and I'm glad to know you're still driving and enjoying it. The original build thread was a huge inspiration to me and one of the reasons why I got my own red RWD touring a few years ago to convert to a ZHP. If you've got more info on its current state and the S54 swap you should definitely start a new thread.Quote:

On E46 Fanatics we've been working on a spreadsheet to figure out all the North American touring production numbers, and do a complete option breakdown of every car.
Total production was around 20,500 cars, and VIN code EZ15XXX is for the facelift (2002-2005) tourings w/ RWD and manual transmission. This was the first group we've run through mdecoder to capture all the option content. There were only 738 cars of this spec built of the 754 shown in that range of VINs.
http://www.zhpmafia.com/forums/attac...9&d=1674576910
Breaking down that range even further in the spreadsheet, EZ15717 was one of only 10 built with gloss shadowline trim, and the only one of those that was Japanrot.

Thanks. Yes, the car is mega. I am getting a thumbs-up all the time. I love it a lot! My heart breaks, when I am thinking about retiring it. But that is unavoidable unfortunately.Quote:

anyway. happy to see fellow cyclists here too - i've gotten into it and have done some gravel racing, it's been a huge mental help for me. and, as per my usual tendencies... i have gone a little crazy with builds. :)
sergey - i will send you a PM. :)

Nice to see you back Peter, been a long time!Quote:

Peter :) I find it ironic that I have two silver cars (both coupes) and two blue cars (sedan and wagon). Two naturally aspirated cars (my BMWs) and two twin turbo cars (my Audi and Porsche) :) The garage keeps me busy with the ZHP requiring most of the work this past year. I have made good solid progress slowly restoring my ZHP and fixing all the cut corners and headaches caused by the previous owner.Quote:

Sergy, if you're going to replace your current touring with a replacement touring then transfer all the mods over to the replacement touring, especially the OEM M3 side mirrors... don't make the same mistake I did and not get everything. Of course I let some things go because at that time I did not think I would ever be back in another ZHP. Vas was right . . . we all somehow make our way back to them because they were and still are amazing cars to own and drive no matter the mileage.Quote:

If once you get the ZHP be sure to start a thread and don't keep us in the dark on it :rofl
i wouldn't expect anything less than HAM from you, charlie. ;)Quote:

they definitely are something special. a datum point for BMW. when i bought my Golf R, i was debating between that and a 2018 330iT M Sport. i drove the 330iT and while it was fast and looked the business, it was definitely a letdown in driving dynamics and character. the Golf R is no ZHP in terms of character but it certainly is a rival for The Ultimate Daily Driver and i never once regretted not getting the F31 330iT. it is no ZHP.Quote:

I am not planing to sell it soon. But, if I do and if it will need to be parted out, I will transfer or save all the cool parts that it has.I knew that you're into cycling, but didn't now that you doing gravel racing. After chatting with Peter about bikes, I went to FB to see how much is a cheap set of wheels cost. I am thinking to have a set of gravel wheels. I think that my Cannondale can clear 32mm tires.Quote:
