Hi all! Been lurking on here for awhile since purchasing my 2005 330i ZHP back in March '14. Figured now was as good a time as any to post. The ZHP is my first BMW and so far the experience has been excellent. I've learned a lot of great things completing all maintenance work (Brakes, oil, diff/transmission fluid changes, Inspection II, belts/pulleys, etc) myself and with friends made on ZHPmafia. I've attended the Annual reunion on there as well as Bimmerfest East 2014 and countless Cars & Coffee's and DMV group meetups. I attended the 2nd Autocross School through the NCC in May and am looking forward to attending more events this coming Spring/Summer!
Happy Holidays to all!

Here is some info and pictures of my car over the past year:
2005 Imola Red/Black Leather 330i ZHP 6MT
Purchased March 2014 w/ 58k miles
All E46 options packages
1 owner California car bought from BMW of Fremont where it was sold new, by a BMW tech in Knoxville, owned for 2 months there before being listed for sale on ZHPMafia. Sent deposit and scheduled a PPI the day it was posted after having looked for 6-7 months. Girlfriend and I drove down to "take delivery" and had a wonderful drive home. That first drive was one of my favorite car memories to date. Nothing like an 8 hour drive through the Appalachians to get acquainted.Only modifications to date have been the BMW Performance gloss black kidney grills, removing the Clutch Delay Valve and adding a clutch stop. Looking to add a Limited Slip Differential whether by swapping for the M3 rear end or through Diffsonline. But am going to attend more driving events beforehand before committing to either. She's awesome enough as she is.
