Just picked up a 03 330i zhp, 6 spd black on black with 42k on the clock, such a dream to drive.

Nice Holmes. You never told me what happened to the E36. I know you had a Mini, but what happened with the E36?

So you plan to come out for some events this year? or is the E46 too good for us? :stickoutt

Congrats on the 330 ZHP. I just adore my 2004 ZHP too! It had been my daily drive for nearly two and half years. To me, this car is really the best of both worlds, manual transmission with sporty feel, and I can take my daughter and her friends in it. This car as a daily driver for me has been the longest daily driving BMW I have kept! That says something!! I drive my '02's only during the Summer months

You sold your Mini already? Damn that was quick. Congrats on the ZHP. Mind if I ask what you paid for it?

yeah I have always liked how they looked, but after driving it, jeez its just a blast, doesn't have the pull my modded 328 did, but it will.

Yeah I sold the e36 to my buddy Tim, he has in in florida, so its getting taken care of and gets to race all kinds of sweet cars in tampa, told me he got toasted by a m6 the other day.

do you drive yours in winter, I was debating how that would work out, i don't really need to because I have a company car, its mostly going to be a garage queen

I traded the mini towards it, I never wanted to trade it, but it was just to hard to sell, everyone wants a gas saver car right now, but they gave me 11for the mini which had 83k on the clock and I paid 19k for the bmw with 42k on it, I think I did alright, it was by far the slowest car at the dealership seeing all the had was lambos, vipers, z06s and ford gts.

Indeed, I drive it in winter. I purchased some inexpense ASA rims and run snow tires on it come Novemberish. My snows were just taken off two weeks ago, and the nice wheels/alloys are back on!!

No meet in particular. As always the schedule is up @ the top. RA has events on Sunday. At the minimum, I'll be up there all weekend for Kohler and for Generac.

If you have Tuesdays free, try to make it out to Pandl's in Bayside
8825 Lake Drive (I43 and Brown Deer Rd - Brown Deer Rd East to Lake)
Tuesday night car show - nice cars, laid back atmosphere, really nice people, great time.

May 13th is the kick off night.

You can click on the link in my sig - it'll take you to the thread with stuff going on.

So yeah. Make it out some time.
