      Glad you made it today! You reminded me again how mad I was when I missed out on those wheels by minutes when they popped up on craigslist years ago haha

        Been driving the car a ton. Just took it to Barrington cars and coffee Sunday and it was a great time apart from the 94 degree weather.

            Sorry, haven’t been on in a while. Been busy driving the car everywhere! Absolutely loving every second of it too. Besides breaking a diff bolt, the car has been solid. Here’s a photo dump from the past week

              Update! I have now put on over 4000 miles this summer so far, and I LOVE it. Every single shift in this car feels and sounds so good. Thinking about doing a track day on the 15th, we shall see.

                  Bought another BMW last week, plan to keep this one pretty stock and just daily and enjoy. Say hello to my 2005 330i ZHP! There were only 36 made in Alpine/black leather/6speed! This car is truly incredible. I think the ZHP might be one of the best all around daily’s bmw ever made? I love it. I picked it all the way up in Atlanta and took a proper detour to the tail of the dragon for a break in. It needs some small stuff here and there cosmetically, but the chassis and drive terrain are in fantastic shape! 
                   

                  already polished the headlights, PPF’d the black pillars, and new knob. (Ignore the giant bug under the kidneys lol)

                    Beautiful! ZHPs just look “right” 

                    what is PPF

                    Partially Purple Feltcovering?
                     

                    I re-glued mine but ended up just pulling the fabric off entirely after some bubbling. Nobody would be able to tell they are naked

                      PPF - paint protection film aka clear bra. Protects the paint and is way more durable than clearcoat so it is much harder to scratch. Also has a built in ceramic coating. 
                       

                      forgot to take an after pic, so went outside quick to take one. They’re dusty right now. But not a scratch on them, and no longer faded!

                        I assumed interior pillars, those things Delaminate and turn into drapes all the time on the E46

                            Great purchase! Mine is my civilized daily though with working from home not getting much use.

                              Took the M3 to Neenah for Udderly Euro this last weekend and had a great time! Ended up taking home Top 20 as well! Lots of really cool builds and some neat BMW's. Highly recommend going next year! IMG0030.JPG

                                  Random photo dump warning. I've been messing around with the Sony mirrorless a lot cruising around in the M3. Here are some photos i've gotten recently.

                                      Who'd you have to slip a $20 to let your car in the dealership?

                                        Actually the BMW genius (guy who shows ppl how to use the tech in the new cars) and a couple salesman offered it to me, I was just there for ZHP parts. They loved the car, one of them has an e36 m3.
