Took the car out to lunch with some friends at a very nice Italian restaurant in a little town out in the VA countryside. Nice to get out. Saw this car parked out front and had a nice talk with the owners.

Well you now have more miles on the car than messages on this forum....congrats! lol

We have a two car garage...but the only car that ever sees the inside is our Mustang (garage kept by us and my godparents - the original owners - since new in 1964). The other side of my garage holds 6 bicycles as well as a mini fridge (beer & beer making supplies). work bench, stacks of wheels...

I had been keeping up with bushings & control arms and such but probably need to do so again. Its really not so bad though....just in comparison to some of the newer sport cars I've driven. I'll look into steering & driveshaft quibos...though have to admit I don't even know what that is. I've...

I bought my Apex wheels last year through my wheel/tire shop - Radial Tire in Silver Spring MD (can't recommend them highly enough...aside from being track guys and knowing their stuff they gave me an additional discount on the wheels beyond the Apex sale price). They recommended and installed...

Thanks for the concern Bimmerfan. Yeah...trying ordeal and will be a long recovery. But I have amazed my doctors and nurses with the rate of my recovery. I told them I'm a fast healer....but I'm older now....so my claims have been put to the test. I have a deep wound from an abdominal abscess...

Just the other day I vowed to my wife never to sell the ZHP...and thats not the first time I've proclaimed this. To my somewhat surprise she agreed. She loves driving the car (her daily) but 2 years ago was the one saying she wanted a new car which in part spurred my research and interest in...

BimmerFan - like me constantly praising my ZHP (and GTI and prior Audi S4 Avant) we've heard this all before....but appro for the thread and a very nice summary as to why you're not an OG M2 fan....and it all makes sense. I've always had a bit of buyers regret not getting a prior gen M2...

Looks great....one of the very best colors IMO (particularly with those bronze wheels!). Shame its back at the dealership....hope you get it resolved quickly and easily...

I do indeed (still) own a 2004 BMW ZHP and of course a 2024 CT 3 V BW....both are fantastic (driving) cars and I love them both. The ZHP is plenty quick - though not fast per se (compared to "fast" cars of today) but boy is it still a hoot to drive. I just love revving it out....that inline 6...

Back in the day (remember I'm old) there used to be a saying that went something like this - "whats the difference between a 1200hp Supra and a 700 hp Supra? Answer - .1 sec in the 1/4 mile" Issue of course was always traction...

There's actually a few more of us. I met a 5 V BW owner (not on the forum) a few months back who attends Katie's C & C. I've never done so but will try to get my A up early enough one of these Sundays...

I feel your pain. It took me forever to source my Alpines a little over a year ago. My guess is that it might be easier to find them this summer....but unsure of continuing availability. Not ideal. I agree that the Alpines or Sotozeros seem the best options performance wise. Good luck!

Like you I really wanted the bronze wheels (on my CT 4 V BW)....but were not on the car I ended up purchasing new from a lot in Atlanta. I purchased some very nice Apex bronze wheels for my summer tires and used the OEM graphite wheels for my snows. I would advise you to try to source some...

Got to say I really love those high revving V8s. The only modern Mustang I truly lust for is the S350 and there is something to be said for those Lexus V8s as well. That being said I'm also a believer in forced induction (though get what you say WRT killing the soul a bit.....still...). I've...

agree...V8 would be awesome of course...but I'll take the feel/maneuverability with the turbo 6 over the V8...assuming its better in that regard (and I think it is). Tradeoffs...tradeoffs...nothing is ever perfect....but what a damn good car it is...

I don't mind the burbles in wide open and I think the engine/exhaust sound pretty good and have no real complaints. That being said the Corsa exhaust and those that Tapout has modded sound even better IMO....more aggressive befitting the sporty nature of the car. Do I need it - probably...

I get it. Sure a V8 with all that goes with that would be great. But at the same time there were a variety of reasons they chose the TT V6 and they make sense. Not sure how much - if any - weight difference....but the 6 sits back of the front axle and this makes a tremendous handling...

The few times we've taken our 4 BW out with adults in the back seat I've always apologized for the lack of room in the back and feel self conscious about it. In every case our passengers have said it was fine even after the drives...though on occasion they have requested we move our front seats...

I kind of agree....though still a bit of an Audi fanboy. Unfortunately, no MT also means that they are kind of dead to me....at least for wanting to own and drive one. I do miss my quatro though....what can I say...
