I'm heading out there next week to visit family and am thinking about picking this car up? It's a bit of a unicorn that ticks all boxes for the next winter car (XWD=way less torque steer than the FWD Aero's, 6MT, wagon, 280hp). It comes with 2 sets of wheels (stock and tasteful A/M wheels) with good tires, owned by a grown up. Slap an ECU tune and a short shifter on it and away you go. It's not the most attractive car I've ever laid eyes on but it definitely is unique. Give me your thoughts RL'ers.
Compared to the 330ci a couple of posts above it's a way more compelling proposition.

That ZHP is dripping in questionable cosmetic mods with no talk of service or maintenance, just comes across like the wrong sort of previous owner (the "Dreaded Previous Owner.") |
A ZHP will typically go for around $11,000 give or take. Makes them extra rare since it was US exclusive. $100 later for a PPI and it may not be so bad (well, after you get rid of all the buddy guy mods on it). To me it seems like the owner doesn't exactly know what he has.
