Who bought 1M at Bob Smith Calabasas?

I believe someone just bought my car at Bob Smith Calabasas. I was hoping to find the new owner and see if he is interested in the shirt that goes with that VIN. I bought the shirt and never wore it, still in the box. I think it should go with the car. If anyone knows, shoot me a PM or let him know how to find me. I also have the front license plate frame they can have if they want it.

Thanks

It's a AW no option 1M VIN ...76305

I bought the soccer dad special. 2003 330i ZHP 6 MT. Mystic Blue / Alcantara. Flew to Rhode Island last week and drove it back to San Diego. Not quite as special as 1M but I feel the e46 Zhp is a really cool daily driver. I still have a spot for a 1M or M2. But right now I have a couple of young soccer stars to focus on! : )

I miss the 1M but its not all bad. I can actually go a week without stopping for gas, no one is trying to race me, I can park it wherever without worry and not having a car payment takes the edge off. One thing I have rediscovered is throttle response. While you don't need diaper changed after driving the old E46, the throttle response when you are in the power band is thrilling. Where the skill in driving the one was managing torque and wheel spin, you can freely wind out the ZHP and it rewards you with instant throttle response. It actually "hits" you into the seat if you mash the throttle with a sort of "thunk" then I builds power progressively. Very different from the 1M but so far it does a great job at being fun and practical. I will be back one day though!!!

I still have my 1M its just passing 4000 miles now. I sold my Subaru STi and bought a 2004 330i ZHP Sedan for my daily driver. I agree the ZHP is a great car with a very nice engine. I love the sound of the M54 engine.

Yeah, I saw your ZHP and it inspired me. 4 doors and the perfect family car for a car nut. It's true also, in the 1M you mostly heard the exhaust note, in the ZHP you hear the engine. Anyway, I hope to hang around here and be back in the fold soon!

LOL!

Are you serious, you could've bought it for 15K less from me!

Maybe it's not sold yet! I saw it drop off and thought it was sold.
