Too bad this isn't a 6MT. I'm going to Midlo this week.

Love the color combo. I am in the market for an i with AT, so I'd love some intel on this one.

I am about 1.5 hours away from Richmond. If you want me to check it send me a pm

I'm going to be about 10 feet away from this car on Saturday (if I'm not picking up my ZHP), and I have seen this car 8-10x a year for at least 5 years.

Every time I see his car it makes me want a ZHP. It's probably responsible for the first one, and for the one I'm about to get. If it were 6MT I would have already called my FIL to tell him to hold it.

From the checkout thread:
No need to check it out, IMO. I would buy it in a heartbeat. The house shown in the background is my in-laws. This guy is a edit:LAWYER. His wife is a doctor.

It is probably not meticulously cared for cosmetically, as evidenced by the brake dust and curb rash on the 135s, but I doubt VERY seriously that it ever went anywhere except to Richmond BMW, and that everything ever needed was done without a raised eyebrow. The dude is loaded, a family man, and drives it extremely GENTLY.

If you want to see something specific, I can walk over this weekend. If this car was a 6MT you would be SOL though, because I'd be getting it.

BTW I added the Vin to the zhp registry

Im interested in this one, will the front bumper snap back in place or are the clips broken?
What kind of tires does it have and how much life left in em?
Does it need the 80k service?
How old is the battery?

You'll need to reply to the ad and contact the owner, this is just a link to the ad on another sight.

Thank you, i thought the seller posted this.
Maybe you can help with a different question though.
If i had to replace the control arms or bushings, how do i go about finding those parts specific to the ZHP, it is my knowledge that the stock 330i uses regular while the ZHP is stiffer? But part websites do not specify. Do i buy M3 bushings?

Someone with more experience should chime in on that, but I would start a thread in a different section to ask the question as your more likely to get an answer somewhere else. Although you should be able to find the answer with a search as well.

M3 FCAB will not work on an e46 non-M.

Best way to find part numbers specific to your car is go to:

www.realoem.com

And enter the last 7 digits of your VIN.
