That's a nice looking car, IMO.

Gagging at the moment. That's a color I expect on a mid-2000's Camry, not a BMW...

I actually like the colour. I think it's gorgeous. Fairly reasonably priced, too.

looks like an M-Sport (rounded exhaust tips, leather wheel and shift boot).

"Gold package".

Is that factory? Wow.

Could be a ZAM (Canadian-market ZHP). Can't tell without the VIN.

I think it's an individual-package colour.

Car dealers usually call that color "mold gold" or "stick-around brown" because cars that color don't sell quite as quickly as other colors. Yes, I'm understating.

Even if a guy likes the color, I'd probably want to spend at least a grand less than the asking price because you'll probably get dinged on the other end. The pool of interested in parties will most certainly be smaller for a car like this in that color.

It's hard for me to wrap my head around a person who is interested in this car, but also in that color, and so much so they special-order it. Not even Merc, Lexus or Cadillac has had colors like that in the last 10 years - not that I can remember anyway. Like somebody said, it's more along the lines of mid-90's Camry. Maybe they went from a late-90's Lexus with the gold package or something.

Wow, is right.

Cheers,

A proper paint job is well north of 5k if you want to do it right. It's not worth it.

Yeah thats why I said I'd paint it. I have access to a paint booth.

Doubt it. The trunk lid, bumper, and both rear quarter panels were $4k for my friend's E36 M3.

It is a rare one of a kind BMW according to this link: http://www.zhpmafia.com/forums/showthread.php?1789-Frequently-Asked-Questions-(FAQ)-About-the-BMW-E46-330-ZHP-Performance-Package-Option

I am interpreting the link as saying there was one (1) gold 6MT with black leather interior manufactured for the Canadian market. It would be a good car for a BMW collector or better still for a ZHP Mafioso looking to have a one of kind ride.
