* SOLD *

Alright, it's that time. I don't know why exactly, but I've been avoiding coming here to list my zhp for sale... But here it is. I've recently received news that I'll be relocating from the midwest to NYC sometime in the coming months, and as such, I need to part with my baby/ weekend fun car. I've posted the craigslist link in case I left any info out of here.

*I appreciate all genuine interest in the car, but please do not criticize my reasoning behind why I am selling the car(if you saw the reason in the other thread). I'm moving to a less car-friendly city and will be taking my 2006 Subaru STi with me, which I just find myself wanting to drive more than this car. So this is the one I'm choosing to part with.*

To cover the basics, it is a 2005 330i (sedan) with the ZHP performance package, 6MT, jet black with black cube interior, black leather seats, and xenon headlights.
VIN: WBAEV53455KM08120
Mileage: 79,500 miles and it will increase a bit while I say goodbye to the car
Title status: Clean title, no accidents, but has a lien on it through BluCurrent Credit Union
Length of Ownership: I've owned the car since June 2014, my brother owned it before that from February 2010. I've performed all maintenance between the time he bought the car and now that hasn't been done at the dealership.
Car Location: The car is in Springfield, MO currently, but does occasionally make its way up to St. Louis/around other parts of MO if someone local wants to take a look.
Willing to Ship: I don't have any previous experience with this, and would rely on the buyer to arrange for it, keeping in mind that I need the payment ahead of time so that I can get the lien release from my credit union. I am also happy to meet anyone interested in the car at the airport here in town, or if the buyer has any other suggestions, I am willing to hear that out.

Asking price: $14,000 OBO.

Originally, I was going to include several extras with the car. If the buyer is interested in any of these extras, we can talk about the options. In the interest of keeping my price reasonable, I've decided to sell them myself, separately. Buyer will have the choice between the VMR 703 wheels or BMW Style 135 wheels with the car. I personally like the Style 135 wheels more on these cars. Picture of the Style 135 for reference:

I have a spreadsheet I started making with all previous maintenance records in it, but that isn't completed yet.

Here is a list of the maintenance that I can remember that I've performed over the last ~10k miles (most within the last 5k):
Windshield replaced
Water pump replaced
Thermostat replaced
Cabin filter and air filter replaced
Valve cover gasket replaced
Upper and lower intake boots replaced
Both front wheel bearings replaced
MAF replaced
Idler pulley and tensioner pulley replaced
Both belts replaced
Fuel pump replaced
Fuel filter replaced
Coolant expansion tank replaced
DISA tested functioning
Brake system flushed
Cooling system flushed
Alternator replaced
CCV pump and all hoses replaced with cold climate hoses and pump
Oil dipstick tube replaced with new design
VANOS seals replaced
VANOS intake solenoid replaced
VANOS solenoid pistons replaced
Exhaust cam position sensor replaced (with OEM part)
Shift knob replaced

Please let me know if you have any questions about anything to do with the car or its history. I'd really prefer not to get into my personal situation any more than saying: I planned on keeping this car for a long time, and have done everything I could to it to make sure it would last as long as possible, but am now in a position where it should go to a new home.

Good luck! That seems a like fair price to me. The next user might want to respray the bumper but that's not the end of the world.

Thanks, all. I have about a 15 minute commute each way that is part highway driving, and there are a few rock chips on the bottom lip of the bumper, I tried to include those in the pictures. My idea originally was to respray the whole bumper and then have the whole front of the car done in a clear bra. That's one of very few things I still had on my to do list.

Forgot to list that when all of the pulleys and the pump was replaced, the belts were replaced too. And I honestly haven't noticed any ill effects from the O2 sensor. I was still getting about 30 mpg on the highway last time I drove it to and from St. Louis. I also ran an autocheck that I'll try to upload here in a bit, and is also available on my e46fanatics listing right now.

Unfortunately, no. It's going to an independent dealership in St Louis called Bimmers R Us. They made me an offer for the car and both sets of wheels that I don't think I would have gotten otherwise. If the owner doesn't decide to keep it for himself, it'll probably be for sale up there in a few weeks though!

When i was searching for a zhp they had posted an Imola one with 76K on it for $18K. They're like a smaller version of EAG.

Hey, if they want to sit on the car to try to ask that much for it, more power to them. I used their resale pricing to my advantage when I negotiated the sale price. They were actually very nice and polite to talk to. The owner himself was texting me about the car details

Funny thing is that I bought my ZHP with 75,9xx miles on it for $18k... FIVE YEARS AGO, and that is what the car was actually worth. I
