FS: 2005 330i ZHP 6MT - Orient Blue/Sand

[D1ESEL]

ZHP Add

I am regretfully writing this add but sadly it is time for me to move on. I am actually more sad about this than any other car. I absolutely adore this car for some reason and have done everything it has ever needed and more without a single expense spared. I have every single maintenance and add on receipt since brand new. I have all of the original books that come with the car, both window stickers that came with the car, 2 keys, leather key pouch, everything!

Here are the bones on the car. It is a 2005 330i with a 6 speed manual. It is equipped with the Performance Package (ZHP *described below in link*), Cold Weather Package and Premium Package. It just hit 133,000 miles this week and it is just an amazing vehicle. The oil has always been changed as well as spark plugs, cooling system and any other maintenance items that have been called for. I have done a major over haul on the car starting at 119k/January of 2016 so everything listed has been done since then or in more recent time.

I am asking SOLD THIS IS MY ASKING PRICE. THIS IS A NEEDS NOTHING ZHP. You can ask anyone locally about my car. It is probably one of the nicest 0 expense spared ones out there right now.

[BMWCurves]

Very fair asking price, IMO. I know the miles are high-ish, but for a sedan with a manual, both ZPP an ZCW, up to date maintenance, two sets of wheels, good suspension and braking components, and other good OEM+ parts, the next owner will have a great car on his hands.

P.S. drop me a line if you ever consider selling the M3 strut brace separately.

[Jconlin16]

Great car at a great price. This thing is worth every penny. Good luck Chris!

Thank you for so many kind comments though! Hopefully the car will go to a great home.

Flagged for what?

Flagged for what?

Sometimes if a cl post gets spread around and linked it can get flagged for spam. It's a catch 22 for a popular post. It's probably people being dicks or it's a system thing...

NEED this gone by early next week. Winter is coming and I do not want to store it.

Damn, GLWS

If I didn't have mine, I would be all over this.

If I could unload my 335, I'd pick this up.

[BMWCurves]

I can't believe this is still around. The want is strong

[D1ESEL]

So tired of craigslist clowns. A local enthusiast is very interested and it should be down the road tomorrow :)

I will find another ZHP over this winter hopefully and repeat the process I went through on this car. Hopefully it will be Oxford or Alpine :))))

[D1ESEL]

Sold to a local enthusiast/Friend. It's in great hands.

Wait...you sold this and are hopping right back on the wagon?

Don't get me wrong, I love my coupe! It's just that I often drive with friends which means getting everyone into/out of the car is more involved in a coupe than a sedan. It can get irritating when either myself or the passenger in the front has to get out to let out the rear passengers. Also, no matter how careful my friends are, there will be the scuffing on the back of the front seats, door sill, and the rear ashtray/console. All annoyances in the grand scheme of things though.

There are many things I prefer in the coupe over the sedan such as factory LED taillights, adaptive headlights, slightly better exterior aesthetics (IMO), but there are downsides as well, such as angel eyes being better looking on sedans, less worry about scuffing the door trim, easier access to the seatbelt, etc. Despite all this, it'll be either a very dark day or a very bright day that I let my beloved coupe go.

Definitely doesn't hurt haha, although the M3 seats helped lower my seat position about 1/2" compared to my factory seats.

I agree, there are certain aspects in which he sedan is better and vice versa, but One aspect of the sedan that is compelling to me is that there is no 4 door m3 and over the last year or so I've been dreaming about converting a sedan to an m3... I love wrenching on cars and the the s54 swap is a challenge that I want to take up one day... doesn't make sense for a coupe though for obvious reason, can just buy an m3 coupe... will probably make it happen in a few years when I get a house with a garage...

If I were to do an S54 swap, it would be for a touring. But then I'm conflicted because an E46 AWD touring with a big engine is another car I'd love to create.

after i typed my reply i realized that after driving gus' LS2-powered M Sport coupe... an LSx-powered E46 Touring would be pretty sweet, too. :) or a SC'd M54B30.

Nothing wrong with that. For the longest time I associated any wagon with school moms. But then something clicked and I love them. So much utility, and they look great, IMO.

These are EXACTLY the reasons why I don't have an M3 instead of the ZHP. I could've bought an M3 for what I paid for the ZHP, but decided having 4 doors was more important due to the constant passenger factor.

I'm glad I did though - my ZHP sedan is what solidified the personal taste for sedans over coupes for both style and utility, which is good because a coupe just isn't practical for my uses (people and transporting stuff). I'd be screwed if I had gotten used to a coupe. :)
