Hello! Every once and a while you come across a car that is too good to pass up when you least expect it. I did drive a 325i 5-speed MT grey-green sedan w natural brown leather.

Sometime last week I came across a 330i ZHP and took it for a test drive. Turned out to be a 50 mile test drive. Followed by another 25 mile test drive with the family. Needless to say, by Thursday I signed on the dotted line for:

2005 330i ZHP / Imola Red / 6 MT / Premium Package (wood and black leather) / Navigation / BlueTooth / Xenon / Alarm / Sunroof / HK Sound / Folding Rear Seat / Rain sensing wipers. 66,000 miles.

Looks like it came right off the show room floor - leather smells and feels like new / no dents, dings or chips. Took it for a buyers check. The only thing the mechanic came up with was a fuel filter and a brake flush.



I'm pleased!

Welcome. The wood trim isn't original; someone with a non-ZHP E46 probably swapped theirs for the cube trim.
