What You Get: The BMW 3-Series has been the definition of the small luxury sports sedan for over thirty years, and for good reason. The early-'00s cars, known by their in-house E46 designation, cover all the bases: a powerful and sonorous engine, exceptional handling and braking, everyday usability, impregnable build quality, and tasteful design.

Hahahahah I saw this yesterday on Jalopnik and immediately thought about this forum.

And that's not even the ZHP.....

Interesting pricing on the '05 330 at $36K. To give an example of the range, an '06 ZHP Vert has a sticker of over $50K but you could likely get it in the high $40s. I don't imagine an '05 ZHP Vert would be that far behind. It makes a 330 sound like a steal, but $36K was a lot of money back then, and still is. (I didn't buy mine new).

I had no idea they were that expensive!

And like BP, I prefer to buy used.

Back in 2005, I bought my 2 year old car with 40K miles on the used car lot for $36,000CAD before taxes. :(

my 04 330i has a MSRP of $43k with the ZHP package as the main big option. got it for less than half of that 3 years ago.

I'm not really sure. One way is to find a car very similar to yours and see if that person knows the original price... that how I found out mine.

Always buy used haha

[midlandtech]

Thanks to Derbo I now know that my cars MSRP was 43,070 and it was purchased on my birthday in 2004... coincidence? I think not

[johnrando]

Thanks Derbo! I already knew my car was born in March, same birthday month as me (like midlandtech), but it's good to know what the MSRP was... always wondered.
