BMW 330 ZHP Prices -- How Much Did You Pay?

[JJR4884]

Purchased at the end of March 2022 after needing to replace my other e46 after 16 years of ownership

2004 330i
Imola Red over Tanin
6spd
129,500
$12,200

Notable Items:
Rims near perfect condition, brand new tri-stitch alcantara steering wheel, brand new shift knob, brand new battery, brand new tires, extra complete black interior (w/ M3 front seats,) brand new center console, near new center armrest, brand new windshield, near flawless paint and zero rust, Dinan Stage III package (intake, software, strut bar, throttle body,) interior dash essentially brand new - buttons on radio/hvac felt like they never been pressed.

Actionable items that i took care of within a few very busy weeks:

Seats needed new seatbelt tensioners (took from the M3 seats)
Windshield washer reservoir, wipers, and new windshield cowl installed
Debadge trunk
Paint correction (had surface swirls)
Needed new brakes/pads - happily put OEM rotors with Z23s
Needed both airbag recalls taken care of (this was actually nice since my steering wheel and airbag are now essentially brand new)
Trunk shocks needed a refresh
Driver's side window regulator (came with the car)
Driver's side headlight ballast along with new headlight rubber strips that touch the hood
Front bumper mesh replacement (super faded)
New license plate lights/front corner lights/side blinker lights
Balance/alignment

All in all I'm into her for about $14,000 and she is running near perfectly. A very generous friend gifted me his bluebus so the car is now modernized in the audio/phone category. The only thing left is to re-paint the front bumper since its showing some age.

2003 Silver Gray with black Alcantara. 204k miles. $3000.

Drivable but has damage to rear 1/4 panel and some drivability issues. Stuck in limp mode.

Otherwise, the car seems to have been well cared for. Suspension and steering are tight. Car drives smoothly.

Intend to get it running/driving well and use the drivetrain for a wagon swap.

Watching Craigslist, was at a remote car lot at Friday Harbor in the San Juan Islands WA. Commissioned for sale by owner. Shear luck. Caught a puddle jumper over to the island, bought the car and took the ferry boat back. A bit more then I originally wanted to spend but didn't want to end up kicking myself for not making it happen.

That’s funny, mine also was originally a Florida car, eventually made its way to California (via Virginia and Texas), and is now in WA

Wait, this was sitting in Friday Harbor? I don't think I can even visualize where there's a used car lot there (I've vacationed there since I was a kid)

Who'd of thunk it. Check out the license plate holder! Supposedly an older gentleman bought it online out of California and had it delivered to the island. He said it was to low and to hard to get in and out of so he commissioned it for sale. Lucky find!
