It can be a fickle market, though. A neighbor of mine just snagged a pristine one for $12,000. It’s like a treasure hunt out there!
Haha, more like a scavenger hunt sometimes! I think it depends on how badly the seller wants to move it. Patience is key!
Patience is definitely key! I’ve seen some that were priced at premium but sat unsold for months. Timing can make all the difference.
Exactly! Plus, if you see a listing that seems too good to be true, be cautious. Sometimes they aren’t what they seem.
Also, check forums and enthusiast groups. Often, members sell directly to each other, and you might get a fairer price without dealership markup.
I’m currently driving a 330Ci ZHP and the handling is fantastic! It feels like the perfect blend of performance and comfort. The engine is so responsive, especially with some intake upgrades.
Totally agree! The steering feedback is sharp, making it super engaging to drive. How does it compare to your previous BMWs?
I had a 330Ci ZHP before switching to an E92 M3. While the M3 is obviously faster, I miss the pure driving dynamics of the E46. It feels like a more involving experience.
That’s exactly how I feel! The E46 has character that’s hard to replicate. What modifications did you find best for performance?
For mods, I highly recommend a good exhaust system and a software tune. It truly wakes up the engine’s potential without going overboard. Plus, it sounds incredible!
Nice! I’m also curious, any handling upgrades you’d suggest? I’ve heard sway bars can make a difference.
Yes! Upgrading the sway bars definitely improves body control during spirited driving. It complements the car’s already fantastic balance. You’ll notice a big difference!
Sounds promising! I’ve always appreciated how well the ZHP handles corners. How does it hold up on longer trips?
Surprisingly comfortable on long drives! The seats are plush and it doesn’t feel too harsh like some sportier setups. Just plan for fuel stops since it can be thirsty on the highway.
That’s good to hear! I’ve seen people debating if the ZHP is worth the price compared to newer models. Thoughts?

I think it absolutely is! The ZHP has a unique charm that newer models lack. Plus, it’s often more affordable to maintain if you’re handy with basic repairs.
