Car: BMW 330Ci w/ZHP Performance Package
Year: 2005
Color: Imola Red
Mileage: 81k


Been considering selling my 330Ci. It's a super clean example that I actually flew all the way to Philadelphia to pickup. I have a binder full of maintenance records; it has been maintained meticulously, which is the reason I flew to Philly to pick it up.


It's not crazy modded, but it does have the following on it, which is worthy of noting:

H&R Coilovers (Height adjustable, but NOT dampening adjustable)
Hotchkis front and rear sway bars
Supersprint X Pipe (Little more growl, but still pretty quiet... awesome for daily use imho)
OEM 135i wheels
Extra set of BMW wheels with snow tires
Black kidney grilles with red surrounds
CSL rep front splitters


I don't really need to sell the car by any means. I've seen a car that I'm somewhat interested in, so I decided to put the ZHP up for sale. If that particular car sells, if I drive it and it's not what I thought, or if my car doesn't move quickly, I'm not going to be terribly concerned with it. I'm perfectly happy keeping it, as the car is in awesome shape. It's honestly been one of the best daily drivers I've ever had (and I'll probably regret getting rid of it later, but such is life, ha!). The car has averaged just over 23 MPG in the time that I've owned it, with a best of 26.6 MPG. With the snow tires, it's an amazing car to drive in the snow--no issues whatsoever.


The only real issue the car has is that the airbag light pops on from time to time. It typically remains off if I'm by myself in the car or if the passenger has been sitting in the car for a while, which leads me to believe it may be related to the weight sensor in the seat. I honestly haven't had the car diagnosed, though, so I am unsure of what the actual issue is.

Below are some pics of the car. You can see more here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/85977901@N00/collections/72157625531219059/

WOW!! I cant believe this is the first ZHP that i feel in love with, this is the car that made me love ZHP's. I remember the guy selling it on bimmerforums.com, i was going to buy it but it was in PA.

Dude where are you located and how much are you willing to sell it?

No kidding. I would love to get that for him.....but he's going to VMI in a couple of months. He won't have a life after that, and will probably forget what a Bimmer is,,,hehe

If you guys know anything about Matt (the previous owner), he maintained this car well while he owned it. Probably detailed this car more than any ZHP owner I know. He was beyond anal.

Do you know what state this car currently lives in Marcus? I know a guy with an imola sedan that details his car comparable to this guy probably.

Pete's phone number is Missouri. This car was previously in Pennsylvania.

This looks really clean and it has been tastefully modded, GLWS. What's next?

Yep, Pete is in Kansas City. He's a good friend of mine and I can vouch for his honesty. He really likes the ZHP but a low-mileage hard-to-find car came up for sale on a local forum that he really wants. If interested, the best thing to do would be to text or call him.

Thanks, Mike. I figured it must be something like that.

Sorry for the lack of replies guys! I don't check the forum very often!

Mike is right, I am located in Blue Springs, MO (part of the greater KC area). Also, you are correct in that Matt is the previous owner of the car and it came from PA. I flew up in December and drove it all the way back to KC... was a fantastic (and comfortable!) journey.

My choice to sell the ZHP (if I go through with it) is purely a financial one. I love the car, but I just bought an FD RX-7 and am already realizing that i want to start dumping money into it, so it seemed logical for me to get a less expensive daily driver... Found a low mileage Integra Type R here locally that would save me $, get better gas mileage, etc., so that I could still have a fun car to drive, but reduce some debt.

The ITR I was eyeballing may possibly be sale pending, though, which means I may be rocking a ZHP a bit longer. It's just one of those situations where I really don't need to sell her, but if it goes, I'd be willing to part with her.



As Mike mentioned, if you're interested in the car, it would probably be easier to email me or call/text @ 816-679-4234. Thanks guys!
