Hey guys. As a former ZHP owner ( and will own one again) It's great to have a place to connect with the special breed of BMW owners. ZHP's rock. I may never forgive myself for letting my beloved ZHP go. At least I know where she went.

Maximus, welcome to the forum.

You were crazy for selling that car. It was a beauty. And you will forgive yourself because you're going to get another one.

Hope to see you on the site. You have a lot of ZHP knowledge (especially since you owned one for 5 years).

Yes, I did the M package. However, I did remove the run flats and M rims and replaced them with Hankooks and a set of stock 135 rims. This car is really fun, but a ZHP it isn't. The 330Ci was by far the best car I have ever owned.

Jeff, I still like the red on red with this car. Great look.
Maximus57

I see you replaced the reflectors on the bumper. Great look. Your car, IMO, is still the best looking combo ever. I'm on the hunt for an M3, Interlagos Blue with Lemon interior.
Marcus-SanDiego
12-20-2010, 07:56 PM
Yeah. Cleaned it up a little bit.

Good luck on the hunt. I'm pretty sure I've seen that combo before. Rare.

That car is friggin' awesome. Why don't you like it as much as your former ZHP? Were they both auto?

The 330Ci (Marcus-SanDiego now has it) handled better than the 135i. The ZHP was manual, my 135i has DCT. The DCT is fun for awhile. The DCT is really slick.

The 135i handles much better without the RF's. I'm going to go with a larger front rim and tire this summer. Possibly a tune as well. I'm still considering the 1M. The HP in it is not overly impressive, but the body styling is awsome.

So, you used to own MSD's ZHP? My hat is off to you at expertly maintaining that ride. Well done.
Marcus-SanDiego
12-21-2010, 07:22 AM
Yes. I now own Jeff's old ZHP. It is a beauty. Very well maintained.

If I would had a winter car or truck, that ZHP would have been mint condition with low miles. I have one now. My 135i will never see snow.

And then I would have had to pay even more for this beauty. Haha.

Glad to hear that you've grabbed another car for the snow, J.

Sadly, I have not been driving the ZHP very much of late. I have not driven it since Thanksgiving day. It will be getting out this Friday, though, for a Christmas Eve get together.

Marcus-SanDiego
12-21-2010, 02:57 PM
Yeah. I have put 1200 miles on it, I think, since I brought it home from Colorado during the summer.

You guys are a hoot! What great place to hang out with a bunch of "Good Fellas" haha My wife is Italian and I was personally welcomed to the "Family"

I found this on Bimmerfest. The 330Ci was a ZHP (Looks like a ZHP in the photo)
Looks like it was an option in Canada anyway. BMW 330ci w/SMG

That is likely the M Clubsport. They got the ZHP aesthetics but none of the performance upgrades. ZHP was a US option. M Clubsport was Canada/Europe option.
Maximus57
12-21-2010, 06:38 PM
Damit! I thought I was onto something. Still checking around. I'm probably going to give on this one. I would have known for sure when I ordered the 330Ci, if I would have chosen that option and was denied. But, good thing I didn't.
Marcus-SanDiego

Jeff, no worries, pal. The ZHP with SMG is a unicorn.
