Other information:
ZHP passed emission after a retune in Oct 2018. It failed in 2017 because original Supercharger injectors were leaking causing check engine light. This was fixed with new Bosch EV1 injectors and TRM retune to match these injectors. Car gets 27MPG at 75 mph highway.
ZHP is my backup track car so it has been used on track 12 times. After each track event, it gets new oil and filter changes.
Mobil 1 European car formula 0W40 engine oil
Redline transmission and differential oil
BMW blue coolant with distilled water and water wetter added
Car was dynos with 283HP at the rear wheel. Approx. 310 crank HP
VERY SMOOTH power and torque curves. No dips as the revs build. See dyno chart
AC blows ice cold- 38 deg at center vent on max cold. See picture, Heat is HOT
2 master keys- both coded to lock, unlock doors, trunk, open and close sunroof and windows, fold unfold mirrors
Added rear seat center pass thru if you need to haul long objects.
Headliner in excellent condition- no sagging
Cons:
A, B, C pillar fabric peeling- common e46 issue
Headlight self-leveling does not work because left headlight housing is a halogen light housing due to supercharge intake tube requirement
Both left and right quarter panel edge has metal and paint damage from previous owner trying to DIY fender rolling.
Stone chips, small dents and scratches in line with mileage.
LED interior lights flicker sometimes
Front fender liners are torn and loose
Right front window regulator beginning to make noise going up down- works fine.
Required maintenance of supercharger system- clean oil line filter yearly, drain Oil Catch Can every 2 months or 2000 miles, blow off valve and oil drain hoses are original and will need replacing- oil drain hose wet, Clean MAF every 6 months.
Radio turns off every 25 mins, have to turn back on. Don’t know why it does that.
Transmission chatter at idle from single mass flywheel- normal condition.
Asking price $12000. i want this car to go to an enthusiast who appreciate all that's been done to the car.
