    Hello. (330-msport)

    Hello,

    Just joined the community, though i'd introduce my new car. Been a BMW enthusiast all my life pretty much (mid 20's now). Growing up, i was always amazed by the designs of the cars, the history behind them and what the brand stands for.

    My first car was a 1995 e38 740i, the flagship 7 series. Owned it for about 3 years. Amazing machine. Second car was a 2001 e46 330ci - sport pkg. The power and handling of the car was and is what makes the 3 series so special, especially the e46.




    Been in the hunt for an "M-sport" (canadian ZHP) sedan for couple months. There is not many around in ontario. Finally found one 2 months ago, in Quebec and picked it up right away.

    2003 330i M-sport - 6-Speed - 170,000 KM - Imola Red/Alcantara - 3rd owner - All maintenance records.

    Current winter setup, winters on M68's - 225/40/17 all around.








    Damn rust, it was not this bad, but being it one of the worst winters this year, it is really starting to peel. Also missing one rear seat headrest.

    Welcome to another member from the great white north. I can't see the pictures until I get off my firewalled PC at work.

    welcome fellow ontarion! whereabouts are you located?

    what's your VIN? the M-Sport was actually a different model than the 'Canadian ZHP', which was called 'ZAM.' there are some M-Sports out there that look like a ZHP/ZAM but don't have the 3.07 rear diff, cams or software.

    cool, i'm in kitchener for the next couple of weeks, but i live in picton (2.25hrs east of the GTA).

    here's your options list - no S787A (ZHP/ZAM package), but it's definitely an M-Sport:

    ah cool, thanks.

    The S787A (ZHP/ZAM package) must be even more rare in CA then.

    it is. there were some numbers found the other day that suggested something like 215 sedans, 231 coupes and ~300 verts. that's rare!
