    E46 330d - I Never Knew

    I was lucky enough to go to France earlier this month with the family, and was surprised when I saw a few e46 330d's... a coupe, a sedan and even a "touring". Apparently the ZHP body kit was also used on this model in Europe (and maybe elsewhere in the world.)

    Here's a link to some photos:

    Yes the M-Tech II kit is on everything in Europe! You could even get the alcantara seats!

    The car industry is vastly different from ours. Packages don't really exist and alot of options are al la carte. I remember the first introduction of the F25 at my old dealership showed a European model. It had HUD, Navi, Leather, HIDs, and then boom manual seats. I personally like the amount of customization in Europe and the whole made to order cars. Downside is that finding a pre-owned car with the exact options you want is much harder in europe since its al la carte.

    ZHP package is an assortment of the al la carte options and thrown at our cars.

    Yea I LOVE that episode.

    I'll be going to London soon for a wheel; plan to keep my eye out for any of our zhp cousins there. Doubt I'll see many. E46s are pretty "poor" for that town, especially now. I hardly saw any in 2009.

    I'd note that as the "ultimate" E46. Saw a couple while I was in France. 330d wagon RWD w/ mtech II alcantara and a 6mt.

    Yes, most people over there drive diesels (cheaper, better gas mileage, lasts longer...).
