No love for ZHP coupes?

I dunno. The guys over at XYZ forum say this place is really not special.

No coupe love here, have owned 10 e46s consisting of 7 coupes (4 ZHP), 2 verts (1 ZHP), and 1 wagon, never have had a sedan though have tried to buy one several times.

The purchase is a bust. Too much wrong with it to even consider buying at rock bottom.

Oh well, the search goes on...

Thanks for all the replies, though!

I got my coupe for 8500 (I'm 16) that being said I had about 4k in maintenance. Auto or manual?

This one was a slushbox. We'd prefer 6MT, but the price was just too tempting.

$8500 is our budget on this car for my son, and that needs to include any immediate repairs. I honestly did not, and do not, expect to be able to get him a ZHP for that. But, seeing one priced this low was encouraging... right up until we got the PPI report LOL.

So, it's back to Plan-A... search for a ZSP 330Ci and hope we find a seller with a ZHP who doesn't know the market for them (i.e. doesn't really know what they've got)..

They're out there. I picked up my SG sedan with the 6MT for exactly 8,500 OTD. The dealer thought it was a regular old 330, and assumed no one would want a manual BMW. They never put pics up, and were about to send it to auction. Luckily a friend ran the VIN and saw that it was a ZHP packaged car.

I was only looking for ads with pics, and usually searched by keywords ZHP and/or performance package. In doing so, the car I ended up buying was never even on my radar.

Good choice with the 6mt. My auto ended up costing more than 2500$ to fix. Still going to manual swap it or buy an e30 5spd as a toy car.

source? yeah i remember them saying that it's an upgrade to the 330 (hence why it's a package, just like how sports package is an upgrade to the regular 330). then all the news outlets picked it up and said that it was the closest thing you could get to an m3. but i don't remember BMW ever saying that the performance package is like a lite m3.

MY term was M3-lite, not theirs. Theirs was the reasoning behind the ZHP is what I was focusing on... which was they wanted a performance sedan.
