Hi everyone, I am selling my beloved ZHP. The family has expanded enough now that I need a larger sedan.

The car has 151k miles and is basically in mint condition both in how it drives, the interior and exterior. That's not an exaggeration, anything worn has been replaced, always with OEM parts, by a BMW specialty repair shop in Boston over the last 5 years I've owned it.

Truly a car meant to be enjoyed by an enthusiast. I don't need to sell it, but I fear I just won't drive it anymore, and my garage only holds 2 cars (care has always been garaged)...The only other thing to mention is that the car has been in a minor front end collision. No frame damage, got a new hood, headlights, cooling system, bumper and misc parts out of it. I have Liberty Mutual's BMW Performance insurance, so all were replaced with OEM parts by the best repair shop in Boston. Accident was about 1.5 years ago, and car drives exactly the same as it did before.

Quick specs:

2004 ZHP 330i sedan
VIN: WBAEV53494KM05591

Black leather interior (not alcantra)

Notable updates:

Dinan Stage 3 circa $5000 (minus suspension which I think is too stiff--replaced with ZHP stock):
Dinan exhaust, stage III engine software, throttle body, front strut brace, cold-air intake, floor mats

Diffsonline 3.73 Limited Slip Differential (OEM BMW Motorsports) Circa $4500

- Has had all recalls, including rear taillight, and passenger airbag
- had a blown speaker last year, so I put in the Bavarian Soundworks speakers to replace the blown HK ones (connected to stock equipment). The sub remains the original HK subs
- Replaced the rearview mirror with one from a 2012 e90 (compass mirror, garage door opener, auto-dim)

I have a book 3" thick with receipts... you name it' it's been replaced with OEM parts--water pump, oil pump, fuel pump, suspension, brakes, all the plastic trim pieces in the interior that had chipped or cracked...

Like I said, the car is mint... Actually, the drivers seat leather is a bit worn from me sitting on it all day. Not ripped, always conditioned, still excellent shape, just not "mint."

But with AUX-in you loose steering wheel control, don't you?

Also, is there a reliable source of cheap BMW Nav map DVDs? $200 for a map every 2~3 years seems too steep, and I have heard bootleg disks could harm the DVD reader.

- You have steering wheel control for volume using the Aux input. You have full, uninterrupted access to the iPhone for doing whatever you want. I was one of one the first people to use the Intravee II on old iPods back in the day and have tried a number of other things. This is by far the best solution I've used.

- As for the maps. 2015 was the last and final year of the DVDs available for the MKIV system. I just ordered mine from the dealer (part # 65902365699) for North American HIGH. It's a 2 DVD set made by TomTom (East / West coast). Cost was $200... I bought it because, well, why not--its most updated maps you could get. FWIW, BMW was still using the MKIV DVD Nav system as late as 2010 in the X3, so they kept updating maps for 5 years after production of the final car to use the system.

Got mine on eBay.

Saw a bunch on there, hard to tell fakes from legit.

Is this a fair price?

Depends on risk... $80, may or may not be legit. $200 didn't seem like an unreasonable cost to ensure they were legitimate.

Thanks. Just went through my youtube channel and made all my ZHP videos public. Here's the full list of them:

Dug up a picture of the OEM NAV DVD for those interested. The image on the front of the carton is not the MKIV system that the e46 came with (it's BMW's CIC Nav which was 2008-2013ish BMWs--eye roll BMW).

Anyhow, the DVD High DVDs are definitely the correct ones for the e46's MKIV computer (make sure to upgrade to OS v.32)

F&*K this. I'm jealous.
