    2004 ZHP, Alpine White/Tan, 6MT, Old-School Maintenance, 139k miles, New Jersey - $9.500

    2003 BMW 330 ZHPs For Sale

    Putting up my zhp that I acquired <3 years ago from a fellow member.

    Car drives like a BULLET and is wonderful. I have continued the old-school maintenance that the previous owner also did.

    I am embarrassed to admit that I have spent $5k on it – predominantly addressing long term needs - and yet am listing it. However, I recently picked up a 535i, which suits my family better and I can’t justify two cars.

    Car is currently stored @ my friend’s garage. Current mileage is 139.6k (I got it in July 2013 when it was about 120k – shows how less I drive) and that will not increase much.

    All maintenance done either by a Master Tech from a local BMW dealership or at regular BMW dealerships (usually for oil changes every 6 months and to purchase any part).

    To emphasis on the maintenance: just check out Dane's lists of dos/don't on the zhp and compare it with the stuff done on the car by the prior owner and me. You'll then agree that car will not need much for a long time.

    Details on the car.

    Any concerns with the car? - All cosmetic

    Exterior - I will easily give it a 8.5 on 10.

    Very small dings (two on the right side, one on the left) that don't show up on the pictures and will be found only upon a very close look. Extremely small chips in hood that a touch-up will take care - all due to rocks when driving @ high speed in NY/NJ;
    Small scratch in the back bumper - again, touch-up can take care of it.
    Finally, I managed to slightly scratch two rims in my anxiety to park the car close to the kerb. It's not big but still.

    Thanks!!

    Beautiful car! Looks like it's definitely been taken care of.

    I actually really like the contrast between the black cube and the tan interior. GLWS!

    To clarify two things based on queries I received recently:

    - No accidents; car has no issues and drives tight. Steering feel and feedback is incredible.
    - The front and rear tires (right side) were replaced under new tire warranty because of bulges that developed. I suspect that this is due to Conti's 'soft' sidewall, but then the NJ potholes are also treacherous.

    FYI that I have a huge file that contains all the receipts for all the work done.

    Thanks,
