    Bought a ZHP by mistake

    Hello, I just picked up a 2006 - black sapphire metallic - 330ci convertible - 6 speed manual with only 119,000kms (74,000miles). I found it at a small used car dealer for $8500 CND ($6518 USD) who didn’t seem to know it was a ZHP, he said it was an M package but no performance engine (maybe he meant M3 engine). Unfortunately it has had an accident, I see the fenders and hood have been replaced also the front bumped but it still has a clean title, so no rebuilt or salvage title. So I wasn’t sure it was a ZHP even after I bought it (mostly because my car doesn’t have any alcantera, not even the e-brake or shift boot) but I thought maybe it was, so I decode the VIN and sure enough S767A code!! (I will post the decode results and pics below) Then of course I tested the engine and YEP IT REVS UP 6800!! I’m upgrading from a 325CI vert (5speed manual) that was a great car but the 330 is noticeably better in every way possible. I have been an e46 enthusiast for some time and was aware for the ZHP package and the ZHPmafia!! I enjoy wrenching on my own cars, the first thing I plan on doing is just maintenance stuff like transmission, diff fluid and fresh oil. Thanks for reading and its good to be a part of the family.

    Hmmm, the gauge needles are white but US zhp's have red gauge needles. A Canadian difference perhaps?

    I've read online that the Canadian ZHPs(ZAMs) don't get the red needles and also the RPM redline is at 6500. But it still revs to 6800, as tested.
