    Actually, my homework showed they were totally worth it. KBB value for my car here is over $24k.

    I see what you're saying by way of comparison- when I bought my ZHP, there were plenty of newer e90's on the lot for less than my car- but (and not trying to be a prick here) they're e90's. For me $18k for an e90 wouldn't be worth it. Never cared for the Banglemobiles personally.

    That being said, I'm glad you found a great low mileage car at a great price. For me, though, paying a premium for a ZHP was well worth it.

    It's all supply and demand. For whatever reason -- and I think I know -- ZHP buyers are willing to pay up to have one of these cars. Many car buyers think the ZHP performance package warrants the premium.

    I'll just say this: there is something special about this car. The whole is simply a hell of a lot better than the individual parts. I believe the definition is synergy. This car has it.

    agreed. paying a little more for what you want is something i have done many times. had i found a imola/nat. brown zhp sedan with 50-55k miles super clean and nicely optioned, i would have paid as much as $19 without a thought 'cause that is awesomeness!
    i dont think i would have bought any other e90. but with these miles, the Mtech kit which changes the look dramatically and heavy options as well as local previous owner, i couldnt resist. you have to remember i am coming out of a 08 e60 535i 6spd rwd with almost every option! this car is WAY above my pay-grade with a $67k msrp but working at a BMW dealer had its perks! i was paying $225 a month for my 24mo. lease!!!!!!!!!!! downside, with all those options and comfort and convenience, it was hard to be happy with anything(spoiled brat, i know) let alone pay too much $$ for an e46 which is somewhat antiquated option technology(not nescesarilly a bad thing). the e90 was as close as i could get within my budget. hope that makes a little sense?

    Yeah, but think about the region. The region makes all the difference
    Over here, $17-18k for a low mileage ZHP is the MINIMUM you'll pay, unless you get lucky. That goes without mentioning that those prices are IF you find one for sale up here, as there are times when you can't find any.

    Second, you may have gotten your car for $18k, but keep in mind it's only a 325i. If it was a 330i, it would have been more. A 335i, even more than that. You'd be very hard pressed to find an E90 up here that isn't as basic as a piece of paper (white on beige with the only option on it being an automatic) and low mileage for less than $20k.

    Region matters!



    And who cares if you didn't get an E46; you got a Bimmer, and that's all that matters.

    It's not the car you drive, it's how you drive it.
