EDIT: This car was sold. The new owner is a member of ZHPMafia.com. See here for details.
I'm betting some of you may have seen this before. Since Rogue Eng. built it I'd assume it was done right. Looks like it has 45,000 on the conversion. Interesting choice for tire sizes when Rogue still had it....235/35 18's (track) and 235/35 19's (street) front and rear. Possibly a misprint and it was supposed to be 255/35 all the way around? The CL ad doesn't say what sizes are on it now. I wish I lived near him, might have to go and take a "test drive".

Too bad he screwed up his posting of the links to the Bimmer article and didn't link the last page. Instead he double posted the 2nd to last page. EDIT: Last page of Bimmer article added from here.....

I'll C&P the ad in case it gets deleted.......
This 2003 E46 330i ZHP had 7400 miles when it went for a heart transplant at Rogue Engineering. A 1,800 mile E46 M3 S54 engine, complete with transmission and the entire rear end was installed with Rogue Engineering transmission mounts into this fully loaded ZHP. Not only does this ZHP have Navigation with Voice Control, 6 CD Harman Kardon Premium Sound System, Bluetooth Phone System, Aux Inputs for portable players, 3 Device Homelink System, Full Auto A/C with fine tune on vent, LED soft lighting, it also has, Lightweight package, Traction and stability control systems. (ASC+T and DSC), Suede seats: front power seats with 3 memory settings, E46 M3 steering wheel and E46 M3 instrument Cluster.
With great power, comes great responsibility, Rogue Engineering fitted this ZHP with Bilstein PSS9s coilovers and OEM BMW Motorsport Front strut brace to tame its power and yet keeping the car comfortable to drive on the street. Rogue Engineering also installed 355mm front GT 4-piston brake kit and 328mm rear Brembo GT 4-piston brake kit to slow the car with confidence. Rogue Engineering light weight flywheel was installed for faster throttle response. Rogue Engineering Octane short shifter kit was installed for more precise shifting and sportier feel. Rogue Engineering Power pulleys and Custom Rogue Engineering DMS exhaust were also installed to extract as much power from the stock S54 motor as possible.
Macht Schnell air filter was installed this past March. Valve adjustment was done 3 weeks ago, along with metric adjustable clutch stop kit. New Carbotech Bob cat pads were installed all the way around 2 weeks ago with oil, transmission, diff, and brake fluid change. All fluids are OEM except ATE clear racing brake fluid.
I am looking for $25,000 for her. I will also include a box of brand new Carbotech xp10 racing pads, new OEM fuel filter, a case (12 = 2 oil changes) OEM oil and oil filter. She is about 52,600 miles.
