    +1 on the steering rack. The rack has the same ratio as non-ZHP.

    Read my above post. It has the same BMW part number but a different one from ZF. It is again up for debate.

    I always thought/heard that the zhp and competition option M3's came with the CSL steering rack.

    If it is the same as it's specced it's tighter than the CSL

    14.5:1 Ratio (Standard M3 15.4:1)

    The way the steering felt was the third thing that really impressed me about my ZHP. The first was the exhaust note as the PO pulled into the parking lot to meet me, the second was how the fuzzy seat hugged me when I sat in it. I still love all of those, but I am really glad the steering is the way it is cause that was a source of contention for me and my previous car.

    Correct. Last month of production for the sedans was 1/05 in the US and 2/05 in Europe.

    It should be noted that the suspension in reality was no different from SP. Aside from bigger/stronger control arms.

    Just an anecdotal comment on the steering [rack]: My friend, to whom I sold my E36M3, when taking my ZHP for a spin, was surprised by the (as he put it) 'go-cart like' steering as compared to the E36. Irrespective, our cars, whether or not having the same steering rack as other performance E46 models, do exhibit really sharp steering response.
