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.
