Greetings everyone! I come from a pretty good line of Germans - E30s, and E46 330ci and now this. Just got her last Sunday! Sold my '01 330ci for it. 2003 330i ZHP - 157k miles. Crazy clean and interior looks like new. Does not feel like a car of its mileage.

Welcome. Very nice looking car, congrats on the pickup. How much of a difference if any do you feel between the 330 and the ZHP?

Hi there!

Love the 1er wheels on it. Was thinking of doing that myself!

Roll tide?

This is something I was really interested in finding out. The whole car feels much tighter. Its on OEM suspension all around. Largest thing I notice in spirited daily driving is the steering ratio. The motor does seem to be a little more alive above 3k, but not an enourmous ammount. I really enjoy popping it into 6th and getting that low rev high mpg cruising. I think over all the car feels like a much higher quality car. This may be due to its care prior to me too.

Thanks for all the warm welcomes! Ill be celebrating her 160k mile soon.

So far, I have fixed the back right window regulator cable with some safety wire, buffed the oxidized hood back to beauty and installed the spacers that the PO sent with it. It has a set of coils that came with it too, still in the box. Kinda on the fence about them, it rides so nice right now. I still have to fix the front passenger window regulator and will be doing a full fluids service.
