Sold @$16K

My 2003 ZHP DINAN 3 6MT Sedan is for sale. Alpine white over natural brown interior with black cube trim. It has 155xxx miles on it and has been living in a climate controlled garage and maintained meticulously (most people that know me would say obsessively). Oil changed every 10k with Mahle filter and German Castrol oil. Blackstone Labs oil analysis determined 10k is a conservative interval for this oil. Coolant and brake fluid changed every 2 years. The suspension was recently redone, upgraded with coilovers and reinforcement plates. Car has a set of brand new tires. Brakes have a lot of life left in them. I purchased it on September 1st 2014 with 136k on it. Previous owner (Joop/JupiterBMW) bought it on January 11, 2013 with 126k miles.

This car has been extremely dependable to me and has never left me stranded. I like to think I've done a good job at keeping her looking great, people STILL think it's a new car. It was tastefully modified, it is fast in a straight line and handles amazingly in the corners. I have the suspension dialed in very well with an alignment similar to what the M3s tend to run. The engine purrs like a kitten (well more like a growl hehe), the gearbox shifts nicely, and the clutch is holding strong. Not a single leak and the car feels tight as a drum. It really drives like a car with ~20,000 miles.
I love this car but we have a little one now, I thought we'd be able to get away with this car but I need to get an automatic car so my wife can drive it when necessary.


I understand this is higher than KBB/NADA/CARFAX values. Anyone that is familiar with the ZHP will understand how incredibly hard it is to find a well cared for example. It's even harder to find a white sedan with a manual transmission and natural brown interior. The "holy grail" as some people call it. The condition of the car is amazing for having 155k miles, and some people I have talked to have asked to see the gauge cluster to believe me when I tell them the mileage. The modifications are top tier (OEM or better quality), very recent and in perfect condition. My asking price is far under the amount invested in this car. I am willing to negotiate within reason, as stated above. If you want a meticulously maintained, rock solid, very tastefully modded, very clean, unique Dinan Certified version of an already pretty rare car, this is your ZHP.

I'll say this, if the X5 spends any more time at the dealer, the M3 is going to be the wife's car and I am going to buy the ZHP back... We're on courtesy vehicle #5 right now. Will have this one for approx. 10 days in total.

Heh, no... Its been all stupid little emissions crap. The thing has been running amazingly well the whole time, just a very persistent check engine light. BMW Engineers are involved, BMW NA has been involved. Its quite comical at this point. The silly part is that we don't even have emissions in Florida. I wish I could just code all of that stuff right out, then I'd be good to go. :D

Hey Josh... What did you do with the old springs? I just realized I still have the OEM front springs and the H&R rear springs... Perhaps we could rematch the sets up and get them in the hands of someone that'd want them?

You say you need an Auto car for your wife to drive. Are you looking for a new car or would a meticulously maintained auto Zhp in AW with less miles, and two years newer peak your interest?? I've been wanting a 6mt for a long time...thoughts? Think about it. You can still have a ZHP and get what you need!
