Hey everyone, listing my ZHP to see if there is any serious interest amongst community members.
Little bit of history: I bought this automatic ZHP back in April of 2015 in fairly neglected state at a local car auction. Honestly I didn't care for the condition since I bought it knowing I will have fun with it and therefore a lot of areas will be overhauled in process of making it fun-worthy. It sat at our warehouse about 6 months with occasional start ups and short drives to keep drivetrain lubricated and battery charged. As it sat until October of 2015, I had been slowly sourcing parts and performing general maintenance and at some point was able to source a complete 6sp swap kit along with custom 3.46 LSD - so naturally, we had swapped the automatic to manual. Ever since the swap was complete, I had been driving it on weekends or whenever my E92 M3 is/was in service and have collectively put 5k on the car since I purchased it. With my upcoming move to NYC, I don't think I will be enjoying it any time soon and therefore I'm gauging interest in selling it along with my X5.
(Note: I do NOT need to sell it, but will sell it for a reasonable price)
Car: 2004 330i ZHP
Mileage: 109,8xx
Color: Imola / Alcantara / Silver Cube
Transmission: Manual
VIN:
Title: Clean TX title, clean CARFAX
Price: $9500
Swap details: Again, car started off as an automatic but at 104k we had swapped it 6 speed transmission using a ZHP trans from an 06 coupe donor car. ECU/DME was updated to remove 4k dip and was coded to 6sp car, cluster gear selector was turned off. This car passes inspection and emissions with zero issues, there are no fault codes. Every single part (minus pedal assembly) needed for a swap was purchased from Classic BMW. Only pedal assembly was borrowed from an M3 donor car. Again, this swap was professionally performed by EuroAuto shop in Plano, TX - they had done plenty of E46 swaps and car was coded by NTX Coding. I personally know Christopher at NTX Coding, he's top notch and some of the SPEC E46 guys use his coding services. The only way anyone can tell that this ZHP was ever an automatic is by noticing a gear selector (turned off) inside the cluster.

D-Force 18x9 square set, 17lb each wheel281732817428175
Problems
Alcantara material is torn on driver's bolster
Roof is showing sign of oxidized paint/clear coat.
Rear bumper is fading
Front bumper is showing scrapes
Oil pan gasket could use replacement at some point. Not leaving any drops on garage floor but gasket area is wet.
Overall the car is in great shape, this is my 3rd ZHP and by the most fun and quickest ZHP I've owned. Main plan was to build it for auto-x/track/sunday car. Between it, my E92 M3 and X5 - I don't get to enjoy it as much as I intended and with my move to NYC for at least a year, I'd hate to see it collect dust in my garage. With that said, I want to point out that this is not a museum piece - its a 12yr old vehicle with 100k+ miles with minor issues. I have priced it at around how much I have put into this car in parts and labor alone, so you're getting the car for free.
I do travel and work from various locations and therefore there will be no PPI time available. Interested/serious parties are welcome to order a mobile PPI to come to my house or feel free to inspect it during purchase. I have listed all issues above, this car spends time on the lift regularly and I am very meticulous about my maintenance. If you can't accept any minor issues that may arise with a 110k mile vehicle - please buy a new one with a warranty. My 2011 M3 with 22k miles on the clock is currently sitting at Classic BMW getting a new set of rod bearings due to premature wear. It had its rear wheel bearing replaced at 19k. They're only perfect until rolled off the lot.
Feel free to PM me for any questions.
