Must be a 325 then if it's a 5 speed all 330s had the 6 speed in 2006 if I'm not mistaken.Quote:

could be a canadian import. up here you could order a 325i/Ci with the M Sport package, in imola red (or other M Sport/ZAM/ZHP colors).Quote:

Pretty clean! Let me know I can check it out for anyone. Pretty weird it is a 5 speed. Black cube trim. Aftermarket exhaust idk which. Looks super clean though.

Did it have hockey sticks inside?
Gut is still telling me it's a ZHP with a 5-speed knob... Can't shake that feeling.
Yea but wouldn't the owner still know it's a 6spd? I guess if you've never tried to grab 6th....Quote:

The only other bright red color option was Japanrot, which is much brighter and isn't as "deep" as Imola is. This definitely doesn't look like Japanrot...Quote:

I think Peter nailed it. Looks like Canadian import.

Imola = pink/red
Japanrot = orange/red
Saw this one just now when Nolan and I stopped to eat at Katrina's Greek restaurant in Manassas (same place I met Charlie, Dan for dinner last year. )

Mystery solved -

Looks like a ZHP, right? Well, wrong - this is a rare 2006 325ci M-Sport package, which got most of the look of the ZHP/ZAM with a bit less power and only 5-speeds.
http://bit.ly/2p2JRuN
The extra pictures would've helped us figuring that out. km/h and vinyl sport seats are dead giveaways. :)
Thanks for sharing.
Yeah. Sorry I couldn't get some more pictures. But makes me think if anyone would really grab this over a US 330i ZHP.. I don't really think the rarity of that 325i would make me purchase it over a US spec ZHP.
What do you guys think?

Rarity doesn't necessarily translate directly to desirability.
A certain blue may make it a more interesting proposition - otherwise, it's even more not-special than a ZHP
Spotted a 325i ..M3 edition

Drove beside a black sedan for about 4 miles this evening on NC-16 (Providence Rd.) coming back from ZHPizza's house. Looked to have alcantara, but it was tough to tell. Thumbs ups were exchanged.
I just ran into a guy at the Chinese place on Providence with an imola vert.Quote:
