When I saw the ZHP maybe 3 or 4 years ago I fell in love with it. It was a great alternative to the E46 M3 and this is what I was looking for. The ZHP imo seemed more practical then the S54 and it was available with two extra doors. And of course cheaper. I did not buy one earlier because of the price, all of the used ones had the same asking price as the E46 M3.... I thought forget it, I will just wait for a nice E39 M5 or something. Now fast forward to April or so. One night my 14 year old son showed me this beautiful and tastefully modded ZHP (now my current). I called the man up, and bam. I did have to sell my 528i/5 but it was clean so it sold in a few days. Three weeks later and a lot of negotiating later it was in my garage. I paid a ton cheaper than the ZHP's. In fact, I paid what I would have paid for a regular pre-facelift 330i/4/5.
I love my ZHP. I even have a waiting list of people who want to buy it from me![]()
