What I thought when I read this thread title was "oh jeez, here we go again" with all the ZHP vs. all other 3 series discussions.
I do think ZHP owners that participate on forums are all, to some degree, thinking their car is better than any non-M series. We're all guilty of it, and there is no arguing that.
If it wasn't true, you probably wouldn't have gotten a ZHP for all the extra money you paid for you versus a regular 3.
