Huh? Is the ZHP clutch different than non-ZHP? Mine is extremely light, particularly compared to the E30. I agree the 330 gas pedal is light as well.

Wow. I think the brakes are excellent in the 330.
My 330i clutch seems a bit stiff to me (at least when I first got it it did). I test drove a Mazdaspeed Miata and an Impreza Outback and they had feather-like clutches. The Boxster's was average. What I would expect a clutch to feel like.

I'm not kidding about the brakes. It was a stiff pedal, but the level of precision braking is simply amazing. I have a feelign my 330i brakes are due for a brake bleed though.
