2017 230? Or 2005-6 ZHP?
Anyone have experience with both? Curious which is the better play. The 230 is uglier than a spud but probably is a better bet overall but not as interesting as the E46.

Edit: This looks like a nice one. Although no photo confirming it has a stick. Would need to check the VIN. Claims to have MSport with all the right bits. Looks like it was a corporate car before it was bought. https://www.unitedbmw.com/inventory/...j1c57kvb98732/ Edit: Confirmed it's a manual. The only thing it's really missing is Harmon Kardon: https://www.mdecoder.com/decode/wba2j1c57kvb98732 Last edited by wdc330i; 09-06-2021 at 04:46 PM. |

I am loving the manual 230.

I miss my ‘04 ZHP six speed. I totally regret giving it away.
Edit: My vote is for a ZHP if that was not clear. Last edited by SCA; 09-06-2021 at 08:09 PM. |

That’s a nice car, and I like the red—but probably more than I want to spend.
I was thinking about this one. Higher miles but seems like a good deal at 23K, assuming it’s really a stick. https://www.carmax.com/car/21049982 |

You could DIY a mesh, as some have done. Dealer fix is around $750, from what I understand. Or you could look for a post December 2017 build… |

Are you out on the 1er? I find the 1 a *way* more engaging package than the 2 series cars I've driven.

Not really out on the 1er, no, just haven’t found one that looks interesting yet.

31,500 seems way silly for a 5 year old 230
