CPO 330i Zhp

This is my second zhp and I'm selling for a porsche. It will be sorely missed. For me it is the perfect zhp possible. I've had the zhp in sedan & coupe, leather & cloth and imola & mystic. Even mich vs. bridgestone. In all of the above this car comes out on top (i.e. sedan, alcantara, mystic, michPS )

2003 mystic blue/alcantara-cloth 330i 6spd
29xxx miles
CPO to 04/2009
Orig warranty/maintenance to 04/2007
Performance Package
Nav (upgraded to v27.1)
Icelink+ (displays nicely)
Cold Weather Package
Xenons
Sunroof

- All records
- Minor nicks (no clear bra)
- Front bumper was scuffed at porsche dealer (of all places) last week - it will be professionally repaired. No other paintwork that I'm aware of...

It was one of the very best zhps that I found when I searched in February. Since then, through sheer persistence with dealers, I've fixed every slight niggle imaginable.

Car has
- latest DME software (No 4k dip!)
- set of new Michelin PS ($1000)
- new clutch (original grabbed fine but there was a slight knock at idle and dealer replaced whole clutch!)
- new alcantara steering wheel (awesome and will miss terribly!)
- new radio tuner for stronger reception (under recall)
- new RHS mirror for reverse tilt
- new sunroof shade/sliders

Minor mods:
- Clutch stop
- Keyhole cover

Not a rattle, squeak, pull. No autox or track. Drives better than new. I honestly can't imagine a better one - despite being an '03.

$28,000

Car is in North NJ/NYC area. PM me if interested.

I get very attached to my cars - even for the short periods that I keep them for. One last goodbye shot

Do the ZHPs have a shorter shifter than standard e46s?

Yep. This is one of my favorite features and the short shifter is much better than any 3 series I have driven to date. Here is a better picture of it from my car

No kidding.

I gave a buddy at work the heads-up on this. Unfortunately today was his last day at work - he's moving to Portland, ME. But he has this link.
