Selling my 2005 BMW - 91,500 miles I'm still dailying it, but I just pootle around town, so it shouldn't be going up much more, this is my personal vehicle. I just bought a car lot, but we are not open for business - just want to explain my user name! It's the ZHP Edition, 6 speed, black on black, black carbon look trim with Factory Navigation! (uber rare) I have owned it for 30,000 miles, done some maintenance (new suspension bushings, new belts) no problems whatsoever, runs as smooth as silk. Replaced the ZHP steering wheel with the worn out suede with a genuine M3 leather wrapped wheel, much nicer!  I have the stock grill and blue badges too - I'll throw these in and then the new owner can have whatever look they want.  There's a couple of extremely minor door dings - you have to look to see them, and then the front bumper is a little rashed from rock chips / debris, but nothing out of the ordinary for the mileage.    979-571-5zero87 Can't always pick up - text or leave a voicemail. I'll try get some more pictures up this week.   A little more from Wiki about the ZHP Package:  The performance package was an option given to E46 sedans from 2003 to 2005, coupes and convertibles from 2004-2006.  It included various aesthetic changes over the regular 3 series, as well as functional and mechanical enhancements. It had M badges on each of its Style 135 wheels, with additional M badging on the multi-function steering wheel and atop the 6-speed short throw weighted shifter.  In addition to the standard color options, the ZHP was available in the "Motorsport-only" color Imola Red. It received the "M-Tech II" bodykit standard, 18-inch staggered Style 135 wheels, high gloss anthracite window trim, and the coupe received clear turn signals (headlights, side-markers, and tail-lights) instead of the amber turn signals found on the standard 330Ci.  The interior had also been modified with half cloth-half alcantara sports seats (optional upgrade to leather), an alcantara-wrapped sports steering wheel (switched to perforated leather in mid-2005), a shorter M-badged shift knob, anthracite colored cloth headliner, and aluminum "cubed" faux-carbon fiber interior trim (available in silver or black). The instrument gauge cluster was also modified with red needles and polished metal trim rings. In the performance department, the ZHP was equipped with the more aggressive BMW Performance camshafts and a DME tune to increase power from 225 hp (168 kW) to 235 hp (175 kW). The engine redline was also raised from 6,500 rpm to 6,800 rpm to further take advantage of the new power band and higher power output achieved by the new camshafts at higher RPMs. As a result of the higher redline, the nut that fastens the oil pump's sprocket came with threadlocker pre-applied from the factory to keep the nut from falling off. The car also received a shorter final drive ratio which allows for faster acceleration; 3.07 vs. 2.93 for manuals and 3.64 vs. 3.38 for the automatic. Car and Driver magazine track-tested the car, which returned a 0-60 mph time of 5.6 seconds and passed through the 1/4 mile in 14.3 seconds. In 2003 the ZHP was the only non-M 3-series to feature a Getrag 6-speed manual transmission. Suspension was modified over the standard suspension with firmer springs and dampers, larger anti-roll bars, stronger front control arm ball joints, a lower ride height, and slightly more negative camber. The Style 135 wheels also came equipped with the much stickier compound, Michelin Pilot Sport tires, in a staggered configuration with 225/40-18 tires in the front and 255/35-18 tires in the back. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION Ok, I had quote a few people asking for more pictures, so I'm going to go ahead and upload a few more, plus a little on the service history of the car whilst I've owned it. I got the car in July 2010, I think it had 58,000 miles on it. I bought it sight unseen from a guy in West Texas and his dealer shipped it to me in Tyler, where I was working at the time.  I took it to Mike Pyle BMW in Tyler - it's not the first 3 series I've owned and they all get some bushing wear leading to play in the front suspension. They replaced the bushings and some noisy pulleys under the CPO warranty that was on the car and I have the paperwork for this. I waited a few weeks until I got back home to Bryan and took the car to my buddy at Garlyn Shelton BMW for an inspection and oil change. I do not have a receipt from him, but we changed the oil - factory BMW synthetic - air filter, cabin filter and there was a faulty temp sensor that we cleaned and replaced. I don't have receipts, but I'm an active member of a local car club and the only guys that work on my car are both club members and both BMW certified Techs, the oil has been changed by us every 5-8,000 miles depending on my schedule, the service interval has a counter on it and I try never to let it go below 5,000 miles. If you want to talk with them about the car, shoot me an e-mail and I'll put you in touch.  (serious buyers only guys!) The rear tires were replaced in September (receipt) and the fronts in February, so plenty of life left in them... I think that's about it. The car has a few rock chips up front and the usual wear and tear for a 5/6 year old vehicle, but it's still in pretty damn fine condition.
