Bought a new car, selling my 2004 BMW 330i 6 speed with ZHP Package. This car also has the premium package, cold weather package, PDC (Park Distance Control), Bi-Xenon Headlights, Navigation, and rear window electric sunshade (which does not work). The only option I believe this car does not have are airbags in the rear doors. This car has 175k miles on it now, which will continue to rise as I will drive this car until it sells (~370miles/week). I've rebuilt the stock headlights as the OEM plastic projectors burnt out (common on E46's with Xenon lights). Valve cover gasket replaced, oil pan gasket replaced, power steering pump w/ reservoir and all hoses replaced. The factory amp in the trunk died, so I sent that to carphonics (carphonics.co.uk) in the UK to have it rebuilt, and did their stage 2 upgrade from 20- 50 RMS watts. I also had RCA pre-outs installed for an aftermarket amp. Everything is all stock otherwise. The nav screen has two dead spots about the size of a finger print. The suspension was VERY recently overhauled with all powerflex bushings (front CAB, rear subframe mounts, diff mounts, control arm bushings), Bilstein B8 sport shocks and H&R Lowering springs. The car now rides a lot firmer than stock. When the rear subframe was out to have the bushings replaced, I also had Turner Motorsports subframe reinforcements welded in for preventative measure as subframe mounts are known to tear on E46s. At this same time I also had the clutch delay valve removed, tranny and diff fluid replaced with redline fluid, and I had a UUC short throw shifter installed with DSSR selector rod. I also had UUC transmission mounts installed, and it has caused a minor vibration from about idle to 1500 rpms. It doesn't bother me too much but stock mounts were definitely smoother. The car came with aftermarket wheels when I purchased it, and I replaced them with refinished BMW Style 71 wheels, so the rims are flawless, could use a new set of tires though as the current ones rumble loudly. I've done the oil changes myself every 7500 miles with Mobil1 5w-30 full sythentic oil and Mann filters. This motor does burn a little bit of oil, I usually have to add 1 qt of oil in between oil changes, which seems to be normal characteristic of the M54 motor. I've also replaced the fuel pump with a VDO brand unit and fuel filter (Mann) for preventative maintenance. I've always used Shell 93 octane fuel and I get around 25-26 mpg and will go a little over 400 miles / tank if you really drive till the low fuel light comes on <--I usually fill up around 370 miles/tank.The check engine light is on for lean bank 1 and bank 2 codes, most commonly caused by a vacuum leak. I have an entire new CCV Kit with hoses, as well as lower and upper intake boots and a new Disa valve to be installed in an attempt to fix this problem. The car runs fine, no rough idling or misfires.I can tell this car was repainted sometime before my ownership, and there are 2 spots where the clear coat is peeling (roof and front right fender). The paint is glossy everywhere else. All the body panels are original w/ vin numbers and line up perfectly so no wrecks. All windows and sunroof work, the sunroof shade is a little wonky and the headliner will flap in the wind if you drive with all the windows open.
