Finished in Imola Red over black upholstery, this 2003 BMW 330i is powered by a 3.0-liter inline-six engine paired with a 6-speed manual transmission. Equipped with the desirable ZHP Performance Package, it features an M Tech 2 aerodynamic kit, Alcantara interior accents, Aluminum Black Cube trim, M-Sport interior components, and additional enhancements. Modifications include 18” CCW C140 wheels, an H&R Sport Cup suspension kit, a Dinan cold air intake, and a Corsa Performance axle-back exhaust system. Showing just under 136k miles, this example is now available for auction by its seller out of Connecticut.
This 330i is finished in Imola Red (405) and features ZHP-specific side skirts, dual exhaust tips, and LED taillights. Modifications include an M3-style front bumper, black trim, black kidney grille inserts, aftermarket taillights and side markers, and 50% Suntek HP blue-colored window tint. It rides on a square setup of 18x9.5” CCW C140 forged wheels wrapped in Bridgestone Potenza Sport tires, with the seller noting plenty of remaining tread despite minor wear on the front tires due to camber adjustments. Paint imperfections are noted on the fenders and hood, with clearcoat peeling on the roof. Paintwork is noted on the front bumper and rear quarter panels. Detailed images are provided in the gallery along with a clean CARFAX report.
The cabin presents black cloth and Alcantara upholstery with ZHP-specific Aluminum Black Cube trim, an Anthracite headliner, a perforated leather-wrapped multifunction M-Sport steering wheel, a weighted ZHP short shifter knob, and orange instrument needles. Additional features include power-adjustable and heated sport seats with lumbar support, automatic climate control, an auto-dimming rearview mirror, a rain sensor, and a Harman Kardon Sound System The seller notes a tear on the driver’s seat, wear on the steering wheel, minor headliner sag, and an illuminated airbag warning. The central locking system works intermittently due to a faulty driver’s side door actuator, though manual locking operates properly. The worn sunroof shade will also accompany the sale.
Power comes from a 3.0-liter M54 inline-six cylinder engine featuring ZHP-specific engine management software and revised camshafts, allowing for a factory-rated 235 HP and 222 lb.-ft of torque. The ZHP package adds a unique lightweight underbody cross brace and a linear steering rack with a stiffer torsion bar. The seller notes the oil pan is leaking, and service & upgrades upon their acquisition have included the following:
- All-new suspension featuring HR Sport Cup Kit, along with new chassis bushings, subframe bushings, trailing arm bushings, and rear SPC camber arms
- New lower control arms installed
- New brake pads, rotors, and calipers
- Upgraded with new DISA valve, Vanos lines replaced and resealed, and new CCV
- New fuel pump and fuel sending unit
- Fresh spark plugs and ignition coils
- Dinan Cold Air Intake
- UUC Corsa Performance TSE3 Axleback exhaust system
- Recent replacement of thermostat, coolant hoses, and coolant expansion tank (summer 2024)
This sale will include owner’s manuals, a window sticker, a toolkit, and an air pump. The stock taillights, corner lights, and marker lights will also accompany the sale, along with worn ZHP wheels. Other miscellaneous parts are also included.
The seller would like you to know: “I’ve owned this ZHP for almost a year now and really have enjoyed driving it. It’s been an absolute blast at a couple of auto x days at Limerock, and has made a great commuter! I originally intended to drive this car year-round but decided it deserves better than being driven in the winter in CT. I’ve had a lot of the big maintenance stuff done and then some as recommended by a local BMW specialist shop. Would drive this car anywhere tomorrow and then to the track!”

Thanks for the interest everyone! This has been a great car, have owned a few E46 (and many other chassis BMW) and have had a great time setting this one up and driving it. Happy to answer any questions or concerns.
