Dear R3V OT: School me on E46 330i ZHP vs 330i

[10Toes]

Did you guys meet face to face at the E30Picnic?

Yeah I met him and he seems like a cool dude. I hope he knows I'm just joking with him.

Back on topic ZHP's are hot and the perfect daily driver.

Indeed, the E30 is the last of the non-M 3 series that came with a limited slip factory option. :(

92-95 non-m E36's had LSD as an option, often came as part of cold weather package.

Ah, they didn't actually put one on! The rear end ratio is a bit higher (3.07 as opposed to 2.93 i believe..), but it's still open. A bummer, no doubt.

You're right...I was thinking M3. A bummer indeed.

Worthless responses? 03 is not the only year they had the six speed. Our 05 ZHP had a six speed so STFU with your worthless responses.

The regular 330i came with a 6 speed, and this has already been gone over in the thread. So yes, your responses are worthless. Shut your pie hole.

I'd love a zhp packaged 330.

Ditto, I'll take a Ci.

... limited slip diff, ...

Are all ZHP's 4DR?

No. The package was available on all variants, but the sedans are in the greatest numbers. ZHP coupes and 'verts are pretty rare.

All ZHP spec'd cars had either a 6 speed manual as standard or an optional automatic (not sure it the slushbox is a 5 or 6 speed). In addition to the standard 6-speed, there's a small bump in power and torque and slightly higher redline, higher top speed, better suspension, limited slip diff, leather/alcantara/aluminum cube-patterned interior, shadowline window trim, unique front & rear bumper facias, lip spoiler for the trunk and probably a few other items which escape me at the moment.

There were also some non-ZHP spec 330i and 330ci cars that were optioned out with a 6-speed manual (I believe 2003 was the first year). Everything else about the car was standard issue E46 330 in terms of power, equipment choices, etc. but the 6-cog manual was an option. You don't see these pop up on the market very often - but they're out there.

Only in 03, and the question has already been answered, don't post worthless responses.
