2004 BMW 330Ci ZHP Performance package

2004 BMW 3-Series Description

This is not an ordinary BMW 3 series coupe. The ZHP (competition package) was a collaboration between BMW Individual and Alpina to make the 330Ci platform sharper and more engaging while not eclipsing the more hardcore M3. The highlights of the ZHP package include a 6 speed short throw shifter, engine internal tweaks and suspension modifications. All this from the factory makes the ZHP a tight and responsive package. The ZHP continues to be a platform that puts a grin on my face while still being practical.

For sale is a highly desirable spec with Imola Red //M paint and black alcantara/cloth interior. This car stands out rolling down the street and gets compliments all the time. People can’t believe its an 04’. The tweaks I’ve made to take the car slightly further include a BMW performance cold air intake, wider front and rear series rubber and a carbon fiber strut tower front brace among many other things. See the list below.

I’ve spared no expense maintaining this car. If it’s not right I have to fix it. Avus Autosport of Glendale, CA can vouch for the condition of the car. Feel free to call and ask for Amir or Andrew at (818) 500-7663. I have all receipts from my ownership. I am the 5th owner and have garaged this car throughout ownership with regular detailing. Clean and clear title.

Car will be sold fully detailed w/ a fresh oil change. Must see to appreciate. Selling as I am moving overseas.

Note: You’ll notice some damage to the rear trunk roundel in the pics. I’ve since replaced with a brand new one.
