I went for the Performance pkg. My son has a 2003 330ci with sport & premium & 18 inch wheels. He convinced me to try the ZHP and I liked it. My car is 3 mo old and it has 4200 miles on it so I do my share of driving in it. Whatever you want in options can be ordered separately. I have Steptronic, Moonroof, Leather, Xenons, Assist, fold down back seats, etc. You also get the M-aerodynamics pkg which costs a bundle to do later on on non ZHP car. The exhaust note on a ZHP car is slightly more pleasant as well. Eighteen inch wheels are about a $900 option on the std 330 and come with the ZHP. The black cube or silver cube trim is exclusive to the ZHP too. The suspension differences you may or may not notice in normal street driving. Front sway bars are 23.5 mm on ZHP and 18.5 on the std. The rears are 18 mm std and 18.5 on the ZHP. The 10 hp difference is small but the throttle response is quicker. Rear end ratios differ as well. The 6 speed comes with a 2.93 in std form but 3.07 in ZHP cars. The steptronic rear is 3.38 in std form but a 3.64 in ZHP equipped cars, the same as an M3. I hope this helps but either way you should be happy. One other caveat is the resale will be higher on the ZHP due to its limited availablity. By the way there is an imola red six speed with leather and moonroof sitting in the local dealers lot as of yesterday (Desert BMW of Henderson).
