I have an 04 ZHP Coupe and I love it. I picked the car up on July 31 2004 and I have almost 10,000 miles on it and each one of them has been nothing but pleasure. On the track the car acutally out runs a Ferrari 328 GTS QV (having done this at Pocono Raceway in August). Living in NJ our Auto Insurance rates are astronomical and for a 24 year old male with a clean driving record I would have been paying almost $6000 a year in insurance on an M3 where i am now paying $2900 on my ZHP. I would recomend this car to anyone.

I just picked up an Imola Red zhp(i) and effin love it. Holy Cow, sometimes I drive without the radio on because I love the sound of the engine noise.

I'm with the guy who posted ahead of me, I want to put a super charger in it, anyone have any ideas?

I have the '05 (A22) 6sp ZHP Coupe. I got it in Mar 1st and I can't find anything that I do not like or love about it. Everything is perfect! The power, sound, handling and looks is the best it can be. You should see all the head-turners when I drive by. That was almost worth the price of it. I feel like I'm driving a car noone has seen before! If you have a chance to get this soon to be rare car then DO NOT hesitate!

When did they start offering the ZHP in the UK? Last I saw they had the sport model with some of the trim, but it was not a ZHP.

Originally, it was for the US only, then they decided to offer it in Canada. I guess it's now in the UK now too.

I'm in the military stationed here in the UK and that's how I own an American -Spec ZHP [rofl] . They offer the 330Ci Clubsport and is basically the same thing. Theirs loses 20 kgs of insulation to hear the engine more, "Acoustics Package", M spoiler, Clubsport door sills and other various visual enhancements. Check out www.bmw.co.uk to find out more. Here is a review on it: [scratch] Copy and paste this link.

linked two things that make me applaud your decision to go w/ the zhp over CiClub. the style 71 rims, and the rear wing deck. altho just to have the m3 headlights, i'd almost give up on the lip spoiler and the sweet style 135 rims.

congrats on your purchase ^^, i can't belive this thread's still alive..

In Aus we don't get ZHP either. Only the Sport, I think it has everything minus the engine enhancements, and those specific ZHP wheels. It also has the leather M steering wheel and leather seats. I think suspension and handling is the same as the ZHP, as is the bodykit. I looked at the normal model (executive here, I think Prem. Pack. in US) and it just did nothing for me, looks too plain jane. I'd absolutely LOVE to drive a 330 ZHP... *druels*
