“The Driveway” continues today with an exciting showcase – everyone’s ultimate favorite, the BMW 330Ci ZHP. Even better, this one comes with the six-speed manual transmission. The ZHP package on the E46 was one of the best combination of options ever put together by BMW. The Performance Package, option code “ZHP,” created by BMW Individual was available only in the United States as a $3,900 option package on the 2003-2006 BMW 330i. This outfitted the 330i with many BMW Performance Parts as part of a comprehensive application that changed to overall performance and handling as well as enhanced its looks.
BMW proclaimed that the ZHP “brings track-inspired excitement to your daily drive.”
