Seller Comments

2003 330i ZHP transformed through 15+ years of careful, methodical development. My objective was to create a street and track weapon that maintains the refinement and quality BMW intended - just with significantly more capability. Every modification on this car follows a simple principle: if BMW were to build it this way, what quality would they use? No cheap parts, no shortcuts, no compromises. This is an enthusiast-owned car where maintenance has been approached as investment, not expense. This car is fast, reliable, well-sorted, and ready to be enjoyed. Whether you're looking for weekend back-road blasts or track day capability, this car delivers both with the refinement and quality that only an OEM+ approach can provide.
