E46 M3 vs. E46 ZHP: Are ZHP’s Better Cars Than An M3??

Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары

The E46 ZHP was a unique option package offered for the 2003 to 2005 3-series BMW’s. Bmw included a host of tasteful modifications that improved the performance of these cars, and only a very limited number were produced. This rarity has helped it retain more value than e46’s without this package and bumped its value into E46 M3 territory. So is the E46 ZHP worth its price compared to an E46 M3? Or is the ZHP not worth the hype. As an owner of both the ZHP and M3, I tell you the answers to these questions.

    I love my manual ZHP coupe, which I bought for cheap! It's just great experience to drive it everyday!

    If one is buying a $10k-15k M3, there is going to be a ton of preventative maintenance that needs done.

    Must be lucky.. I bought mine for 14k with 107k miles on it and haven't had one issue with it for 5 years. I haven't been to a shop or had any fails. It's possible to find a good M3 if you look hard enough.

    I have a 330i (non-ZHP) and have owned many M3s. I originally bought the 330 to S54 swap but I’m starting to think that the M54B30 needs to stay in this car, it’s the perfect daily driver and a little softer all around, which is nice at times.

  • @enigma5177
    @enigma5177 Жыл бұрын

    Correct me if Im wrong, but I think the reason for the improved steering is due to the different spec rack and pinion component compared to the 330i and M3. I have a ZHP sedan and an M3, both E46s.

    what size sway bars do you have on the ZHP? Pleas look at the paint smudge on the driver's side. If you have a purple smudge on the front bar, that's a 24mm and if you have orange in the rear, that's a 20mm. Other than that, you have 23 and 18mm. Thanks in advance.

    Never mind brother. I just got to that part on the video where you say that you have the M3 front bar and the Convertible in the rear. Thanks and keep the ZHP.
