These cars are not especially quick by 2023 standards, I mean 0-60 mph in six seconds is impressive, but where they really shine is from 30-130mph. The firm ride becomes subtle, the handling and breaking are organic, reflexes are instantaneous, the compact interior prevents you from sliding about. The controls are designed to be used without you having to look at them. No silly sport mode, no gas sucking turbo. Still a pinnacle of automotive achievement 20 years.

Beauty. I had 2003 same color and spec ZHP sedan back in late 2000s. It was the perfect drivers car and miss it everyday

I regret selling my 04 imola alcantara 6mt. Too bad they’re so expensive now but might splurge for another e46 some day. Amazing cars! Good to see your car again (330i lover on mafia)

beautiful car, other than the small areas of corrosion the exterior looks like new

A permanent red magic marker will do a really good job of touching up the paint chips on the body every time you wash and wax it. Fix the fabric. There are upgrades. Otherwise a pretty decent car. Mine averages 23mpg. 49, 600 miles. You have Rust???

I'm curious if anyone knows why BMW decided to paint the front grill gray / white? On my first ZHP, which was a 2003 Imola Red, the grill was black. I'm on my third ZHP now, it's also Imola Red but it's a 2004. The grill is gray / white just the car in this video. What gives?

Is it worth engine swapping? I wanna make mine last a lifetime…
