This was my first car! I found a 330Ci ZHP with 41k miles for dirt cheap at a dealer who didn't know what they had! I really miss it. It really was a true BMW. I always got a dumb smile on my face when I would floor it and would stare at it when I would walk away. Such a great car.

Old days when engine sound used to came from the engine and not From the SPEAKERS

My ZHP has 227, 000 on it and it’s such a blast to drive everyday. I’m never getting rid of it. Thanks for posting a great video! ZHP mafia!

Just to give you an idea how good this car is: my weekend/track toy is a Porsche GT4, and I have one of these (6MT with cloth/alcantara) as a daily driver...and for its purposes, I find the ZHP no less appealing to drive. Could use a bit more power, but otherwise it's a damn near perfect daily driver (for the enthusiast, at least). Pretty cheap to run, too. I've had it for over 11 years and will not sell it.

170k on mine. I've had it for 12 years and I'll never sell it. In fact, I sold it once and bought it back a week later at a considerable loss. To me, it's the best and last of BMW's mechanical era without any of the M headaches. I have H&R race springs/sport struts on mine and it really tightened things up. In the 130k miles I've put on it it has only failed to start once (fuel pump). As part of the ZHP cult, this was a fun video to watch. Thanks for shooting it!

I love the sound of the M54. The first time I drove an E46 was after I drove an F30, and it was ridiculous how much smaller and more tossable the E46 felt. Awesome car and video!!!

[RandomR]

Yep that was for me the last true "regular" BMW with that old inline 6 BMW noise

[thechief]

This is my favorite BMW of all time. The E46 has, in my opinion, aged extremely well and the ZHP was a happy medium between the M3 and a normal 330i. Great video Tom! I'll check out your sponsor too, because, coffee.

Obsessed with my 330ci. Gotten multiple offers for it but I just can’t let it go. Puts a smile on my face every time I drive it

[fougetube]

One of the cars that got me into cars. My friend gave me a ride in his ZHP years ago. The first "fast" car I had been in. And I knew I wanted a fast car for myself 😂

[GTAfreakist]

I also own one and i have to say this car is still better than like 80% of todays cars.

[DoctaM]

What not to love. It sounds pretty good too. 👍

[SlickRick]

I bought one of these new back in '04, the steering and suspension tuning was one of the best I've ever encountered.

[discodroid]

Just when I thinking about buying one of these.

[tvim]

Took delivery of my 3rd ZHP today after selling my last one and regretting it, so true to form per your video commentary. Outstanding cars.

[aaaaachew]

Without a doubt one of the top 3 cars I have ever driven/owned.

[Gweeper]

everything you said about the ZHP is why I love my '13 E82 N51 6 speed m-sport, no iDrive. The last of the normally aspirated BMW straight 6 experiences.

[abulb.]

I just bought an 06 330Ci ZHP black/black. IT IS AMAZING

[alexthesaxguy]

Had mine for 2 years and it is by FAR the best car I’ve ever owned.

I absolutely love this BMW e46.
My first car was an 316i facelift sedan.

Now i drive an inline 6 convertible and I absolutely love it.

No matter how many times I drive a modern car - I LOVE my 46 convertible with his 6er, sound and 'smoothness'.
