I'm New to this site, I own a 2003 330xi with M aerodynamics package (not ZHP, my mistake), 5 speed manual trans. BMW Canada cannot tell me how many were made however i've only seen one other one in Montreal. Some don't believe the car was ever offered but I have one! Anyone know of any others?

Moved to the model specific sub-forum.
Good luck with getting an answer!

No ZHP came with a 5-Speed, so lets try that again.
The ZHP was the performance package, and it was offered in MY-03, which was the same time all 330i's came standard with a 6-speed if ordered in a manual.
BMW does't track how many ZHP were built to my knowledge, unlike how many 330i's were built for example.

hi dworthy, Mine is a Canadian car so maybe that makes the difference. It is a 5 speed fully manual transmission with AWD, 330xi with Canadian version of ZHP. I suspect in '03 BMW did not offer a 6 speed AWD car hence my 5 speed. My car is very rare and does everything well. Hard to replace! I'd be curious how many BMW fans on this site have scene one or heard of one. I should scan my original sales receipt showing options...it was $69,000 CDN in 2002
No, BMW added the 6-speed as standard on all 330i's in YM-03, 03.2003 to be exact. I wonder if you have the ZSP - Sports Package.
Have you ran the VIN to confirm it is a ZHP car, and not just taken the word from the person who sold you the car? A Dealership can run the VIN and provide all the options that came with the car including the build date.

I daily drive a ZHP. I believe you have the m performance package. ZHP had a 6 speed manual or auto non-SMG transmission and was only available in the US.
http://www.zhpmafia.com/forums/showt...Package-Option
Question: Was the ZHP available outside of the United States?
Answer: No. The ZHP package was a United States-only option. But read below for more clarification on whether other countries received the US-equivalent of the ZHP package.
Question: And what about the BMW 330 vehicles in Canada that look like the ZHP in the United States?
Answer: Canada was different. In fact, BMW created the M Performance Package in Canada. It not only got the looks of its US counterpart, it also got the upgraded camshafts and engine tweaks. One thing that it didn't get, though, was the red needles on the instrument cluster. Moreover, the redline is at 6500 RPM, even though the car will rev to 6800 RPM -- just like its US ZHP counterpart. It also got the BMW Performance Package exhaust with the thinner walls (exactly like the one on the ZHP). Therefore, while it was not given the ZHP code name, it's simply a ZHP by another name. Indeed, it was given the option code of ZAM.
Thank you Robert Denali. you are correct. In Canada we use "ZHP" as it is better known than ZAM. My 330xi car was produced on August 6, 2002, is all wheel drive, 5 speed manual with following options; S715A (M aerodynamic package) and also Sports Package; both those alone totalled $10,600CDN in options. Whatever you want to call the car I do believe it is quite rare as I look at each e46 and any I spot with M-Sport front air dam are typically coupes...few sedans let alone sedans with all wheel drive. Question: in the USA could you ever purchase a ZHP with All Wheel Drive (330xi)?
