Since 1975, BMW’s hugely successful 3-Series has been a serious contender in the compact executive car market, and has spawned the iconic M3 along the way. The 3-Series is considered the gateway to BMW sedan ownership for many, whether it’s a brand-new one straight off the factory floors, or a pre-owned one going to an eagerly waiting new owner. This 2005 BMW 330Ci ZHP is a fine example of the fourth generation, popularly known as the E46. It’s a convertible, as well as an original ZHP model, which is a performance package for the North American market. The ZHP package added cosmetic as well as mechanical upgrades to the car. This example has done just 67,100 miles so far, and represents a fine mix of style, drop-top practicality, and exciting performance. Three keys as well as the owner’s manual and booklets are included in the sale.
This 2005 BMW 330Ci ZHP presents itself in a dark gray paintwork that looks almost black, and sports a matching black convertible top. Further personifying the performance machine mien are the silver multi-spoke alloys that wear low-profile Michelin Pilot Sport 4S high-performance tires that are reportedly new. At the rear, twin tailpipes on the left hand side of the bumper signify that this may not be the mighty quad-exhaust-wielding M3, but it’s still potent. The interior continues the dark theme with accommodations for four on black leather seats. A strip of lighter carbon fiber trim bisects the top and bottom halves of the dash for some interesting visual acuity. Being a premium German product, you’ve got ample tech for 2005, including climate control, electrically adjustable front seats with seat heaters, an infotainment system with color screen, CD player, Harman/Kardon sound system, multifunction steering wheel, and a set of clear, analog dials with BMW’s signature font. The rev counter is redlined at 6,800rpm, another indicator of the ZHP package which raises the redline from 6,500rpm on regular models.
This 2005 BMW 330Ci ZHP is from a time when the second and third digit do correspond to engine displacement, and as such, packs a 3.0L (181ci) M54B30 in-line six cylinder that puts out 235hp and 222lb-ft of torque on the ZHP variant, 10hp and 8lb-ft more than a non-ZHP one. This is sent to the rear wheels via a six-speed automatic transmission. The ZHP package also brings sportier camshafts, revised engine tuning including increased redline, shorter final drive, firmer suspension, larger anti-roll bars, lower ride height, and heavy-duty steering rack to name a few things. This car has also reportedly received a new cooling system and undergone a recent oil change.

The E46 generation of BMW’s 3 Series is often regarded as one of the brand’s best-balanced platforms, and the ZHP Performance Package elevated it into something truly special. This 2006 BMW 330Ci Convertible represents the final year of production for the E46, equipped with the desirable ZHP package that sharpened dynamics while retaining the car’s grand touring usability. Finished in Monaco Blue Metallic with a Sand Montana leather interior and a black soft top, this convertible shows just 47,379 reported miles, making it a particularly well-preserved example of a modern classic.
Since 1975, the BMW 3-Series has cemented a reputation as a fantastic compact luxury car, and one of the best-driving ones in the segment. Truly living up to BMW’s Ultimate Driving Machine tagline, the 3-Series has been through six generations and is currently on the seventh. Along the way, we’ve gotten the superb M3, as well as sedans, station wagons, coupes, and convertibles. This 47,162-mile 2006 BMW 330Ci is a fifth-generation convertible, and is up for sale from Traverse City, Michigan. The car includes the ZHP Performance Package, a smooth in-line six under the hood, and of course, a power-operated drop-top. What more could you ask for?

BMW’s range has grown quite a bit over the past decade or so. You’ve got their electric ‘i’ range of course, then there’s the X range of SUVs, and of course the well-known number series of cars. Even here, gaps have been filled – for example the best-known 3,5 and 7 have now been joined by 1,2,4,6 and 8. Today, we have a 2026 BMW M4, which as you can possibly guess, is from the 4-Series. The 4-Series sits just above the 3-Series, as a spin-off from its coupe and convertible variants. But wait, BMW also made a 4-Series Gran Coupe, which is a four-door. Confusing much? Don’t worry because, as the name tells us, this M4 from Valparaiso, Florida, is the hottest 4-Series you can buy, and it’s a sleek two-door coupe. With a highly sought after premium exterior color and a superbly potent twin turbo six under the hood, it’s the perfect family car for an enthusiast, replete with only 1,300 miles to its name.
This 2015 BMW i8 stands out as a coveted early-production example equipped with the top-tier Pure Impulse World package, making it one of the most premium configurations available. Finished in Crystal White Pearl Metallic w/ Frozen Blue Accents, it carries the most iconic i8 look while pairing it with the Pure Impulse Carum Spice Full Perforated Leather interior—BMW’s highest interior specification for the model year. The combination of hybrid performance, exotic butterfly-door styling, and a $150K original MSRP positions this i8 as a futuristic grand-touring sports car with a luxury-focused package rarely seen on standard trims.
Forged from the desire to really make the Ultimate Driving Machine, the BMW M3 first appeared on BMW’s E30 generation of 3-Series, way back in 1986. Since then, every 3-Series, right up to the current G80 generation has had a corresponding M3. Throughout its life so far, the M3 has had four, six and eight-cylinder power. It’s enjoyed natural aspiration and forced induction. It’s been made in coupe, convertible, sedan and station wagon forms. But one thing has always remained true, its amazing enthusiast-pleasing driving manners. You see, the M3 isn’t about outright speed and power. It's never been about that. Instead, its about providing a package that’s engaging to drive and practical to live with. This G80-era 2023 BMW M3 Competition xDrive Sedan is living proof of that ethos. It’s a four-door sedan with all-wheel drive, the Executive Package, Carbon Fiber Trim Package and even a Matte Black PPF! And yet, it’s supremely amazing to drive while being able to carry your family on their regular errands. If you’re interested, this 21,380-mile car is currently available in Lima, Ohio.
