I took delivery on March 17th. Car is amazing. I'm getting better every day with the clutch. Just takes practice and that's the fun part. One problem I have had since I got it was the SES light coming on and then going off a day later. I called my SA yesterday and he told me to bring it in this morning. They checked the codes while I waited and said it was an air intake sensor that is apparently shorted. They didn't have one in stock but said they would order it and I can come back next week. It's not affecting the performance of the car as far as I can tell. Other than that, car is perfect. The options I have are Jet Black, Black Leather, Black Cube Trim, Moonroof, Xenons, and Heated Seats. I LOVE the xenons. Attached are some pictures I took today after my first cleaning of my new ride. :D

Very nice ride. Time for modding!!!!

By the way, 20% window tint would help make your car look better, and they block those pesky UVB/UVA rays.

Looks very hot. Lots of people here seem to be getting the ZHP package these days. You didn't see them, then all of a sudden, there are quite a few of them. Congrat's on the buy.

nasa43, if you don't mind... howmuch did she run you? I am going to be ordering nearly identical car except that I want a coupe, and I've been quoted around 44 :(

Exactly what is ZHP? Is it the same as the new Performance Package for the 3 series sedan?

MSRP on mine was just under $42K, and I got it around $37K (about $1500 under invoice...)

you got hooked up though...

btw, do you have a pic of your silver cube trim? I wonder which I'd rather have in my car.

I had no idea that the price of the ZHP was getting up there. I thought that it was maybe around $35k-$38k, I guess I was wrong. It is still cheaper than the M3 though by a good margin, and is only like what, .8 slower than the M3?

the price of the base 330 coupe is like 37k, zhp package is 4k. put on leather, cold weather package and xeons and you are in mid 40s. not to mention leather and sunroof.

Yeh, it definitely adds up, but there isn't a single option I regret getting.

No pics of my interior yet. Eugene, the ZHP supplants the Sports and Premium Package so usually works out to be about the same as a nicely loaded up 330...
