Default FS: BMW 330ci M-Sport for sale: lots of pictures

Priced just reduced to $16,900,

Hi All,
For sale is my 2005 BMW 330ci M-Sport with the ZHP package.
She is in extremely good condition, has had zero accidents, and of course has a clean title. I've always used floor mats in the front and rear. The paint is very shiny and there are no dents or dings anywhere on her.

To me it's been a great balance of practicality with amazing performance. The pictures barely capture the beauty and presence of the car in person.

Options include: Xenon Lights, Harman Kardon Stereo, and Rare ($3,900) ZHP Performance Package.

The car is 100% Stock. In my opinion, BMW tuned these perfectly at the factory with upgraded:
- Performance: More horsepower, more torque, increased max RPM, lower ride height, wider M wheels, sports automatic/manual transmission, & lower gearing.
- Interior: Alcantara seats, steering wheel, & interior. Black Cube trim & anthracite headliner.
- Complete list of features at the bottom of the page.

Like a good OCD owner I've cared for her meticulously, always hand washing and waxing her with Zaino Brothers products. All maintenance has been performed according to schedule; the records, since brand new, will be included with the sale. She has been garaged the vast majority of her life and the beautiful condition shows, I often get complimented on the paint and interior. She has 86k highway miles since I commuted between Orlando and Fort Lauderdale for 2 years (on the turnpike for 3 hours every Monday and Friday).


If you have any questions or comments please feel free to contact me, John, via e-mail or call me at 321-258-4457.




































Many US magazines consider the 330ci M-Sport ZHP to be one of the best handling/balanced BMWs when produced. Below is the list of M-Sport features that was listed on bmwusa.com

Bump for an extremely clean e46. This would be my ideal DD if I had the money

Thanks Chase.
I'm definitely going to miss her.


Ubercooper,

Default Price reduced, Rennlist special

Hi All,
She's still sitting in my garage happy as a clam. I'm reducing the price to $16,900.

Also, I have a standing offer for $15,000 so no need to make offers lower than that.


Warm Regards,
John

Thanks Gregg.

All,
I've had 3 offers in the $15,000 to $16,500 range, but no one has stepped forward with money.

If anyone's interested in an amazingly good condition 330 M-Sport give me a call at 321-258-4457, I'm ready and willing to sell.


Regards,
John

Hi Zmonsta,
According to the paint code it is: Sparkling Graphite Metallic. From pictures it seems very close to steel gray. Personally I love the color, even more than black, which used to be my favorite. :-)


Regards,
John
