Column: Is ZHP a special BMW? - BMW BLOG (blog)
Alright, I am gonna go out there and say it. The ZHP is a special BMW. The Performance Package, option code “ZHP,” created by BMW Individual was available only in the United States as a $3,900 option package on the 2003-2006 BMW 330i. This outfitted the 330i with many BMW Performance Parts as part of a comprehensive... BMW proclaimed that the ZHP “brings track-inspired excitement to your daily drive. I had the good fortune to attend BMWCCA?s Octoberfest at Barber Motorsports Park last fall and had a blast autocrossing as well as driving on track in my ZHP. I wasn?t the fastest out there but found the ZHP provides a track capable blend of the patented solid BMW feel, great feedback through its steering rack and yet still offers four door year round practicality. Well I live in the snow belt and have dedicated snow tires and wheels and picked a ZHP with heated seats, so no problem. The ZHP was the only option package in the 3 series to offer the Motorsport color, Imola Red. BMW lowered the ride height by giving it a modified suspension with firmer springs, special control arms and stiffer dampers as well as -0. 5 degree negative camber. Source: www.bmwblog.com
