2004 BMW 330ci ZHP w/ Manual Transmission

I am the original owner of this beautiful. well-maintained Mystic Blue ZHP. purchased in 2004 and garaged/driven in San Diego for the duration of it's life. Clean title and Carfax. and never been in an accident. It does have a couple bumps and bruises which I will detail below. Serviced and maintained at BMW of San Diego and EuroAutoSpot in Miramar. Carefully washed and detailed using only Zaino products and Mobil 1 full synthetic for all oil changes. every 5-7. 00 miles. If you're shopping for a used ZHP. you're already familiar with the features that set it apart from a normal 3-series. It's an amazing car inside and out. and a blast to drive. This ZHP was my daily driver for 10 years. and I have racked up the miles (mostly highway). Amazingly and to my surprise. it has proven to be exceptionally reliable. with no mechanical issues other than a faulty starter a few years back. As best as I can tell. the engine revs and pulls right up to red line like the day I bought it. The manual shifter snicks tightly and accurately through all 6 gears. and the steering is flawless. Known issues:The Harman Kardon radio stopped working last year. This is an undiagnosed problem that appeared out of the blue. I'm not sure if it requires replacement. or if it is as simple as a blown fuse. There are two noteworthy areas of cosmetic damage to the car: the first is a 12" x 12" (approximate) scrape on the lower right side. just forward of the rear wheel. See attached pictures. Hardly noticeable from afar or in low light. but quite obvious up close or in full light. from the right side. The second area is the front grill and hood. where some moron decided to back into me at a light. The impact was very minor. but just enough to jar the grill and make a small dent in the hood. This is virtually unnoticeable at any distance and I decided not to fix it. but if you're looking the car over closely. you will see it. There is also a small piece missing from the honeycomb grill. where a rock hit it on the freeway. The brake pads (front and back) are thin and need replacement soon. Aside from the above. the only other obvious signs of wear would be the bottom of the front bumper. which has some scrapes and chips. typical of a car of this age. Also. the rubber cladding around the windows has degraded and is cracked. The rest of the exterior is in good to excellent condition for a car of this age. The paint looks beautiful and it still turns heads! The good:The rear tires are brand new - less than 50 miles on them (Pirelli P Zero Neros - same as the fronts). You can see the little rubber "whiskers" in the attached photo. The 18" wheels themselves are all in really good shape. The Alcantara upholstery (suede-like) holds up wonderfully and looks much better than a leather interior in a car of this age. This car has xenon headlights (an $800 option at the time) and a moon roof. and of course the ZHP performance package which adds the M sport suspension. some engine and interior upgrades. sport seats. 18" wheels. etc. I also added an iPhone docking cord for music (the cord tucks away into the glove box). Most importantly. the engine and transmission run flawlessly and the car still feels connected to the road. like the day I brought it home. No accidents. clean title. clean Carfax.
