r/e46

I saw this post asking people which BMW had this trim and everyone in the comments said ZHP.

My e46 coupe also has this and I haven’t heard the ZHP term before.

I did some research and apparently it’s an upgrade that was available in North America.

The weird thing is, that my European e46 coupe also has most of the features that the American ZHPs have, including the nice bumpers, the interior trim etc.

What was the equivalent of ZHP in Europe and can I consider my car a ZHP?

From many different wheel setups to a interior swap, to a tub28 swap and tons more inbetween, this was the last car i expected to own for over 6 years(and more to come) being more of an e36 guy, but i think its grown on me since buying it in 2020 haha, glad it worked out the way it did with this thing

I have a nearly complete kit of front and rear axle of a m3. I'm currently taking them apart and restoring them. I'm not sure if the m3 and my base model 320i share the same plugs and cables for the abs and wear sensors. I'm also replacing the abs block, controller and booster with the m3 ones. Can I keep my wiring? Or do I need the m3 wiring for these sensors as well?

Hello guys, today I parked the car normally. I drove it for about 5 minutes from one place to another, and then I noticed this water leak. I checked the coolant and it was low, so I topped it off. I drove again and had no overheating issues while driving — I drove for about 20 minutes. But after parking it again, the water started leaking again from the same spot.

I checked the coolant level and it wasn’t significantly low. I drove it again to another place, and the same thing happened. Whenever I turn the car off, the leak starts about two minutes later. I checked the coolant again and it seemed fine — the float indicator was floating normally.

Also, the AC was not running.

Has anyone experienced a problem like this before? It’s a BMW 330Ci 2005.

Took me over two years of searching, but it the end it was all worth it. These cars are amazing and I couldn't have asked for a better example. Couple of things to fix up (removing the screen) but otherwise this thing is stupid clean, I'm almost afraid to drive it.

Would you recommend 18 or 19 inch wheels? Also I’m looking to buy either lowering springs or a coilover suspension.

Feel free to post your cars in the comments for some inspiration. I don’t want to spend too much money on it, so maybe someone in Germany/Austria has something cheap for sale. The car already has over 400,000 km on it and it’s just my daily driver.

Hi,

I have some Rock Chips on my a pillars and want to get rid of Them, as cheap as possible. Is it still OK for smart repairs by a Shop? What can i do on my own?

Hello guys I was wondering if this drain plug looks like my coolant leak problem or could it be my whole bracket? M54 auto trans 2002
