BMW E46 330I ZHP ACTIVE AUTOWERKE SUPERCHARGED

"The BMW 330i ZHP has been widely regarded as the BEST Sports Sedan of all time.  Almost every BMW enthusiast will unanimously agree that the E46-generation 3 Series is the best 3er of all time, and was named to the Car and Driver 10 Best list for all years it was in production.  It strikes the perfect balance of handling dynamics, performance and comfort. Of all the sport sedans in history, the E46 3 Series might be the closest to perfection. So perfect, in fact, that when Cadillac was developing the ATS, it benchmarked the E46. It really makes a statement when a rival company is benchmarking your decade-old car for its newest sport sedan. The best version of the E46 sedan, though, is the BMW 330i ZHP.  The ZHP package for the E46 330i made what was already a superb sport sedan about as close to perfection as possible. New cams for the 3.0 liter naturally-aspirated I6 engine added 10 more hp. Although that’s not much more than the standard car’s power, the hotter cams brought the redline up and allowed it to rev faster. It also got a six-speed manual gearbox, rather than a five-speed and new suspension. The latter bit is the most important, though, as it made the 330i handle even more sweetly than it already did.  On top of that, it also got some new wheels, new body work and some new interior bits, including an alcantara steering wheel and shift boot, that make it look fantastic."
