The car has the ZHP track package. Don't know of people running 19's at the track.

OP, what tires came on that car? Run flats or go flats?

Michillen PSS. BMW put a pump and fix a flat in the trunk. Only down side is I had to get winter rims and tires. The rims are the BMW 398 which you can get as an option, but the orbit grey was only for the ZHP

Doesn't the ZHP come with the carbon fiber tips on the m performance exhaust ?

Looks good OP!

It really is a beautiful car! I love the ZHP package! Is it weird that I like the looks of this car over an M4!?

But I prefer the M3 over a regular F30....

I know I'm weird!

So glad to see your pics! I picked up my ZHP at Richmond BMW a couple of weeks ago and have been trying not to abandon all work & family responsibilities in favor of driving it ever since. Traded in my beloved, but outmoded, 2008 Audi A4 quattro S-line (was considering a new S3 after all the great reviews, but drove one and it felt fast, for sure, but kinda cheap—and never even considered the S5 because it looks like a Toyota Solara).

The car is a BEAST, the pickup is sick and the handling is beautiful. And the all-black exterior wins stares of envy everywhere (I had my 435i insignia removed at the dealer; the chrome seemed to clash and I like the stealth "what is it?" effect it gives).

Such a beautiful thing. And only 100 examples worldwide. I've read that you can spec a 435i the same way if you check the right boxes, but if you read the PR from Bavaria it seems like they've done a unique software mapping or something? Some reviewers / commenters have said it's overpriced but please, it drives like heaven and an M4 with similar equipment is easily another $15-20K (and if you're non-track, you're risking serious tickets to taste the extra 90 hp or whatever).

Anyway, nice choice.

MuhlenBavarian - Can you please tell me where you read about checking the right boxes to spec a 435i the same way. I just love the looks of the OPs car, but I bet it is very difficult to find one of 100 ZHPs.

My dealer told me this as well when I got it. Basically you could get the front lip, rear spoiler, rear diffuser all M-performance stuff. You could get the PPK as well. I bet the PPK has some different tuning for this car, and I think the suspension is also special for this car. So you could get close to the ZHP but I think it will still be difficult to get it spot on. Thanks for the like!!

Totally agree. I almost picked up an S4 but the Audi dealer just wouldn't work with me.

This car is simply amazing to drive. I drove a similar msport 435, but with xdrive and this car is hands down more planted and quicker. I think the LSD is a big reason why this car handles the way it does. I just didn't want to spend the extra for the M4 for my daily driver. This ZHP is simply well thought out and I'm surprised it's not getting more reviews from the Mags.

A good set of snow's is all you need. When I lived in NY I had a set of Blizzaks on one of my e28's and it handled well. GL.

Better keep it after the lease expires! 1 of 100 is pretty collectible.

pimp4cheddar · 01-20-2016, 01:50 PM

Saw one at my local dealership.

It's amazing how well the lip and wheels look on it. Truly a stunning car. The sticker price gave me sticker shock tho...

Very nice car!

When I first saw it I had sticker shock as well. I went in to lease a different car but the sales manager came to me with this one and I couldn't pass up the offer.
