New 340 owner

brk_05 · 01-06-2019, 08:56 PM

New to the forums, I picked up a 2018 340i with the ZHP package a few weeks ago. Absolutely love the car. Coming from two previous Audi's (S4 & S3). Good to be back in a manual. Gotta get 'em while you can.

Gorgeous car!

Good to see another 340 owner in Pittsburgh! You'll want to get some winters for that guy soon! I have the same summer wheel set up as you though!

Unfortunately, the winter wheels I had on my audi won't fit. On the plus side, I still have the audi for a couple more months until the lease is up, so I'll be using it when the weather is questionable. Will pick up a new winter setup next season.

ZHP as well? I know there are a lot of strong opinions on it not being worth the cost, but I disagree. For me, it was worth it to pay for it up front as I'd never actually get around to modding or doing anything myself. Plus I feel like I got a pretty good deal in my market since no one else wants a RWD manual in Pittsburgh, especially in December.

pjkbrit · 01-07-2019, 04:20 PM

Yes ZHP.... absolutely worth it to have all mods under factory warranty. It's missing two things I'd really like: heated steering wheel and a small plaque on the dash stating 1 of 100 etc. always a nice touch on a limited issue spec. I have the window sticker safely in the glove box with it's manual.

My two items I'd like to have but don't are the heated steering wheel (never had so I can live without) and PDC (again, can live without but really liked it on my last Audi).
