So this car showed up the a dealership I work for recently and I am not really sure what to think. As far as I know there is no 340i ZHP but on the sticker ZHP is definitely on there. Was this a mistake or is the M performance kit just called ZHP on the sticker?

It's interesting, considering the ZHP package is not listed on the BMW ordering guide for 2018 340i cars. Also, options usually aren't listed using the option code. I know there was a ZHP package available for the 4 series cars. Maybe it just means it's a port installed MPPSK, MPerf LSD, and M Perf aero upgrades.

Does your car have the M Perf LSD, M Performance engine cover, and front lip and rear spoiler?

I'm not sure since it hasn't gotten a PDI yet. I don't have the keys. As soon as I can get my hands on them I will look a little bit deeper into it. It does have the rear spoiler and MPPSK and rear diffuser but that could mean anything really.

I believe those three things would probably cost about $7000 all put together so that's plausibly what it is because the 435i ZHP also basically came with those options.

The M Perf LSD is definitely something I'd love to have.

If you ever get sick of your car, let me know. It's hard finding a MT car with the proper options (No M adaptive suspension and no VSS).

I actually have an F80. This car is available according to our inventory. I will have to double check with a manager but it looks like an special order car that somebody backed out of.

What is the ZHP? 7k then it must be MPPSK+LSD+lip+spoiler?

[sspade]

$7k package with zero description... strange, indeed.

just put the vin into a decoder. I didn't think dealers could just add non factory options to the sticker, usually it's that narrow dealer installed options sticker.

Already tried that, it is on there twice. Once as m performance and one as a different code with just ZHP.

Cool - I'll have to find one in a few years to go with my 2006 330ci ZHP!

[2000Z3M]

I have a 435i ZHP and it doesn't show up on vin decoders. I haven't heard of a 340i ZHP.

[xlover]

This is def some kind of port installed option, I guess covering most of the performance options

[NormanConquest]

I'm guessing spoiler, carbon caps, lsd, and maybe something in the inside of the car or the m brakes couldn't see them clearly in the posted picture
the exhaust doesnt look like it mppsk

[BEAR-AvHistory]

Have not heard of a 340 ZHP but if it exists should have all the track handling package, all the optional aero parts, MPPSK & the LSD.

The Performance Package, option code “ZHP,” created by BMW Individual available only in the United States and available only in a manual transmission.
I envy
More details in this article (a bit old but it probably still applies)

Not the same thing. Had the ZHP on my 2004 330Ci was a regular production option IIRC around $3K.

For the 435 coupe they offered a limited production run which essentially duplicated the 335is coupe equipment less the 7DCT but including the LSD. This there were 100 or so built. Was a US project.

Would someone please buy this car before I lose all will power and purchase it, would make a good mate for my 2016 435i ZHP

[BEAR-AvHistory]

Think the ZHP is a typeO. No front splitter on the car. Would guess its a ZMP

[upsidedownfunnel]

So it looks like an unadvertised special edition 340i. One last hurrah to signify the death of the manual?

Can anyone confirm that the car does NOT have adaptive suspension and VSS?

It's got a base automatic & plastic seats not a ZHP.
