I love the way the seller put up the pictures. Scroll through them quickly, and it feels like you're walking around the car!

A friend of mine had one of these. They look decent, but they are FWD and really not as sporty as they look.

Cool find though.

Good to know, so maybe something like this, 2005 330ci, ZHP, manual, 175K kms, $12,5K

FWIW, Canada never got the ZHP. We got the ZAM. Basically everything's the same, save for the camshafts and increased redline.

^ cool .. wasn't planning to buy it but for $12-13K range ... not sure if there are any better 'fun' options out there. Looks relatively well maintainted too.

not quite correct - canadian ZAM cars did get the uprated cam shafts and higher redline (mechanically). The guage cluster looks a little different (no red needles) but it'll rev out to 6800 instead of 6500 as indicated.

That car is overpriced though. ZAM doesn't double the value of a clean 330 in my mind - especially without the more desirable (to me) cloth seats.

hmmmm ZHP e46 sedan with the cloth m-sport seats. Winner in my books.

ZHP/ZAM are really desirable cars. Brings some e36 m3 feel to an e46 which comes with better safety/newer technology. People say that e46s are better built as well, but thats not totally my experience. I've broken more interior trim and shit in the wagon than the e36.
I think if you get a well maintained example, they can be some of the best and most rewarding cars you can own for the price. If you get one thats neglected, it's so hard to recover from as it just snowballs on these cars. Can totally be one of the worst cars for the price at that point.

I wouldn't pay 12-13K for it. I loved my 330CI. I bought it for $7500 about 3 years ago (?), with 196K KM iirc. At 175K, its pretty much the same maintenance schedule. The 330CI does not have major maint. sched that really needs to be done at 200K. The only difference between mine and this one, is this one is facelifted (diff headlights) and that this is a 6SPD vs a 5SPD. You could really buy a non-Msport 330CI and just make sure it has the .712 yellow tag rack.

Upgraded suspension doesn't mean jack all if it's still stock. Stock sport suspension is the same. There's no actual diff between a non m-sport E46 and a m-sport e46 suspension. Bilstein B4 also isn't an upgrade. That's just refresh to stock. MSport control arms are different. But at this mileage, it'll need to be refreshed anyway. Use MeyleHD.

If you are planning to buy it, check what he means by full cooling system. Again check if DISA valve and VANOS have been rebuilt. Check if Rear Trailing Arm Bushings, Subframe mounts, and Diff mounts have been refreshed. These are the expensive ones to do. Check if strut towers are mushroomed. Check if rear subframe is cracked.

Between 190K and 260K km this is what I had to do. Granted a lot of things I did was because "while I'm in there". A lot of these things are preventative.

I've done, rear trailing arm bushing, front control arm + FCABs (MeyleHD), engine/trans mounts, shock/struts (bilstein B8+), rear strut reinforcement, front strut reinforcement, chassis mounted shifter, shifter bushings, power steering lines, cooling lines, radiator, expansion tank, valve cover gasket, DISA valve, VANOS rebuild, axleback, brake pads, rotors, oil sensor, pcv/ccv pipes, vanos line, camshaft position sensor, belts and pulleys, and I think that's as far as I can remember LOL

I can confirm this having both a fully refreshed 330CI MSport II and an E36 M3. The E36 M3 reminds me of my 330, and it's great.

this.

cloth alcantara. so good.

I have cloth alcantara rear seats for the coupe for sale LOL. Nerd fact, the code is G7AT - Stoff Laser/Anthrazit

It has ONLY 163,00- KM's. VERY LOW KM's

The 3800 Series 2 engine is rated as one of the best most reliable engines that GMC has ever built!

This is Buick's ultimate top of their line luxury car

Has every possible luxury option available for the year---except it doesn't have a sunroof.

9 Speaker "Concert 3" factory stereo with 115 watts of power

Individual climate controlled air conditioning and heater

Dual heated seats

Medium Blue Metallic paint outside and grey leather interior that seats 6 in total comfort. Huge 19 cubic foot trunk.

Very good condition, no rust, dents, or accidents, serviced regularly.

It looks much better than it shows here. It was raining and overcast when I took the pictures.

Call Don show contact info

If you don't have a GPS Smartphone, my home at 787 Citadel Drive in Port Coquitlam is easy to find from off the Mary Hill Bypass and then access Citadel Drive from either Shaugnessy Street or Pitt River Road!!!!

Don has a killer phone number. It might be worth more than the car.

xxx-999-9990 (leaving out the local non-604 area code for the sake of the spambots)

Calling GS8.

Or was it GC8? :suspicious:

Probably best to include that part considering the buyers demographic of old and/or poor

I hope that’s 115w RMS cause 115w peak power from 9 speakers is actually pretty depressing. Ain’t no concert lol

that seatbelt retractor housing!

Crackpipe price.

For 12k I'd rather get an E46 touring and a salvage M3 and make a S54 wagon.

^^ Or a 335:troll::troll::troll::joy:

^^ good to know what a decent price range would be for these 330ci's. Still in the 'would be nice to have one on a summer weekend to do the Duffy Lake Loop' but not really close to actually buying one.

Do you drive a Rolls Royce? My Toyota has 5 clicks and my Datsun is Yes or No.

Damn you had yes or no?

My Datsun 240z is NOPE or perhaps/ good luck son.

If you’re someone who cruises BAT or Cars+Bids and sees what they’ve been selling for on there then it doesn’t seem total crack pipe. Not at all saying he’ll get that or that’s what it’s worth but just can see the logic for someone trying to gauge a price based on Disneyland prices.
