Yup, BMW is making a comeback with the ZHP model for the 435i. That being said, they're only planning on doing 100 of these that come equipped with LSD. More info here: BMW unveils the special edition BMW 435i ZHP Coupe (http://www.bmwblog.com/2015/05/20/bmw-unveils-the-special-edition-bmw-435i-zhp-coupe/)

Ahahaha only 100 with LSD?


The 135i fucking blows without LSD. It is the single biggest weak point on the car but it is a very, very major one.


Hated the e-diff on that car.

Exhaust “burble” sound during engine overrun conditions. The M Performance Power Kit ensures an optimized engine and exhaust system sound. The exhaust “burble” is enabled in Comfort mode and amplified even further in Sport mode. As a result, the car sound amplifies ‘performance’.

So enhanced fake engine sound? That's supposed to be a "performance" feature?

The ZHP was particularly special on e46 sedans because the e46 m3 was never available as a sedan. Since you can get the M version in a 2 or 4 door nowadays, really curious what BMW was thinking with this "special" package. Also curious as to how much it's gonna cost to be 1 of 100.

Probably the same or even more than the base M4
A loaded 435 is basically the same price as the m4

Sport display now shows increased power figures (400hp and 400 lb-ft) to reflect increased performance

Crazy how pointless this car is. I'll buy an optionless m3 for less, and then sell it for double what the ZHP is worth 10 years down the road, just like every single person with a base model no sunroof, cloth interior, 6 speed 03-04 e46 m3 is is doing right now.

If money is limited, buy a base 335i, chip it and beef up the suspension.

Its just the fact that people will buy ANYTHING with a BMW badge on it. Especially if it has a "limited edition" decal somewhere on the car. A prime example is this...

:heckno:

I have a feeling it's gonna creep up on the M4 pricing

Gonna end up at Autowest being bought by clueless Chinese families.

Mom: "M4 is too fast for you, buy 435!"
Son: " :okay: 435 ZHP..."
Daughter: "It's white!!"

In all seriousness, I think BMW did a better job at the E92 335iS, the price crept towards M3 territory but it was different. It was faster significantly, it had M-DCT. The exhaust made music :megusta:

ZHP was only cool in the E46 because no M option was available for the sedan.

I really don't see the need for ZHP coupe when M4 exists...

Everytime I see your posts and that retarded avatar I keep assuming you're just some kid who is either a master troll or just stupid. But I look at the date since you were a member and I think..wow..this guy is probably in his 30s...FailFish

Wasn't there already an M435i that sat between the 435i and the M4?
