I'm also searching for a 2005 or 2004 330i ZHP but in black. I've been looking everywhere for 6 months, any help would be appreciated.

6 Speed
Fold down rear seats - Hockey Bag Requirement
Beige leather is preferred but by now I can live with black

motosport3 on the boards sold his in Sunnyvale CA for around $19k with 46k miles. No fold down rear seats though or I would swooped it =(

Based on your specs you'll be looking for a long time.. That is quite a picky list for a used car.

Those are preferences not requirements and I am patient

No mine's not for sale (though it is almost exactly what you're looking for, except it has lower miles). I too was looking for a ZHP with leather, but since getting used to the alcantara interior, I wouldn't trade it for leather. That's partially because the alcantara seats are more comfortable in hot weather (a serious consideration in Arizona!) but I also really like the look and feel of the alcantara seats (and the fact they're not nearly as slick as leather seats).

Good luck with your search - the car you're looking for is (to me) the perfect all-rounder (performance, economy, looks and utility).

I'm about to move to AZ for work and am looking for a ZHP and you just sold me on making sure I get alcantara seats.

I was also looking for a ZHP 6-speed with fold-down rear seats. I saw a ZHP sedan with fold-down rear seats at a small dealer in San Diego but it had like 93,000 miles and Steptronic. The dealer was asking around $13,700. Having concluded I can't afford a low-mileage ZHP in good condition, I am considering other options, including maybe Jason330's 330Ci. Test drove it around the block last Saturday and it's a sweet ride, so am keeping it in mind as I shop.

Still looking.

There has to be one out there, (so many on the east coast )
