Does anyone know what type of stereo it has? Looks factory but never seen that type before? Only thing missing is manual, but I could live with that. Nice looking car.

Apex 693 Report post Posted December 1, 2013 Looks like it still has a tape deck. A tape deck in 2005? Who was still buying all the tapes? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MD13 492 Report post Posted December 1, 2013 Looks like it still has a tape deck. A tape deck in 2005? Who was still buying all the tapes? This! When was the last time you even saw a tape? The other thing I don't understand is why are there so few manual e46's? I'd quite like a 330, and the OP link does look very nice but way too far south, but you never see one with a manual box...

Stackers in the boot though, I'd imagine that car will have a stacker in the boot also. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

deeveus 81 Report post Posted December 2, 2013 (edited) just another Auto Jeeze I thought you liked Auto's Ron? I've had an E90, have an E46 320d manual now, but the E46 F/L in NZ or UK spec have to be still one of the better looking cars, built better than an E90 anyways.

Dogballs 115 Report post Posted December 2, 2013 (edited) the stereo is a nav system. uses the same nav drive as the full monitor versions.. I have a ZF Six speed box, and all the bits for a conversion (incl proper diff) sitting in the garage... very nice car for that..!

dr_kahu 8 Report post Posted December 2, 2013 just another Auto Well, my autistic concern is there's no HID. Doesn't float everyone's boat, but does for me in that range. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Phil-540i 166 Report post Posted December 2, 2013 Nice car - primo colour too. Probably lead a fairly sheltered life given where it is - nice long drives for it when it does head to a decent sized town........ just another Auto Yea, I thought Ron liked auto's too - can't see where this is coming from really. Might be an idea to 're-like' them, or he'll be f#cked in 10 years time & having to learn to walk everywhere again, (when theres even less manuals around then than now........) IMO, CVT's are a true sack of sh#t, but theres nothing wrong with a good auto............... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ugn 0 Report post Posted December 4, 2013 (edited) isnt this what they call the "ZHP" model/package/spec?Essentially yes but there are a few subtle differences as far as I can tell between this (NZ new 330i fl msport) and the US ZHP which has:175kw (different cams and slightly higher redline iirc) Red cluster needles 330i badge on bootlid Suede shifter boot and steering wheel Be good to know if there are any other differences. Mine also has the tape business radio and no xenons... And mine will become a manual one day, unfortunately only a 5 speed as I cant justify the extra $$$ for a sixth gear i will hardly ever use...
