Performance Package?

RRGOO7 · 01-01-2007, 10:52 AM

Are there any performance packages being released for the E90/E92 like there was for the 330's?

But the performance package was basically just a marketing package (sorry ZHP owners). It looked a little better than other E46's, but that was about it.

ZHP featured different gearing, hotter cams, ECU modification, and better tuned suspension. Far from a marketing package. :rocks:

I wish every day BMW had a ZHP for the E90. E90 SP too soft, E46 M3 too few doors

Well if you look at the e46, the ZHP package didnt come out until a few years before they discontinued the e46. Considering the e90/e92 is brand new, i doubt you'll see any "performance packages" for a while. Im sure they'll have it sometime in the lifespan of the e90/e92's. Just not anytime soon.

And the ZHP was definetly not just a marketing package.

Honestly, the 335i is almost there right out of the box. I'm not really sure if BMW would want a ZHP variant of the E90/92 just because it might take away too many M3 sales. A

My guess, BMW may bump the official hp by 20 (still under 333 of the E46M3, just as the E46ZHP had less hp than the e36M3), tweak the suspension, add a shorter rear diff, and a new body kit (probably offer a Euro M-kit for US).

IMO..the suspension is only marginally softer, but the longer wheelbase of the E90 is responsible for some of that feeling.

uh--no.

Actually, if I didn't have to have an A/T then I would've kept my ZHP.

AJ, you noob. My stock ZHP can do the 1/4 in 14 flat.

KL2DC · 01-02-2007, 12:45 PM

It'll be a while until the ZHP packages. AJ is half right though, the ZHP's timing (in the US market) was a marketing gimmick designed to breathe some last minute sales momentum eventhough the ZHP was a serious performance package that transformed the E46.
