What rims are these? 330 instead of m?

[justice76]

I found this pic on the BMW site I cannot find the name of them>? I am exploring the idea of getting a 330 decked out instead of a m3.. What savings can I expect? What can I do to the 330 to make it more m like and what am I missing besides the badges that I cannot get..

Thanks again

That is a 330ci with Performance package which adds 10Hp, has a better stiffer suspension. The rim type is 135M. Its still no where near a M3. The 330i/ci with performance package is basically a E36 M3 performance wise. While its no where near the current E46 M3.

welcome to the board matt! go swing by bmwusa.com to price it out. the perf package, also known as the zhp, (bmw internal code) is a $3900 option that simply remakes a great ride. you can read it, but the 10 hps, type 135m rims, m-tek front m3 lip spoiler etc, simply makes the car. the cube trim on the inside is sweet too! i personally still like the sedan better, but it's because i really dislike the 04 facelift they gave the ci, prolly in anticipation of offering the zhp package for the coupe. (since if they offered zhp in an 03 or earlier model, there wouldn't be that big a difference in looks btw 330ci zhp vs m3.)

even tho i love my car, i'm still torn btw her and an m3. and if i had another $10k+ lying around, i might've sprung for the m, but i think i made the right decision.. (or so i tell myself..
