The F30 340i with the ZHP package is the latest baby M3 offering! Ok, ok... this week I drove my own car, and yes I'm a little biased to be calling it a baby M3, but these LCI F30's do bring a lot of value to the table for their current market value! Anywhere in the $25k-$35k range, these B58 powered vehicles can both put some serious power down, and provide you with relatively new tech and fairly reliable driving experience. Sure, with an ECU tune and few bolt-ons (we've all seen MK5 Supra content) these can make significantly more power, but the real beauty of the F30 is being able to enjoy a manual shifting rear-wheel drive sports sedan... and this car happens to have the beloved M-Performance Power and Sound Kit, MPPSK, which wakes up both the engine and the exhaust!

I unfortunately opted for the ZF 8 Speed, which I have partially come to regret, however, that transmission combined with the ZHP pack's 'M-Performance LSD' has essentially matched and pre-dated the G20 M340i drivetrain! Not to mention, the ZHP package does make this car 1 of 100 final production year F30's to hit the states, and the only stateside F30's to come with an LSD pre-optioned onto the car. This is a sweet car, and while the steering is a bit lackluster, the car knows how to kick the rear out just enough for some fun, and the aforementioned beast of B58 motor, has just enough power to feel adequate at the very least. Who am I kidding, it's a hell of a driving experience as far as contemporary BMW's go, and it will be missed when the lease ends :/

Watch the video to see the exhaust BURBLE!!! And of course, the Tall Boy Test!
