Those who hedged their bets on a base model M3 instead of a ZHP 330 ended up with much better resale value on their vars though.
For those who aren't familiar with the ZHP cars, here's a list of improvements
Lightweight flywheel
More aggressive camshaft
Free-flowing exhaust with 35 mm matte stainless steel dual exhaust pipes
3.07 final drive gear ratio in rear differential
Tachometer with 300 rpm-higher redline
Suspension (comparisons are made to sport package suspension)
New M suspension, more "sporty" than standard sport package
Firmer springs (front +6%, rear +8%)
Firmer shocks (jounce: front +50%, rear +20%), (rebound: front +35%, rear -8%)
Larger diameter anti-roll bars: 23.5 mm front (v. 23.0), 18.5 mm rear (v. 18.0)
Lower ride height by 15 mm (.6 inches) utilizing shorter auxiliary springs
-.5 degrees of camber
Reinforced right & left front lower control arms with all-metal ball joints (more rigid forward bushings)
Interior
Sport seats in Alcantara/cloth combo (optionally in leather)
Anthracite interior headliner
Thicker ///M 3-spoke multi-function steering wheel in perforated leather or Alcantara with fingertip cruise, audio, and accessory phone controls
Short & weighted ///M shift knob
Aluminum black/silver cube interior trim
Exterior
M-Tech II aerodynamic package
M-Tech II front bumper with M-tech fogs and M-tech reflectors
M-Tech II rear bumper with diffuser
M-Tech II side sills
M-Tech lip spoiler
Double-spoke (Styling 135M) cast alloy wheels
18 x 8.0 front with 225/40R-18 performance tires
18 x 8.5 rear with 255/35R-18 performance tires
High-gloss shadowline trim around the windows
Looks like there isn't an LSD though
