so w/regards to the transmission, what they say here is wrong?:

Question: What transmissions were available for the BMW 330 ZHP?
Answer: The 2003 model was only available in a 6-speed (Getrag) manual transmission (GS6-37BZ, part number 23007532498). From 2004 to 2006, the ZHP was available in a 6-speed manual transmission and automatic transmission.


[EDIT] tofu confirms what you said... this is not a ZHP. at the very most, it has the Sport package, but definitely not ZHP
