I had a roommate with a ZHP (and yes there was a slightly different front bumper too, I had forgotten that) but it only stayed in stock trim about 48 hours. He changed EVERYTHING, from the suspension to a super charger, so I drove it once in stock form, tbh I didn't think it was that different from another 330i. I would say if you aren't planning on doing any mods to it, it's probably a good way to go. Suspension is a little tighter, it is a little faster, everything is more but just a little bit. But if you are planning on any mods, stick with a standard 330i.

And actually, you may wanna spend a little time looking around. You mentioned the 330i (not the Ci) so maybe you aren't interested in the coupe, but prices of M3's have dropped in the last 6 months, if you are looking in the ~20k range, for a little bit more you can go up to an M, and that difference is a lot bigger than huge. Of course I am biased ( ) but what can I say, I bought the car for a reason.
