    E46 M3 zcp production numbers

    Hey ! I just bought a 2005 M3 ZCP Slicktop Alpine white SMG (converted to MT) with manual Impulse cloth seats. I can't seem to find production numbers by specs somewhere or an Excel sheet !

    There was some dude back in the day that had some info, but nobody knows with absolute certainty, and since nobody knows you can tell everyone you have a 1 of 1.

    Everyone points to this site but its worthless other than looking at color. It has options to choose options, but you'll notice it doesn't actually produce different numbers.

    The BMW E46 M3 was one of the best platforms produced by BMW, and owning one is something special in its own right. However not each E46 M3 is equal, with several trims and features produced some examples are rarer than others.If you are still in the market to buy one, check the numbers before you make your next purchase, you never know when you when you find a unicorn!

            I have some relevant data:

            Total North America ZCP Production: 2,410 (1,276 Manual / 1,134 SMG)
            Total North America ZCP in Alpine White: 178 (No transmission data)

            Here is the interior data (incomplete) I have for ZCP + AW (142/178 accounted for):

              I had a chance at a 27K mile ZCP/AW/Cinn/6MT back in the day but it was just too much money for me back then that I'm still kicking myself for. Cool to see the numbers.

                            I feel similarly about an interlagos blue (on cinnamon I think) ZCP that needed some repair but I still love my jet black non-ZCP. One doesn't think too much about rarity when a car is still "young" 😊

                              ZCP crew checking in

                              What are the production #s for an Interlagos blue, black nappa, SMG, Canadian car?
