I think you're right. Most examples I've found (either at dealers' websites or on YouTube) of the base 230i do have the ZHP Dynamic Handling Package if they're 2022 models, but not 2023s. BMW has been citing supply chain issues as the reason for these option adjustments, but I don't think that's the case here. Shouldn't matter if it's a 230i with ZDH or an M240i because the brakes are the same.

There's other weirdness, too. With the latest round of changes, I couldn't combine the M Sport package on a 230i RWD with a Canberra Beige interior (either in SensaTec or leather). Cognac was the only non-black option. But you can get Canberra Beige in the xDrive 230i w/ M Sport or either of the M240i trims. This one sounds like an oversight, not a deliberate intent to keep options specific to certain models. I went with Cognac.
