1990 BMW Z1 Roadster. A short history of the BMW Z-1 Roadster is in order. This car was conceived as a show piece to display the technical wizardry of the BMW Technik GMBH division, which was an advanced engineering and prototyping group within BMW. They made a very advanced chassis / frame of galvanized steel for strength, and made the body panels of thermoplastic, which combined light weight with easy collision repair and the possibility of color change with a spare set of body panels! The Floorpan was a composite material, bonded to the chassis! The styling was done by Harm Legay, who had Porsche design credits with the 944.

The reaction to the prototype at it's first show was so overwhelming that BMW decided to actually build the car in limited production! The Door operation was very unique, with a motorized belt operating the door - which travels up and down - and the windows. It can be driven with the doors down, for a very sporting, open air experience!

Mechanically, it has a 6 cylinder 170 Horsepower , 2500 CC BMW engine sourced from the E30 Series - runs great and easy to service and a 5 speed getrag transmission mated to the "Z-axle", BMW's first production multi-link independent rear axle. It's power and extreme light weight make it a very sporty car indeed!

The top is the original one, and in excellent condition. The doors and windows work beautifully, as does the rest of the car. BMW factory option, the deluxe hardtop! And, of course, it is included with the car. The BMW Z-1 was not equipped with Air Conditioning. Everywhere you look , there is a unique and beautiful design feature. The mileage is a relatively low 80,000 Kilometers, which equates to just under 50,000 miles. The windshield header /grab bar with unique sunvisors made to fit. The seats are leather - the darker green portion was replaced, and the very, very pale green upper portions are the original. It's in good shape for original, but you can see some wear, cracking and patina on the lighter colored leather. Comes with an interesting feature, a Sony 6 disc mini-disc player!
