Model history summary: The BMW Z1, produced between 1989 and 1991, was the first model in BMW's Z-series, a range of two-seater roadsters. Limited to 8, 000 units, the Z1 was distinguished by its innovative design and unique features, such as removable plastic body panels and doors that slid vertically into the sills. Under the bonnet is a 2. 5-litre in-line six-cylinder engine derived from the BMW E30 325i, producing 168bhp and mated to a five-speed manual gearbox. It was also one of the first BMW models to feature a multi-link rear suspension, nicknamed the 'Z Axle', which influenced later vehicles such as the E36 3 Series. Developed by BMW Technik GmbH under the direction of Ulrich Bez and then Klaus Faust, the Z1 was unveiled at the 1987 Frankfurt Motor Show. Despite strong initial demand, production was halted in 1991 following a drop in interest due to early speculation. With its aerodynamic bodywork and innovations, the Z1 laid the foundations for the Z line, which was followed by the Z3, Z4 and Z8.
