Opis
The first prototype of the BMW Z1 dates back to 1986. When it was presented at the Geneva Motor Show in 1987, success was immediate. Only 8000 exemplars were produced between 1989 and 1991.
The roadster was designed for pleasure. It is very low (47 cm), long (4. 14 m) and wide (1. 75 m). The Z1 is featured with a 2. 5-liter inline 6-cylinder petrol engine developing 170 hp at 5, 750 rpm. It is the first model of the Z series standing for “Zukunft” or “Future” in German. Today, the Z1 is still considered a cult car with its unique design and its pocket doors opening downwards.
This particular exemplar is a Belgian car that was delivered new by BMW Eupen in 1990. It stayed in Belgium until 2005 before moving to the beautiful Spanish island of Palma de Mallorca. There, the Z1 was enjoyed as a fun cabriolet and continued to be regularly maintained by BMW as evidenced in the original service book until 2011 (all invoices available on request).
The car was then sold to Germany where it stayed for 4 years. The last owner acquired the Z1 in 2015 to add it to his collection. He registered the BMW Z1 in France but only drove 1. 500 Km with it in 9 years. Last maintenance has been done in 2023 including a new water pump and a new timing belt.
In short, a well-maintained example with a well documented service history and a relatively low mileage for a car of 35 years. Now ready to add some fun in your life…
