BMW Z1

Recommended Posts

I do like me  Z1, but... $90k? ?????

I've been told they're basically only an E30... ;)

I agree the price is on the silly side.  Would like one, but out of my budget.

Looking at the prices of these internationally... thats cheap! I guess its an E30 that is significantly rarer than an M3...

There is one in UK with 4 times the km, none of the ACS heritage, and its 48k GBP.

This is round the corner from me, and I've seen it in person and it's absolutely stunning. 

Owner is a detailer, Ditwc supplier and brought the car over with him when he emigrated here.

I think I have said this before about this car.  But that is a terrible looking car.

It looks like something Homer Simpson came up with using the BMW parts bin.

Saw this on the motorway today, looks realllly nice. 

 

Its a pity the driver was blocking up the motorway doing 90 in the right hand lane...

Probably a desperate attempt to try and make people look a car no one wants to see or cares about.

Exactly!  Yes, they may be an e30 underneath, but those are the coolest door mechs ever!  

I think this one is hampered by it's ACS accoutrements.  It's a rare thing that waving the ACS magic wand makes a car uglier, but (IMHO) this is one of those exceptions that proves the rule.

Rarer than an M3?  Even rarer than an e30 Baur!!

You may have noticed the wink at the end of my post! I'm of the opinion that the Z1 isn't really an E30, although it was built at the same time as the last E30s, and given an E30 code (it was a development of the E30 line) The predominant underlying structure is completely different, although a great number of E30 components are used.

Doesn't look much like any E30 I've seen!
