jjs 64 Report post Posted November 30, 2008 Spotted a boston green Z1 on Parnell Road yesterday. I didn't realise there were any of these in NZ. Anyone know much about it? Not my cup of tea, but a very rare car. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mr E34 11 Report post Posted November 30, 2008 A couple on Pistonheads for more pix. A nice car but again conservative BMW used a std 2.5ltr engine, not enough pwr/trq. http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/list.asp?p=1&s=397 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

R90S 2 Report post Posted November 30, 2008 Spotted a boston green Z1 on Parnell Road yesterday. I didn't realise there were any of these in NZ. Anyone know much about it? I remember going to a function at BMW NZ in the early '90s and sitting in a Z1 on display. Maybe 1992 or 1993? The evening was a BMW motorcycle club event, so we didn't spend a lot of time talking about cars that night....anyhoo, I seem to recall that car being green. Still, that was a long time ago.

Guest SamSpargo Report post Posted December 1, 2008 I really really want to S50B32 a Z1. They're for all intents and purposes, a rebodied E30. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nath 134 Report post Posted December 1, 2008 What a silly looking car! I think green one has something like 10 or 20 thousand kms.... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

greenday-rulz21 6 Report post Posted December 2, 2008 For all intents and purposes... Anyone know if they're 4 or 5 lug? I've seen pictures of both 4 and 5 lug Z1's. I would assume they came in 4 lug like e30's, and the 5 lug ones i've seen have been converted.It is based on the e30 though. At least thats what everything i've ever read about the Z1 has said.

Guest SamSpargo Report post Posted December 2, 2008 The Z1 rear brakes are an upgrade for E30's, which would suggest they're 4 lug. Essentially a 4 lug E30 M3 sized rear setup. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
