BMW Z1 (1991)

Leonard Deppen

Kickdown's Take

by Leonard Deppen

The BMW Z1 is one of the most exciting roadsters of the 1990s: With its retractable doors, plastic body, and 2.5-liter six-cylinder engine, it’s a true piece of automotive history. This example in Dream Black Metallic has only 63,000 kilometers on the odometer—all of which are fully verifiable—and has never been in an accident. The timing belt was replaced at around 58,000 kilometers, and the vehicle inspection in the summer of 2025 revealed no defects. The Z1 is considered a collector’s item with stable value appreciation. Ideal for enthusiasts looking for a roadworthy classic with cult status.
