Kickdown's Take
by Moritz NiemannEvery BMW Z1 is a collector's item due to the rarity and exclusivity of the series. This car also impresses with its extremely low mileage of only around 32,000 kilometers and its exceptionally good condition. The Z1 has been continuously maintained over the last few years, as evidenced by investments of around €10,000. This is a prime opportunity to secure an extremely good Z1!

Questions and Comments
Technik: Der BMW Z1 wurde auf der IAA 1987 vorgestellt und war von BMW als Image- und Technologieträger konzipiert. Der Werkscode war E30 (Z). Für die Planung und Ausführung des Projekts war die 1985 gegründete BMW-Tochter BMW Technik GmbH verantwortlich. Namentlich sind hier Ulrich Bez und als Designer Harm Lagaay zu nennen. Zwischen Anfang 1989 und Mitte 1991 wurden in einer limitierten Serie genau 8000 Z1 gebaut. Die Tagesproduktion lag anfangs bei maximal sechs Fahrzeugen. Der Preis betrug bei der Vorstellung 80.000 DM, stieg später auf 89.000 DM. Die Z1 wurden in Handarbeit gefertigt. LG Tom
