I Actually Saw One Of These Yesterday On The Qew
#3
WOW! THERE ARE ONLY 8000 EVER MADE.

AND I SAW ONE.

I HAVE A PICTURE ON MY CELL PHONE THAT I WILL TRY AND UPLOAD.


8000 vehicles of the BMW type Z1 were build all together. Below is a list that shows the amount of cars that were build in each color and the amount that were delivered to the appropriate countries:


Vehicles listed under „remaining countries“ were delivered to the following countries:
Bahrain, Dubai, Gibraltar, Lagos, Liberia, Norway, Sweden, Tunisia, Hungary, Andorra, Argentina, Australia, Brunei, Costa Rica, French Antilles, Greece, Iraq, Ireland, Jordan, Morocco, New Zealand, Netherl. Antillies, Polen, Switzerland, Singapore, Syria, Venezuela.



The BMW Z1 is a two-seat soft top roadster. It uses the engine and transmission from the E30 325 mounted in a specially designed base frame or chassis, which is made from galvanised steel. The sports body, which is made from various types of composite resin panels, is fixed onto the base frame. The front suspension is re-worked 325 components, with a wider track. The rear suspension is the specially designed 'Z axle'. The most distinctive features of the body are the electrically powered doors, which in the open position drop down into the side sills, this creating the ultimate 'open car' when the soft top is lowered underneath its' flat cover.

The doors of the Z1 are unique. The doors drop down into the car's sills (or rockers), and as they drop the windows lower. The "open air" cockpit was considered unsafe in the USA, and the Z1 was not allowed to be imported for many years. Today, the Z1 can be imported into the USA.

The Z1 was one of the first BMWs to have multi-link rear suspension.
