Hahaha

"Peter Ermler owns the first Z1 that left BMW plant in Munich... to afford the car he had to close all his accounts, sell off stocks, and his life insurance"

[CrusherCurtis]

No z1 love huh? Wasn't this car pretty much an e30

[E30_pilot]

Yes. I got the chance to see one in person and the owner was from Britain had it shipped along with his friends who also brought their z1s who were doing a tour around wine county. I was always a sucker for those disappearing doors

Is it just me, or does anyone else think the narrators of that video have creepy robot voices?

[VinniE30]

I like these a lot, always have, saw one in person last year.
I'd like to see one 24v swapped.

There is only one ever imported to my country, a euro version, brand new. I remember when I was 13 years old or so having that car in the showroom for sale (second hand) and after a ittle while someone bought it. Never saw the car anywhere ever...I wonder where it is at...if it pop up for sale and if the car/price is right, I will buy it!

It was yellow/lemon color, not the nicest color but somewaht rare!

Someone offered these with 24v when they were new I believe. There's a picture of the ad floating around here somewhere.

How about a 32v

[Balleristic31]

There is nothing about these cars that is cool to me.

[diegom6]

Were these 4x100 or 5x120 from factory?

I don't see how it's basically an e30, but it's a cool car nevertheless.

[F34R]

They are so cool looking, only seen two in NY area.

[CrusherCurtis]

They were 4x100, I know they shared engine, trans and front suspension with e30's

[RUFFLZ]

z1's have aged remarkably well

[Emre]

I don't see how it's basically an e30...

Technically, it is an E30. The same way a Z3 is an E36 (roadster = E36/7 ; coupe = E36/8 ).

The Z1 was based on the E30 chassis modified to accept the new "Z-axle" multi-link rear end, which is where the model designation comes from. Other than the bodywork and Z-axle, the mechanical bits are the same as a 325is.
