z1

There is one 2 miles from my house.
Interesting, but not exciting.

One on ebay is over-valued IMHO...

I've always thought the same about them. They are cool, they are a very interesting car, and the fact that they have an M20 is pretty cool. But other than that, I've never thought they were that special. I've wanted one of those steering wheels forever, though. Didn't that RobM3 guy with the white M3 have one of those wheels?

yes, i also think that the z1 is called e30/z1 and z3 e36/z3 and so on, but doesn't the z3 use a lot of stuff from the e30?

That's all wrong;)

dude, isnt that the concept Z3 for the US market? i remember seeing photos back in the early 90's of the new z3 and it was that car...

4700 some posts and you have no idea what a Z1 is?????

That dash wont fit in an e30.... took lots of measurements and it appears to be too short. A LOT of work would be necessary.

I would LOVE the z-link rear suspension out of the rear of one though. I have never been able to get acurate measurements to see if it would fit in the e30 though. The Z1 uses a prototype multilink rear instead of trailing arms.

ANother cool feature is that you can buy a sprare set of plastic body panels from BMW and completely change the color of the car is a lil over an hour.

Alex L., a club racer ouf IL has a green one. Sweet and odd little car. Saw it at Putnam Park last year.

I bought my Euro motor from Alex, great guy to deal with and true BMW enthusiast (and gynocologist by profession) ;)

really, it is kind of sad...

anyway, I never understood the door deal, I mean it isn't like the visibility is needed or anything. it's not for anything performance-wise, is it?

its for the cool factor... the freakin door slides down into the body and back up...

i dont care how rare they are.. somebody needs to put an s50 in one.

I never heard of the Z1 till i seen a steering wheel on ebay for one and they said it fit an e30. And this was a month or so ago. The siding doors was used in the 50's on a Kaiser Darrin
