A roadster unlike any other in BMW’s history. Futuristic lines, retractable doors, and a playful driving experience. The Z1 doesn’t try to imitate others; it blazes its own trail. Rare, lightweight, and visionary, it remains one of the brand’s most original models to this day.
BMW has always combined technical innovation with driving pleasure. With its roadsters, the brand explores a more emotional side of its identity. Each model blends sportiness, bold design, and well-engineered mechanics.
Unveiled in Frankfurt in 1987, the Z1 was a concept brought to life. It marked BMW’s return to the roadster segment following the 507, with a radically modern approach. Its name comes from “Zukunft,” the German word for “future.” With 8,000 units produced, it launched the Z series.
This particular example stands out for its minimal use. It has retained its original configuration, featuring a 5-speed manual transmission and a minimalist interior. The vertical doors slide into the sills, a signature feature of this engineering marvel.
