The seller offers for sale a BMW Z1 from 1990, a cabriolet with a manual transmission and a 2.5-liter 6-cylinder petrol engine. The seller states the car was purchased from the second owner and has been used selectively, with regular cleaning and careful storage. The car was first registered in the Netherlands and later brought to Belgium. The seller describes the body and paintwork as presentable with signs of use, noting the known hairline cracking on the front wings’ fiberglass and that preventive work was carried out to limit further cracking. The interior is described as original in character with normal signs of use. The seller states the engine runs well and the gearbox shifts smoothly.
The soft top is present. The seller describes it as showing light signs of use while remaining watertight, and the mechanism is said to operate smoothly and quietly.
The BMW Z1 is one of BMW’s most distinctive roadsters, developed as a technology showcase with an unmistakable design. Its plastic body panels, wide stance, and low seating position give it a unique presence on the road, while the rear-wheel-drive layout delivers a classic open-top driving feel. The signature doors that retract into the sills are not just a styling feature, they also underline the Z1’s engineering-led concept. With BMW’s straight-six power and a balanced chassis, the Z1 is known for a composed, engaging character that suits both relaxed touring and spirited back-road driving. Today, it remains a sought-after modern classic thanks to its rarity, design story, and strong enthusiast following.
