1989 BMW Z1

KEY FACTS This BMW Z1 is a rare and iconic roadster, presented in a handsome factory colour scheme and with a well-documented history. It is powered by a 2.5-litre naturally aspirated inline-six engine, driving the rear wheels via a five-speed manual transmission. First registered in 1989, this UK-delivered example was acquired by the seller and the third owner in May 1990. The odometer indicates 6,728 miles, though this is not warranted due to a documented odometer change at 12,099 miles. The total mileage is therefore understood to be 18,827 miles. EQUIPMENT AND FEATURES This Z1 is finished in Ur-Grün Metallic over a grey leather-trimmed interior, complete with camouflage-design seat centres. It rides on a set of 16-inch seven-spoke alloy wheels fitted with Pirelli P7000 tyres. Equipment includes its distinctive retractable doors, a three-spoke steering wheel, a Z1-branded cassette stereo, and heater and ventilation controls. Accompanying the car are the original clocks, the owner's handbook, a toolkit, a warning triangle, a first aid kit, a spare wheel, a large folder with invoices and paperwork, and two keys with one remote fob. CONDITION Please refer to the photo gallery to assess the exterior and interior condition.
