"What is a Z1?
"The BMW Z1 is a two-seat soft top roadster. It uses the engine and transmission from the E30 325 mounted in a specially designed base
frame or chassis, which is made from galvanised steel. The sports body, which is made from various types of composite resin panels, is
fixed onto the base frame. The front suspension is re-worked 325 components, with a wider track. The rear suspension is the specially
designed 'Z axle'. The most distinctive features of the body are the electrically powered doors, which in the open position drop down into
the side sills, this creating the ultimate 'open car' when the soft top is lowered underneath its' flat cover."
