BMW Z1 (1987-1992) 25th anniversary

The BMW Z1 is a true rarity. 25 years ago, it offered a glimpse into the future. Today, it has become a cult phenomenon that is still ahead of the times.

“25 years after the wraps were taken off the BMW Z1 at the Frankfurt Motor Show — nearly hundred BMW Z1 models owned by participants from across Europe and the USA, were on show and accessible to the public in front of the BMW Museum in Munich. To explain the history of the BMW Z1 we met the staff who was involved in the roadsters development at the time.” Youtube video description
