BMW Z1 1989
General description :
EQUIPMENTDream Black Metallic paintwork, Dark grey Nubuck and camouflage leather upholstery, Folding soft-top in black mohair, 16-inch alloy wheels, 5-speed manual transmission, Electric doors, Twin-exit stainless steel exhaust, Electric windows, Electric door mirrors, Z1 cassette radio, Boot-mounted CD changer, Leather steering wheel and gear knob, MPH speedometer, Digital clock, Cigarette lighter, Ash tray, Spare wheel and cover.EXTERIORFinished in the timeless Dream Black metallic, the paintwork on this Z1 boasts a deep and uniform shine following a machine polish by our in-house detailer. The car presents really well throughout with even panel gaps and few blemishes to report, namely a peppering of stone chips to the front end but mainly to the bonnet. There are no scuffs or scrapes to either of the bumpers and the lights are crack-free all round. The hood remains in excellent watertight condition and the electric sliding doors operate smoothly without fault. A splendid example, ready to be driven and very much enjoyed.INTERIORThe Z1-specific seats present very nicely in their original dark grey / camouflage leather combo. In-line with the mileage the bolsters show only minor wear, the Nubuck areas having recently been treated and fed to maintain a supple finish. Leather extends from the seats, along the centre console and across the dash, all of which remains in great condition. The steering wheel also presents in fine order with a lovely matte finish to the leather, and the original Z1 cassette radio is pleasingly still fitted. The car is further equipped with a CD changer discreetly mounted in the boot where the spare wheel can also be found.ENGINE & TRANSMISSIONHaving always been maintained to a very high standard the Z1’s 2.5-litre straight-six is as smooth as ever, and out on the road it’s an absolutely joy to drive. Looking inside the engine bay everything appears in great shape, not overly dressed but in excellent original condition throughout. On closer inspection there are no signs of any accident damage or poor repair to be found, and even the yellowish factory wax can still be seen on many components.The Z1 has just returned from a fresh service and timing belt change at our trusted BMW specialist, Barkers Motor Works in Haslemere. Barkers know the car well and have looked after it for the last few years. The gear linkage bushes were replaced by them last year and so, as you would expect, the gearbox feels really tight and precise to operate. The current owner has also had a bespoke twin-exit stainless exhaust fitted which sounds great and looks superb, giving the car a more symmetrical rear end.HISTORY FILEFirst registered in August 1989 this wonderful Dream Black example has now driven only 60,332 miles from new. Reading through the history file the car has always been well maintained by either BMW or by well-regarded BMW specialists such as Munich Legends and Barkers Motor Works. The last service included a timing belt change and was only recently carried out in August 2022 less than 50 miles ago. The accompanying paperwork comprises a stack of invoices dating back to the mid-nineties, a raft of MOT certificates, an original Z1 press pack, owner’s handbook, spare keys, an issue of Straight Six magazine in which the car was featured, and the V5C showing 9 former keepers (the current since 2011).DUE TO BREXIT YOU’LL HAVE TO PAY A CLASSIC CAR TAX BETWEEN 5-12% ON TOP OF THE ASKING PRICE DEPENDING ON THE COUNTRY FOR CARS UK/EU OR EU/UK CAN ASSIST WITH TRANSPORT AND/OR OFFER A DOOR-TO-DOOR SERVICE INCLUDING TRANSPORT & CUSTOMS THIS CAR IS LOCATED IN THE UK/ENGLAND and sold on behalf of the UK seller/owner.

About BMW

Bayerische Motoren Werke, commonly known as BMW, has a rich history dating back to its founding in 1916. Initially established as an aircraft-engine manufacturer during World War I, BMW faced restrictions on aircraft production after the war. In response, the company shifted its focus to motorcycle production in 1923, marking the beginning of its involvement in the automotive industry. Subsequently, BMW entered the world of automobiles in 1928 by producing the DIXI, essentially a licensed version of the Austin 7 from the Austin Motor Company.
In the 1930s, BMW began to establish itself as a manufacturer of elegant and high-performance vehicles. One notable model from this era is the BMW 327, introduced in 1937. The 327 was available as both a coupe and a cabriolet, showcasing the brand's commitment to luxury and style. Additionally, BMW achieved success in sports car racing during this period, particularly with the BMW 328. The 328, which debuted in 1936, became renowned for its performance and aerodynamics. BMW campaigned the 328 in various racing events, including the prestigious Mille Miglia, where the company introduced several aerodynamic specials.
The post-war era proved challenging for BMW, and the company faced financial difficulties that nearly led to bankruptcy. However, BMW managed to recover and rebuild, eventually becoming one of the leading premium automotive brands globally.
As the 1960s unfolded, BMW further solidified its reputation for producing sports-oriented and luxurious vehicles. In 1968, the BMW 2002 was introduced, marking the birth of the "New Class" of compact, sporty sedans. The 2002 gained popularity for its agile handling and performance, laying the foundation for BMW's sporty image.
Moving into the 1970s, BMW expanded its lineup with the introduction of the E9 platform, which included the iconic BMW 3.0 CS coupe. The E9 series showcased BMW's commitment to blending performance and luxury. In 1972, the M1, BMW's first mid-engined sports car, made its debut. The M1 was initially developed as a racing car but later became a road-going model. The M1 laid the groundwork for BMW's high-performance M series.
In the late 1970s, the BMW E24 6 Series was introduced, offering a combination of luxury and performance. The 6 Series included models like the 630CS, 633CSi, and 635CSi, becoming a symbol of sophistication and driving pleasure.
Through these milestones and a commitment to innovation and performance, BMW has evolved into a powerhouse in the automotive industry, maintaining its status as one of the leading premium brands worldwide.
