Description from the seller
IN RISALTO:
- Iconic retractable-door roadster produced in a limited edition
- Example offered in the original green color
- Equipped with a new battery
- Accompanied by the original case and on-board documentation
STORIA/PANORAMICA:
The BMW Z1 (E30 Z project), developed by BMW's Technik division between the late 1980s and early 1990s, represents one of the most iconic and innovative cars in automotive history. Renowned for its plastic body panels and for the distinctive doors that slide down into the chassis, the Z1 combines unique engineering solutions with an exclusive open-top driving experience. This example in the original green shade is drivable; having stood idle in recent years, it requires general maintenance and restoration work to its cosmetic and functional aspects.
CARROZZERIA/VERNICIATURA:
The body in green shows signs of age and defects highlighted by the seller. Cracks are noted on the door panels near the lock/push-opening barrels, a small hole on the lower part of the front bumper, a scratch on the right door, the fuel-filler cap cover is missing, and the door seals need to be reviewed. The trunk panels are partially repainted on the left and right, while the front indicators show slight cracks. The manually operated soft top shows signs of use with torn fabric in some areas.
INTERNI:
The interior retains the original upholstery and layout with evident signs of wear. Damaged door-opening switches, cracks on some interior plastics, and the presence of an aftermarket anti-theft system are present.
MECCANICA:
The vehicle is drivable and equipped with a new battery. The tires are in good condition with a DOT code of 2002. Having been stationary and unused for a long period, the mechanicals require a full check-up, an ordinary service, and general maintenance before road use.
DOCUMENTI:
The car comes with the circulation documents shown in the images. It includes only one ignition key, and the maintenance history (service book) is absent.

Disclaimer
Catawiki always aims to offer you the best possible buying experience. Our experts virtually review and select every vehicle in line with our submission guidelines and we require our sellers to provide the most accurate description of the vehicle. However, providing a fully detailed analysis of the vehicle is extremely difficult, and close to impossible. To guide you, we ask our sellers to provide information about the vehicle’s condition. Please consider that most vehicles for sale are classic vehicles and they often already have a whole life behind them, meaning that even a condition 1 or 2 vehicle might need maintenance to be ready for the road. It is advised to carefully read our submission guidelines that further describe details about the condition grades and types to manage your expectations. Cars are sold “as is”, meaning as described and in the condition they are in at the time of the sale and without any representation, warranty or assumption of liability of any kind as to the condition by Catawiki or by the seller. The condition of this item is the opinion of the seller and may differ from yours, your local garage, or the dealer’s opinion. This does not automatically mean the car does not conform to its description. Before bidding, please check your local legislation regarding vehicle registration. Neither the seller nor Catawiki is responsible for the registration of the vehicle in your country and will not accept a cancellation for your failure to register the vehicle. We also recommend that, if possible, you arrange a viewing with the seller before placing a bid.
