What does everyone think of this, considering it's actually an E30 with a Z-axle?

It's a bit small I agree.

But it's cool.

It's a Z1.

Well the fact it is basically a mundane saloon car in a superhero cape, With impressive doors and imo a very stylish shell.

Can't see anything to not like about it really. (Well apart from the lack of power)

I assume this Bruce guys has one? I meant it as a compliment.
They are really nice cars. Did Alplina or Hartge etc ever mess with one?

The hardtop in cream look rad. And you knwo the Alpina will be rapid.
I think it looks best with a hardtop. Know what you mean with the kit car feel but it has a bit of Z8 abot it and even E30 M3 with rear quarters.

Rather have an M3 cab, but apart from that it's easily nicer than an E30.

Yeh. I'd only go for an M3 cab over a Z1.

I never liked MSport cabs, not their fualt but they've been tarred with council brush of a thousand clones.

Now whenever I look at one, I just think council.

The Z1, well, it's got anti-council built in.

They're ultra rare here in Ireland. I've seen only 2 on Irish plates, although i've heard there's a third one around somewhere. Saw a few at gaydon as well.

There was a Z1 owners tour from Belgium or Holland here a few years ago in the South of the country, unusual to see so many together in the same place.

Back in 1991 I called to BMW HQ here in Ireland to get a pic of one, the MD had one, and they were kind enough to take me for a spin in it.. The doors will always be the talking point..
