The Z1 was the first product to be developed by BMW Technik GmbH, following a decision to build a two-seat sports roadster, handed down by upper management in early 1985, and within one year, a fully operational prototype was developed. Much of the componentry came from the BMW's 3-Series, including its engine, drivetrain, front suspension, and interior. Drawing on its Formula 1 racing experience, engineers designed a novel ground-effect system into the Z1.
The body was fitted with unique electromechanical doors that dropped into the sills for easy entrance and exit by simply touching a button and the base unit construction was covered with de-mountable injection-molded thermoplastic body panels that were also capable of resisting impacts of 5 mph. Furthermore, the panels were recyclable. Available in four colors, BMW also suggested to owners that the panels were easily interchangeable should the owner desire to change colors of his or her car! Alloy wheels, unique to the Z1, were also fitted.
