1990 BMW Z1 for Sale in Germany

This 1990 BMW Z1 is a used car showing 91,200 km. It is powered by a 2,500 cm³ petrol engine rated at 170 PS (125 kW). It is equipped with a manual transmission. The car is finished in Red with a Grey and red interior.

Only 8,000 Z1 roadsters were built, and this red one is offered by the seller on behalf of its owner. Its doors still drop into the sills as BMW Technik intended, and the cabin keeps its grey seats with red inserts, as the photographs show.

The seller describes it as a very well looked-after, accident-free car with a service book. The listing counts four previous keepers while its description calls it a second-hand car, so the exact number is worth asking about before purchase.

The car is located in Ismaning, Germany.

The BMW Z1 uses the 2,494 cc M20 B25 straight-six from the 325i, mounted behind the front axle and tilted 20 degrees, rated at 170 PS (125 kW) at 5,800 rpm and 222 Nm at 4,300 rpm, 0 to 100 km/h in 7.9 seconds and 225 km/h, with a five-speed Getrag 260/5 manual gearbox and rear-wheel drive.

Is this BMW Z1 priced above or below the European market?

At €44,500, it sits below the median of €45,900 for the 3 BMW Z1 advertised in Europe in 2026. 0% of them are advertised for less. Asking prices are not transaction prices, and specification differences explain much of the spread.

How much did this BMW Z1 cost new?

The manufacturer's base list price was €42,437 in Germany, excluding options. This car is advertised at €44,500, 5% above that figure. A list price is the launch price of the version without options, so a heavily specified car left the factory above it, and it says nothing about what the car is worth today.
