The Z4M will always have a special place for me, the last BMW that was as analog as a 90s car but with enough power and grip to keep up with the cool kids today.
My dad's friend had a white one when I was a kid, to this day I am still in awe of it, still the coolest thing ever seeing those doors go up and down. I would love to have one today.
I started working for BMW in 1992 in London, driving the Z1 was amazing and you got the looks wherever you drove. To this day I still like the Z1 and wished I had the money to buy one.

As a newbie trader who is venturing into the crypto world, the best advise from any professional trader would be to get a legit broker and start trading.
I invested in both stocks and crypto, but I see crypto is doing better, so I sold all my stocks and invested in crypto.Investing is stocks is good, crypto is the best!
Whoever is directing the reviews of late is doing a stellar job. Definitely a step up from before and the production is unique compared to all the other channels.
@@thedronephotoguy Get over yourself, this isn't meant to compete with the old Top Gear TV show this is online exclusive content. Go watch The Grand Tour if you want to watch that kind of content.
The thing about this car is, I can remember with absolutely clarity the first time I saw one and how utterly gobsmacked I was. Paris 1988, Plâce d'Iena, about 6pm. A man parked, stepped out, closed the door and walked away while I stood rooted and my jaw hanging.
Well come to think of it I realised how did I became a BMW fanatic (fanboy), ifI remember my very first ever BMW I seen on the road was outside my school as an 9 year old kid back in 1990 which at the time was a Z1 in the same green colour & funky classy cool looks that inspired me to the core throughout my youth. An decade & so later, my first car was a E30 318i that became the perfect passion of joy & lifestyle but I still thinking about was that a green Z1 driving pass me & why haven’t I seen one on the road again in Australia. I swear it was a Z1 that got my complete attention cause it’s was a uncommon yet unusual short looking topless doorless gorgeous body of the driving machine I ever first witnessed in my life. 😱👍😍
I'm old enough to remember when the Z1 was new. I remember reading about it in the car magazines. I love the look. I hope to be able to afford one some day. Thank you.
A friend of mine had one which i could drive sometimes. I remember driving about 140 km/h (about 87 miles per hour) on the Swiss Autobahn - with doors down. that was really a great feeling. almost like sitting in a go-kart. Loved it.
An exotic dealer in my area has a few Z1’s right now. They are all priced around 100k. I’d say unknown due to limited production rather than underrated.
The doors were not designed to make it easier getting in and out. They were a modern take on a roadster with side screens but without the hassle of removing the glass and storing it. The car was not originally intended for production but such was the reception of the Z1, BMW decided to build a limited run of 8000 vehicles, one of which I owned. Great car with a beautifully designed interior. The only real downside was a small boot. If only BMW would design a nice car again!
These were around when I was growing up, usually in this green colour or in that maroon-red/brown kind of colour... haven’t seen one in over a decade now (until this video!)
One could say that BMW have Teutonic stubbornness in sticking to the Systeme Panhard layout, but FWD does not become a sports car, nor does out and out speed but traditional handling does, innovation also makes this one.
BMWs always has innovative technology and ahead of its time, I8 first car to have laser lights, M4 GTS with the resurrection of the water injection, first V12 with direct injection (E66), E32 BMW 7 was the first to have Xenon lights, e31 as a whole.. E53 X5 completely started the new super sport suv trend - unibody with a big V8, power and comfort that can do good amount of off-roading with the proper tires, 6 time worlds fastest sedans from E28 to the F10. Fastest SUV tittle 3 times. BMW producing 1500HP figures out of 4 cylinders in the 80s, Mclaren F1 with the BMW S70/2 making it the fastest production car for 12 years and in the same era winning LeMans. BMWs were so ahead of their time.
Sure, the Z1's doors made it easier to get in and out... Compared to a car with no doors. There's something so inelegant about swinging your legs up and over a high sill. It's a cool looking door, but it's not practical at all.
"Definitely tarmac" ACTUALLY no! "Tarmac" is much older than modern bituminous asphalt concrete; MacAdam was a Scottish engineer who developed the modern graded dirt road in the 19th century, hence the phrase "macadam road". In order to improve the durability of macadam roads, they were coated with tar, hence "tarmac" (short for 'tarred macadam'). So unlike modern roads where the binding tar is mixed with rocks (bituminous concrete), "tarmac" describes a dirt road that has just been coated with tar, and isn't something we really see anymore. Hope people find that interesting!
Always made me laugh when they said you could change the side panels in an hour with just a Screwdriver LOL!! Needed more than just a Screwdriver to get my side panel off! well I'll find out soon enough how long as I need to remove all the panels for a nice new repaint 🙂Wouldnt want to jump up and down on any of my 30 Year old panels either, especially the 2 front Wings that now have slight cracks 😞
The Z4M will always have a special place for me, the last BMW that was as analog as a 90s car but with enough power and grip to keep up with the cool kids today.
Defo agreed. The Z4M needs to be snapped up by drivers before their values go insane.
@@amirhashm1 at least in my country the values have gone insane. There's one with 10k km on the clock that costs $80k

People will be having regrets on having passed up on the opportunity to boost their financial status by investing in Cryptocurrencies

the Z3 is a bond car too, it was in Goldeneye

the most underrated car in history
MX5 more so.

The z8 was one of my favourite bimmer of all time
My grandpa has red one and in summer he often takes me somewhere with it. Love that car
Gotta say jack has really REALLY come in to his own I just love watching him, and I love the z1 too
This was a stunning head turner when it came out. A friend had one of those early 90s and it was a blast driving it.
Super video, love it; the subject and the presentation. More classic BMWs please
I hope to see more of this back from BMW
When
The definition of a Roadster.
Thanks for reviewing it.

the lincoln mark 8 had these doors decades ago.
I quite like the videos you guys have been putting out this year.
another top gear youtube episode absolutely blowing the BBC TV show away!!!! Keep it up lads!!!
This guys brilliant top gear should promote him and give him paddy McGuinness role 👍
Jack Rix is great but not my cup of tea
This is absolute great work from Top Gear
BMW is always ahead of its time. X5, X6, M cars, M1, idrive, shark fin antenna, quad exhaust, never ending list.
I would so dream to have that Z1 styling with M3/M4 engine and gearbox.
I really enjoy these new online episodes. Well done Top Gear
Added amphibious features, not flying yet can be the most sophisticated car in its class
I like this series even more than the actual TV show.
Was still a halo car at the time. That silky smooth I6 is something from the lost generation today.
This is my all times fav bmw now
These were around when I was growing up, usually in this green colour or in that maroon-red/brown kind of colour... haven’t seen one in over a decade now (until this video!)
My dad used to have one in the late 90s/ early 00s. I was so pissed when he sold it. It looked exactly like this one.
The 80s were the leadup to the best decade in the modern era. I could've lived my whole life in the 80s and 90s and been content
More of these vids please! TG retrospective
The script on this vid is really a step up from the previous ones.
I like these, they're funky, but prices are insane now, ill stick with my Z3
Know what you mean the prices are bonkers.
To be honest I didn’t like the Z3 when it came out but it’s grown on me now.
Thanks, now that brought back memories! See, this car was on the cover of one of my driving-school booklets...
:)
I like this guy. I like watching top gear again. Sure its not tv and the format is different, but such is life.
@Tøp Gear ff off 😂
Nice James May spaniel mode clip at the end
I have such a soft spot for these. Shame they were a little limited engine wise.
Finally top gear are doing some good job
I am not a fan of BMW but this one always inside my heart
These are pretty jawdropping in the flesh
the real legacy was that elastomer panel esp on crappy cars nowadays when u can just suck it out when its dinged lightly
Now I can die happly because I've seen an elegent grill on a bmw in my life
Thumbnail saw YES
That is such a nice colour and really soured the Z 1
It was just a bit ahead for its time
I really like it 👍👍
More of this retro stuff with Jack please!
One could say that BMW have Teutonic stubbornness in sticking to the Systeme Panhard layout, but FWD does not become a sports car, nor does out and out speed but traditional handling does, innovation also makes this one.
superb feature
Nice ending
What a beautiful car!
excellent video...make more stuff like this!
Once again, BMW was ahead time.
C1, Z1, Z3 Coupe, 2002 Touring (first estate/hatchback with power), 507, I3, E9,.....
BMWs always has innovative technology and ahead of its time, I8 first car to have laser lights, M4 GTS with the resurrection of the water injection, first V12 with direct injection (E66), E32 BMW 7 was the first to have Xenon lights, e31 as a whole..

One of the most beautiful cars in the world
Did I see this on the m25 near Heathrow yesterday?
Sure, the Z1's doors made it easier to get in and out... Compared to a car with no doors. There's something so inelegant about swinging your legs up and over a high sill. It's a cool looking door, but it's not practical at all.
This car is just 🔥🔥🔥🔥
I'm amazed that the Ralph Naders of the world allowed a door like that.
This is a stunning car
Bikers: “you can’t scrape knee in a car bro 😎
BMW: “Hold mein Bier 🍺 “
Still such a cool cool car.
I miss the good old trio from Top Gear. Guess nobody can actually replace them

It's a beauty isn't? Fast at the same time. One love🇩🇪Bavaria first!
What other car lets you pick a clover? Owner type jeepney from the Philippines. If you can consider that a car :)
00:49 did someone notice something fell off ?
So it’s like retro tech... for cars 🔥
Those doors were groundbreaking,the new grille however.............
Nah! My '57 TR3 let me feel the road long before the Zedsled appeared.
Should do a performance EV conversion on one!
BMW makes a truly great driver's car :) .
That door is underappreciated
lincoln designed it decades ago.
Is that Ray from Archer?
lincoln mark 8 offered those doors 30 plus years ago.
Z1 is beautiful classic bmw to drive
Waiting for Drag Race 🏁
Last time I was this early, Jeremy Clarkson was in that seat :,(
Who?

So sad!
Wish bmw made a modern day version of this nothing fancy just a simple drivers car with 3 series underpinnings in a BMW affordable way
An original mini for me gives the most feel of tyres on tarmac.
You are awesome man.
Good Tube
Z1 with e30 engine?
Brilliant... love it 😍
the old top gear before 2015 is better than after 2015
What's the soundtrack
This is really like James bond's bmw
I think watching James May on food tribe is better than new top gear
I was hoping this would be the real top gear
Love these retro reviews. Very well done. Forgot that BMW could create good looking cars like this
Oh, now suddenly a change of heart. In 2008 the lame BMW Z1 got roasted by the Lotus Elise and the Honda S2000 in a Top Gear production.
If this car looked as interesting as its story it would be 150k now
You can touch the road in a seven without leaning over 😄
Z8 was the G.O.A.T of all Z's
It just cracks me up hearing people pronounce the Z as zed . We pronounce it properly as zee...hahaha
Always made me laugh when they said you could change the side panels in an hour with just a Screwdriver LOL!! Needed more than just a Screwdriver to get my side panel off! well I'll find out soon enough how long as I need to remove all the panels for a nice new repaint 🙂Wouldnt want to jump up and down on any of my 30 Year old panels either, especially the 2 front Wings that now have slight cracks 😞
