What the? BMW Z1 Coupé

To paraphrase Bob Dylan, though, there’s no reason to get excited— BMW Technik GmbH made exactly one static example, and it was constructed not out of metal, but wood, plastic, and clay.

It’s nevertheless a interesting harbinger of ~~clown shoes~~ things that would later come.

This has an… interesting… stance. Maybe BMW was thinking about “crossovers” way ahead of the lamentable craze for them.

Never seen this before. The hood looks sooooooo looooooong in that side shot compared to the production Z1. Weird, in a good way.
