BMW Z1

Z1

Boutsen Classic Cars is pleased to present this highly collectible BMW Z1 Roadster, finished in the exceptionally rare Pur Blau Metallic and paired with the equally scarce Hellgrau interior. With just 57,700 documented kilometres, this Z1 stands out as a remarkable example of BMW’s innovative open-top engineering from the early 1990s.
Originally built in 1991 and first delivered new in Germany in 1994 by an official BMW dealer in Hamburg, the car was acquired in 2004 by the President of the BMW Z1 Club Nederland and subsequently registered in the Netherlands. A professional expert report describes the vehicle’s overall condition as very good, confirming its careful ownership history and collector-grade status.
Rarity & ProvenanceOnly 193 BMW Z1s were produced in Pur Blau Metallic, and just 103 examples left the factory with the combination of this exterior colour and the Hellgrau leather/fabric interior. This exceptionally rare specification elevates the car to a true collector’s item, seldom seen on the market today.
The car benefits from a fully documented and certified mileage of 57,700 km and is accompanied by an extensive documentation file, including:

• Original delivery and service books
• Various owner’s manuals
• Maintenance invoices
• Inspection and technical reports
• Professional valuation report

ExteriorThe Pur Blau Metallic paintwork presents in very good condition, with no reported damage. The car retains its original 16-inch BMW alloy wheels, and the soft-top is also in excellent condition, consistent with the vehicle’s careful use and storage.
InteriorThe rare Hellgrau interior is equally well preserved, showing no damage. The cabin features:

• Two leather/fabric bucket seats with distinctive camouflage-style pattern
• Leather-trimmed interior accents throughout
• Three-spoke leather steering wheel
• Wooden gear knob
• Wind deflector

The luggage compartment houses the original spare wheel and factory tool kit, completing the car’s high level of originality.
Engine & Technical SpecificationPower is provided by BMW’s celebrated M20 2.5-litre inline-six engine, producing 171 hp at 5,800 rpm and 218 Nm of torque. Paired with a five-speed manual gearbox, the Z1 delivers a top speed of 225 km/h and accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in 7.8 seconds.
The engine runs perfectly, and gear changes are smooth and precise. The car is equipped with ABS, and the timing belt was replaced at 56,470 km. A major service was carried out at 57,600 km in November 2025, with numerous supporting invoices included.
SummaryThis BMW Z1 Roadster in Pur Blau Metallic with Hellgrau interior represents a rare opportunity to acquire one of the most exclusive specifications of BMW’s visionary roadster. Combining low, certified mileage, exceptional colour rarity, excellent documentation, and enthusiast ownership, this Z1 is perfectly suited for the discerning collector seeking a distinctive, investment-grade modern classic.
An outstanding example of BMW Technik innovation, offering both driving enjoyment and long-term collectible appeal.
