1987 BMW Z1 Coupe

The 1987 Frankfurt Motor Show was a big event for BMW, marking the debut of the 750i powered by Germany’s first post-war 12-cylinder engine, the 3 Series Touring, and the Z1. At this stage, the Z1 was still a prototype, but that didn’t stop one visitor to the BMW stand offering 150,000 Deutschmarks for the privilege of owning a BMW with Gwyneth Paltrow doors. It’ll come as no surprise to discover that BMW refused the offer – not least because the prototype had cost two million Deutschmarks to build.
