Here's The Most Comprehensive Look At The BMW Z1's Weird Doors You'll Ever See

Doug DeMuro takes a closer look at the BMW Z1, and some of the quirky design features that emerged as a result of its unusual door arrangement

I’m sure most of us have seen the BMW Z1’s weird ‘disappearing’ doors in action, but it’s fascinating to see the way they work in greater detail. Not to mention how they affected the rest of the car’s design.

That’s what we get from Doug DeMuro’s Z1 quirk-finding mission, along with a closer look at other odd details like the inconveniently-placed glovebox, and the removable body panels.

Is this the weirdest BMW ever?

Me:Those doors must weigh a ton.

Also me: (door goes up, door goes down. door goes up, door goes down. door goes up, door goes down. door goes up, door goes down.) hehe

They put the funky doors just to take your attention away from the plastic panels. For a firm as committed to squeezing out every last bit of performance out of a car, this does seem strange

It’s rough I know. I got downvoted at poking fun at the timing of one of MattRobinson ‘s articles.
