That’s why I asked about the 370 they are completely different cars… The 350 is a sporty car and the 370 is a sports car they aren’t even remotely similar...370’s handling is much better.

Nice ! 2nd picture was taken in Monaco ;)

I remember at the time Emmanuel Petit (future world champion with France 1998) was diving one in Monaco when he was a player there. I recommend you check on youtube the "Vintage Mechanics" on BMW Z1 that was screened recently in France. Very interesting c...
Into engine oil
By: Weems@8 : August 7th, 2020-12:00
When oil runs through your body, best Nicolas, it never goes away. The Z1 is in my opinion a typical car for BMW fans. Old timers from BMW are strong. I never drove a Z1, but it is an interesting car. The prices i do not know. I look sometimes the prices ...
