BMW Z cars: Roadsters and Coupes - A design and development history

Since 1930, BMW roadsters and their coupe versions have embodied the essence of driving pleasure. These two-seaters are designed for enjoyment, featuring high-revving engines and agile handling.

This book provides a detailed history of BMW roadsters, starting with the early sports racers of the 1930s, including the race-winning 315/1 and 328, and the iconic 507 of the 1950s. It then explores the modern roadster revival, from the innovative Z1 and the popular Z3 to the latest Z4 and i8 Roadster.It covers all coupe, racing, and M variants, along with unique models like the Z1 Art Car and Alpina V8. Concept cars such as the Z2, GINA, Z8 Coupe, Mille Miglia Concept Coupe, and Vision ConnectedDrive are also featured.

Based on interviews with key figures, "BMW Z Cars: Roadsters and Coupes" introduces the designers and engineers who turned ideas into reality. It even uncovers the true origin of BMW's Z designation, which, contrary to popular belief, has no connection to the German word "Zukunft" (future).
