  • You might know of the Z1 for its weird, vertically retracting doors, but what it's actually like to drive and live with? Alex and Matt spent a day with one to find out...

    Dudes-- the Z1 windows work like most BMWs have for decades... put the key in the door and turn left and hold it. The windows will roll up automatically. Also, the steering wheel is not an E30 part, it's unique to the Z1.

    ​ @CarThrottle at least you read the comments. Whoever is responsible for this great job! I am sure you are still waiting for things to calm down so the numbers come back up. Thing is, you destroyed the credibility of this channel so what is the purpose of watching this if we cannot bond with the presenters? Chances are they may come and go as the management, who clearly has no clue, wishes. Acting as if nothing happened, not even introducing the new presenters is clearly a very stubborn decision that must have been forced by someone whith enough authority and the certainty that they know better. Let that someone present it then, they must be unfirable enough for us to form a bond with them!
