I could use one of those on the passenger side.

I agree with Kika……..I’ll take one on the passenger door adding an eject button.

They actually did make it. I saw a couple in Europe some years back. A very, very pretty car. I wonder why it never got more exposure?

The Z1's doors just slid down and not down and under. If you check out the Z1 link provided above, you will see how high the sill is and how short the door is... the door just sinks into the sill, and then you have to climb over it. I remember when the Z1 was introduced- definitely a cool car!

for the miniskirt ploy to work, ya gotta get the doors down to floor level so the Ms's can comfortably just swing her high heels out!
Sheesh what kind of requirements is BMW working to????
