Well there's at least one brand new AW 1M still awaiting delivery in Australia. Saw it today sitting in the car park at Panel One in Alexandria. Still has the factory stickers, seat covers, door protectors, etc. No rego plates yet.

I assume Panel One were fixing some minor transit delivery damage for a BMW dealer, though I couldn't see anything visible.

He was joking. The car at Panel One was definitely a 100% BMW-issued AW 1M.

I actually contacted them to ask and from the answer I received, although they haven't done it yet, I believe they would actually do it. He just said it would be very expensive...

It would be pretty interesting to do on a vert...

Been done on a 135i vert in Europe already

aus135i · 11-08-2012, 09:54 PM

Here you go Alex. I think this one is a little more tasteful but it's an M3 convert not 1M. Would look much better in a AW or BSM.

Thanks Edwin, looks pretty sweet except for the 1M badge at the back

. Don't actually mind the Posrche 'turbo' lettering though.

Though it looks like a render and not actual conversion I think.
