Is this the same chap that came to the Ace Cafe 1M meet in the diesel 1M coupe replica last year. I have to admit this conversion looks very good. Love that colour especially

Have to say, it looks lovely! I'm not a fan of soft tops but I imagine that's exactly how BMW would have made it look.

A lot of work and effort, must appreciate the passion.

So it's an exterior cosmetic makeover rather than a 1M conversion!

Nice effort though, but not for me......

Yeah advert title really is misleading

"Replica" in the title more accurate

Gotta say it looks great, nicely done. Black interior though?

It looks great in the metal, and sounds great too.
The pics dont do it justice,

The colour really works well with the cream interior i think.

Yep same company that did the diesel rep.
i prefer this one to the diesel personally-bmw missed a trick not releasing it.

Yup! Just like the orange wrapped (formely flat grey wrapped) 125iA Vert - I saw at Essen Motor Show...
