The German company Everytimer Automobile makes a retro-mod version of the BMW 2002 from an e88 1 series 135i.
According to the article, it's fiberglass bodywork on a 135i chassis. They reuse the e88 windshield and trunk lid for the soft top, with modern round bi-xenon headlights & led tails. Based on the photos it's a n55 DCT.
I like the looks. If BMW built this i would buy one. Especially if there was a hardtop version. I'd think it would look better without the idrive in the dash for a cleaner look.
