Conversion would be the full widebody, rear quarters, front fenders and bumper, plus assorted wheel liners, undertray, plastic bits etc etc.
I'd also do the DCT+V8 combo if presented the opportunity.

asn993 and odyssey on this forum are my favorites and have an unmatched OEM+ quality finish to them. Others I've seen are hack-jobs.
You had me at "bumper not conversion". Was frothing when I saw V8 but you lost me at DCT. That is no longer a 1M. Being the last car bmw will ever offer as a manual only car is core to the 1M. The motor not so much but manual only was a statement in this day and age. The only other car that has done that recently is the GT4 and that is good company. If you put automatic in 135i replica 1M might as well add M badge to Hyundai sports car in my humble opinion.
