Was hoping over time it would be turn key but so far doesn't seem so.

Everyone overlooks the steering rack on 1M conversión and that is one of the best parts. I think buy a high mileage 1M is a better value than building one. Yes you might be able to build one for less than 1M price but you will still have comparable maintenance and issues and probably go over budget. Let's say you build a 1M clone for $30k but you can get a higher mileage 1M for $40k. When you're done. If you have to sell the clone you will get $20k for it if lucky. If you sell 1M you might get $36k for it
If you ensure your custom 135i you will need special insurance for it while 1M will still KBB at $40k. So there are hidden costs. You also won't get the 1M M dynamic mode and cluster Alcántara etc. Prices have dropped for high mileage cars and it seems like the better option to me.
