It's more thorough than other conversions but still priced dearly.

Big bucks for a modded 135i! Still, that's one heck of a 1er.

It would be easier to sell at that price with DCT and MPerformance seats. I think folks willing to drop that much coin on turnkey cars don't drive three pedals.

Jay Leno does...

For that price it should have a proper exhaust system. The straight pipes with fake Akra tips is a turn off. Plus you'll have to replace it with a proper system to pass any inspection.

A properly done S65 swap is huge $$$. All the little shit is nitpicking. This car is arguably more M than the 1, as much as it pains me to say. Super cool.

Not really. I bought a wrecked M3 at salvage and needed very little other than that. These guys are absolutely in space at $140,000. They make fancy videos to talk about "Our Engineers carefully crafted the car, yadda yadda." No bud, it's just taking parts off one car and bolting them to the other car. It's 99.9% off the shelf BMW parts. I would love to see this car in person and see what they think they needed to engineer. They're trying to sell a $40,000 car and $100,000 of marketing.

I've seen several video's on this build, no thank you. it's a $35k track build at most imo I'd rather buy a 1M with 150k miles for sticker price.
