I think this is objectively cool, if not everyone's cup of tea. Its not like anyone at the time liked the way the 1 actually turned out anyway.

An element of nostalgia would be lost on most for this to be popular. I'll guess the 1r has a following that 20yrs from now could have a renewed interest.

When admiring M3 e30's or e21 323's I see the precursor more then 2002's. I'd dislike future admirers to look at my 1r as a BMW PT Cruiser ish. I think if BMW releases this 02 retro in 2007 it would have less of a following now and once the novelty wears off it's A punchline.

I agree to an extent. Some rear-view-re-dos can be well done like the mustang & camaro. Others like the HHR, thunderbird or bronco should just not happen. I like this one b/c it's a modern car in vintage cover. That said I wouldn't pay $80k for it. Heck, I buy used BMWs for a reason. Depreciated.

Anyway, just got my monthly edition of Roundel mag. Look what's on the cover.

If it went down a normal production line it would be priced same as a M240 right, give or take... would you want it then? would you want it 3yrs later when off lease 45% depreciated? I'd guess my 128i current pros- NA RWD MT replacement matters more then how it looks, modern N52 under warranty $45-50k vert I'd buy retro or not, this size vs the bloated Charger, Mustang and Camaro matters too.

A big convenience of a 1r is how many overlap of parts with e36, e46 and e9x with little or no mods, coming out retro using that same bin would invite a purchase too? These 2 retro cars show brilliancy and I like them but(BUT) $80k no way unless full support from mfg makes this a better mouse trap that beats a path to BMW's door.

This neo-2002 (from German-based Everytimer Automobiles) made me smile.

According to the January Roundel, the conversion cost $80,000.

P.S. Wish it was a Coupe.

ShocknAwe · 01-13-2019, 10:51 PM

I'd drive it. But I'm not exactly what you'd call unbiased. Lol

Yeineken · 01-14-2019, 06:43 AM

Man that's some amazing body work.

Dreamers. Lov'em.

MParallel · 01-14-2019, 08:00 AM

Saw it in real life at Bimmerfest Netherlands, where some of these pics are from.

Looks cool from the outide, but the stock interior makes it feel incomplete.

K1M2 · 01-14-2019, 08:11 AM

Very nice

GOLFFRR · 01-14-2019, 08:48 AM

pretty cool, not my cup of tea but very cool nonetheless

redEYEjedi · 01-14-2019, 09:54 AM

Very creative! But not sure if you can call it a restomod if it's not using the original chassis. Looks a bit weird to be honest. Not really my cup of tea but kudos for all the work.

10" · 01-14-2019, 10:11 AM

Looks pitiful. Almost as pitiful as those fake 1M bumpers people put on...

Costello1991 · 01-14-2019, 10:38 AM

the ultimate sleeper. imagine that thing with a ps2.

Sedan_Clan · 01-14-2019, 11:16 AM

That's pretty clean.

ashkgerd2 · 01-14-2019, 11:29 AM

I would definitely buy this. Love everything but the rear.
I have always wondered why more companies don't do this...retrofitting old classics on modern chassis and interiors.
I would love to see this done to an E30.

VMRWheels · 01-14-2019, 12:48 PM

I dig the way it looks, but the price is a little on the steep side. Definitely a conversation starter!

Big boi m5 · 01-14-2019, 01:56 PM

It's cool but retro mod is risky business. Never forget the HHS.

The mustang Camaro and challenger obviously were successful.

The e82 is just a fat pig compared to the 02 though.
