>788
>
>
>the seller claims that the car is a "FACTORY M1 Conversion," when it is
>CLEARLY not. The M1 looked nothing like the ///M635csi (which is what
>this car is a phony copy of).
>
>Also, the seller claims POWER seats, and the vehicle has manual seats.
>
>The seller claims the car is loaded "with several ///M1 parts." IT HAS
>NOT A SINGLE M1 part! It is a standard 633 Euro, with a phony ///M badge
>on the trunk, grille (it is misplaced by one rung on the grille, too),
>and the tachometer. The Steering wheel is from a 6 series BMW, and has
>been made to look (improperly, as well) like an ///M steering wheel. THE
>Rims are BY NO MEANS standard for a 1979 car, etc.
>
>The seller claims it is an "M1 conversion," and there is NO SUCH THING.
>The 1979 M1 was only made in a run of approx 400, and is a fiberglass,
>custom made CARBED vehicle, with a mid-engine. (the car in the post has
>a 633 engine, which is FUEL INJECTED.

>These guys are complete phonies.
