First drive in our new V8 swapped 1M - The car BMW should have made

Being a BMW M specialist there isn't many M cars we haven't owned but there is one thats always eluded us, and thats the E82 1M.

Now we're no stranger to the 1M, having developed products since it was launched back in 2011 - But one has never made it in to the Evolve fleet. The reason for that was this Java Green 1M which Imran drove back in 2015. This car is no normal 1M however, in fact is technically isn't even a 1M, but what it does have is a full S65 V8 conversion from the E9x M3 along with the complete body conversion using OEM parts.

That makes this the car we think BMW should have made all along, but how does it hold up to Imran's memory of driving it all those years ago?
