I didn't know BMW has owned Mini since 2000. That's interesting.

Nice job on the refurb. Yes

 

The BMW 1 series is this car with kidney grilles.

 Modeling is an excuse to buy books.

Just looked up the BMW 1 series based on your comment, Bill. Didn't know that either. Guess I don't know much about BMW's.

My wife had one until last year. It was fun to drive and went through oil which I found odd for a not-that-old luxury/sports car.

That turned out great.  I did a mini kit, fujimi I think.  They are so fun.  I'd like to do a 1:1 track version someday

Thanks,

John
