BMW converted to electric and still a manual?!!

People say that EVs aren't engaging to drive. Well we've proved that wrong with this electric BMW 1602, not to be confused with it's bigger brother the BMW 2002. BMWs are famous for their handling and the connection the driver has with the car and the road. We aimed to keep that with this BMW build by keeping the manual gearbox and using an electric motor that simulates the rev range of the original engine. In addition we kept a careful eye on weight distribution and upgraded the suspension and brakes. All in all the end package is just that perfect combination of classic style with modern underpinnings. What do you think? Our trimmers mentioned in the episode are Awesome Classic and Custom based out of Cambridgeshire, England.
