The BMW scale models thread.

Not a 'slot' just mounted on a black plastic base .... Received an email today saying that the e30 m3 is also out of stock! That's always the problem with the smaller manufacturers :nonono:

 

[Ram3on]

No it's not a 'slot' ..... just a 1/43 scale on plastic base :wub:

I unpacked some of my E36's last night, will clean them up and post the pics !! :excited:

 

[Ram3on]

Hey Ram3on its the scale that through me off, I am looking for an Autoart E28 M5 any advice/ideas? :idea: Very hard to get snapped up a M535i in white strangely enough the South African M5s' came with the body kit that the Europeans got, will post pics later.

My collection is 99% 1:18 scale, ebay has one E28 M5 in 1:18 but want
$499 :nonono: which is absolute madness, I will have to settle for the M535i which from the outside looks like the M5 we got anyway.

Thanks

Are these two 1/18 bm 's not available in SA ? The normal e30 M3 is about R1200 .

Both are 1:18 scale you will definitely not be able to get these in SA, moreover both are made in very limited numbers, there is only 1000 of the M1 being made I suspect the manufacturer is Autoart.

 

[Raybimmer]

I know the 1/18 e30 M3 are autoart at about R1200 . Playzone has them .

I have one that I bought an Autoart red Cecotto a few years ago and paid R400, thank goodness I did that they cost a fortune now. Where is Playzone, always looking for new model shops.

 

[Raybimmer]

Will check for details later , I know Playzone have the Cecotto for R1200 or 1300 now .

Here is a Welly 328i in 1/24 and 1/18 scale .
The X5 1/24 is also Welly and the 1/18 is Chinese .
The 1/24 M3 Black is a Motor Max....but it came in a Schucco box...
I used the e30 brochure for scale .
I hope Jacob Zooma brings some good Chinese models back with him !!

Cool man nice collection, all diecast models today are made in China like everything else. All my BMW models are in 1:18 scale, I have very few 1:24 scale models, they are most Jada.

 

[Raybimmer]

I must take pics of the latest models I bought....Maisto 1/18 scale e36 325i cabriolets....yes three , one black , one red and one metallic light blue ....
me thinks winning the lottery is a good idea....need space for model cars.....:thumbs:
