YoungCR Posted March 1, 2016 Report Share Posted March 1, 2016 Just sold off all of my 1:24 scale cars. Had a Maisto X5 with trailer and a Z4. Auto art makes some great BMW models, would love to get the E28 M5 and B7 Turbo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jc43089 Posted March 2, 2016 Report Share Posted March 2, 2016 I have a red hot wheels e36 on my desk at work, does that count? Sent from my 831C using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patsbimmer1 Posted March 2, 2016 Report Share Posted March 2, 2016 I currently have 22 diecast models on my desk at work... they're all BMW and Porsche with my favorite being a 1/32 2009 BMW M3 GT2. I've got a few more at home and it's a mixed bag. I've got a few Maisto and those are pretty cool. One is the Alpina Z8. My wife just rolls her eyes now when I buy a new one.

StriggityStrack Posted March 2, 2016 Report Share Posted March 2, 2016 I am a little impulsive when it comes to buying car/gun parts and this thread made me realize that I badly want this UT 1:18 scale M3 for my desk at work. It has everything (besides the spoiler) down to my same wheels. Unfortunately it appears UT stopped production in the 90's and I'm not about to sell an arm and leg to buy something that's a rare collector item. AutoArt was mentioned but from what I saw on their website they don't even sell any e36 models. Do you guys have any other recommendations?

straight6pwr Posted March 2, 2016 Report Share Posted March 2, 2016 all these 1/18 cost and arm and a leg, unfortunately. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Otto-BMW-M3-E36-3-2-Blue-1-18-/351664809094?hash=item51e0db2486:g:ok8AAOSwll1W0sWv Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can get a nice M3 for $8,000 so I guess its a deal to pay 1/40th the cost for a car that's 1/18th in size. In theory you are saving $244.44. Or is that not how this whole thing works?

Boris3 Posted March 2, 2016 Report Share Posted March 2, 2016 No M3, or an e30 coupe model which I'd like to find, but this FS post has been on CL for a while: http://chicago.craigslist.org/nwc/clt/5434320058.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B C Posted March 31, 2017 Author Report Share Posted March 31, 2017 Wife just confirmed my son swiped it from someone else's toy bin last night. Glad he is turning the right direction instead of playing with his shuttle bus and civic hatchback, despite the pilfering that occurred. m42b32 and GunMetalGrey 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

patsbimmer1 Posted March 31, 2017 Report Share Posted March 31, 2017 I got this alignement rack, balancer and tire machine as a gift from Hunter Engineering. It's 1/18th scale and I need a 1/16th scale car to put on it. Currently I have my e92 M3 1/24 scale on it. B C and Bassboy3313 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
