Sorry for any missed PM's. So please, those of you who would still like a model, please PM me and I will reply and hope get your models done!

Here is the latest one for a fellow forum member, who I also owe a big apology to for the delay in finishing this model:

San Marino Blue
Black interior
Gloss black spoiler
Custom gloss black diffuser
Custom gloss black front splitter
Custom gloss black side splitters
Kidney grills and side grills in gloss black

Colour on this is absolutely stunning!

Let us know your thoughts!

You know, models or not - you're kind of parking like a dick. Gives us all a bad name.

Just saying.

JK obviously - amazing work.

Since the BMW Art Cars were brought up in an earlier post, I thought I'd post my collection. I have all 16 and love seeing them most days in my den. The detail is amazing and the art is even better.

dope collection

SD ///M4 · 02-15-2018, 10:01 PM

Impressive collection! Did you buy them all new, on eBay, or elsewhere? Some of these go for crazy money on eBay.

I have the Calder, Stella, and Koons. The Koons is the only one that I bought new from a BMW dealer. The Lichtenstein is en route from the seller. These are the only four I was interested in.

I had the good fortune to see all of the BMW Art Cars on display at the BMW Museum in Munich during our first Euro Delivery in May 2011, except for the Koons car, which was elsewhere at the time. Bummer, since that's my favorite.

Fast forward to our second Euro Delivery in May 2016 and the Koons car was on special display at the BMW Museum! Then, fast forward to Monterey Car Week and BMW CCA Oktoberfest in August 2016 and they had both the Calder and the Koons car on display at Laguna Seca. The first and the last (at the time). Double bonus!

Thanks, I bought most new. I became interested in 2011 I think, when I had an E92 M3. I received an email about the Jeff Koons car preorder so I ordered it and a few more from BMW. Over the years I decided I wanted the complete set. It took a while but I was able to get most of the remailning on ebay in new condition for decent prices. Yes, some sellers are asking for ridiculous prices, more than I'd spend.

These are 1/18 3.5 CSL "Batmobiles". All are signed by the drivers.

Picked up a 1:18 Norev F80 a few weeks ago. Doors open, wheels roll, very nice detail! Finally got a proper photo:

The details are nice. Is there a better one? I'd like to get my hands on it!

This link now returns a "Not Found" result. Searching for "BMW M2" on their site only returns the black Pace Car edition.

I have several friends with M2s, many of them with Alpine White, and was hoping to share the link for the white one to them, but it doesn't appear to be available any more. Last year I bought the Long Beach Blue model as a gift for the person who organized our 2016 #CentennialMTour, but that's not longer available as well.

Even MiniChamps website shows it as being sold out!

That's a shame that they sold out so fast. I got mine with no problem.

There appear to be some on ebay

Yeah, I screwed up also, because I missed that he was looking for F80, not F82. Sorry.

moonshine89 · 06-20-2018, 11:17 PM

Anyone know where I can find a black f80 zcp model? I feel like they were never made in black!

I think the Norev model that was sold at dealers in Mineral Gray was the closest.
