M3/M4 Diecast Models

I just got an F80 from GT Spirit in White from Modelissimo on Ebay - pretty much the same as the YAS except it has black interior.

I think someone mentioned this but the cars cannot even move right? they are stationary and do not allow for wheel movement? I know the doors dont open at all. kind of disappointing as a whole.

The cars roll. I think the wheels are on common axles, which is a cheap way of mounting them. The front wheels don't turn. The bodies aren't diecast, they're made of resin. But, it's the only way to get a 1:18 M3 sedan and the quality isn't terrible.

Convertible from GT-Spirit is also available!

That's right. I don't know of anyone else making an F80 in any scale - 1/43, 1/18 or other. So its really the only way to get a model F80 M3 until another producer licenses the car and builds an alternative.

Mint Models offers the Marco Whitman DTM M4 in 1:43 from Minichamps. Not sure when it's out, but I think I want. I wish it was in 1:18 though. Has anyone heard of it coming out in 1:18?

It's usually a good sign that when they come out with one in 1:43 scale, they'll come out with one in 1:18 scale.

I bought the 1:18 AY M4, gloss white enamel paint and a set of fine brushes. Wish me luck, I've never done anything like this before...

mrjayo · 12-24-2015, 10:56 AM

I was doing some shopping the other day and randomly looked at the hot wheels cars at the store and the first one I saw was a AY M4. I had a AY M3 so it was a must for me to get a couple of them to have. Thought it was pretty cool and they did a pretty good job designing it. If you look closely you can see the carbon fiber roof as well. Here are some pics I snapped with my iPhone. Let me know what you guys think.

jeff@autocouture · 12-24-2015, 11:10 AM

nice!, I found a YAS one not to long ago, it had a front splitter on it, kind of cool

jasnh · 12-24-2015, 12:14 PM

Awesome....going to have to get one

DreaminBMW · 12-24-2015, 12:50 PM

Look at those fenders on the front and rears!! You think those would look nice on a stock F82?!

Powerslide · 12-24-2015, 01:43 PM

Nice - is it DCT or Manual?

ASAP · 12-24-2015, 01:44 PM

Lol, thats quite an aggressive offset.

Nah I don't own them. I kinda want to get one, but they're not cheap and I know I won't use them much. I do own a couple of R/C cars though... grew up building them.

Patrnflyr · 12-29-2015, 08:48 AM

Anybody know how to change out the wheels without destroying the frame. I'd like to change mine out on a Ferrari model. Still waiting on a black M4 with black interior to buy with black wheels. It'll show up eventually.

Damasconian · 12-29-2015, 09:40 AM

SO isnt getting enough love when it comes to the Hotwheels BMW's. Lots of AY and YMB, but not SO as far I can see. Look forward to picking one up if they ever come around. If I have to wait any longer I may look into buying and painting one, although that sounds better in thought than reality.
