Well… I did some searching online and found a few companies selling these highly detailed “Kyosho” 1:18 one series coupe model. Most of the places sell these detailed models for around 100 euros. I found this online model store that sold it for 75 euros plus 5 euros shipping (inside of Germany).

I was going to buy a 1:18 model from my BMW dealer… but they only have two colors: Black and Sedona Red. I wanted a silver one to match my silver 135i. Too bad they don’t offer shadowline or M-wheels or 6MT (the model is a auto) are possible options. Ohh well.

I am really happy with the quality of this model. I did find some on Amazon.com but then I started to think a model like this might get damaged in the APO shipping system… and in the end went with an online store in DE – to be sure of no damage in the shipping.

I know 80 euros is a lot to pay for a little toy model… but what can I say. I am a 1Addict! lol

Here are my photos…

And here are the BMW dealer 1:43 or 1:87 1'er models sold in the gift shop of the Welt or you can order them thru any BMW dealership.


I bought the two small size 135i models. 1:87 (small) and 1:43 (medium) sized models. They also had the larger 1:18 size for 65 euros.

The only problem is they die cast models are only made in two colors: Black or Sedona Red.

Here are some pics of the 135i models I have. They are cool, bc they open in an unusual way. By turning the cover in 180' degrees. Its also interesting that the small one is made in Germany while the medium size is made in China.

small 1:87th scale...









You can order these models from any BMW dealer:

small 135i model: 80 41 0 427 070 price 18 euros
med 135i model 80 42 0 427 067 price 28 euros
large 1:18 scale model 65 euros. sorry no part number.

Btw... BMW makes a model for every car they build!
