Glad you guys got your models so fast! Today I went to went to ship some orders, but our post offices on Base are closed due to the budget woes. Hang in there... the end is in sight. I am only waiting on a few more orders from Max to come in. But I have 95% of 1M's that were ordered. Hopefully as soon as Congress gets its act together... I will get out the remaining models.


Jean-Marc sorry about the spoiler. For some reason Max had the die for the models only made with a BLACK spoiler or a CF look spoiler. No OEM painted one was possible, nor was a spoiler delete - was possible. I think the CF look spoiler turned out great!

And FYI: Max is, in my opinion, family of the owners of the minichamps brand...

His full name is Max Lang... Owners of the company: Romy Lang, Paul G. Lang

If somebody wants to order a model you can contact him at:

mlang@minichamps.de directly

Nice guy by the way!

Yes, all the models come with a black spoiler. A CF spoiler was optional. I thought everyone knew this!?

Your model was shipped out last week(9/26). So you should receive it soon.


Max wants to build a 1:18 scale model, but so far no deal has yet been made. So its something for the future. Right now he can only make 1:43 scale 1M's.

Absolutely Dackel: you clearly mentionned this point during the ordering.
I will probably pull the trigger and order a CF spoiler (full size...): the model is sooo convincing

Hi Dackel,

I guess for the rest of the models that have not been shipped out, we will just have to wait until the US government shut down is over and the post office is re-opened

I am 100% in for a 1:18!!! Please let me know anytime this goes trough, completely committing to it!

Is it a volume issue? If so maybe we can arrange a minimum number and see who would be up for it...

No, it is a licensing issue. I think BMW has to award a license to the model maker and I am sure they do not do that for free. So some negotiating is needed.

When I find out when the 1:18 models are starting production... I will let everyone know. Max has been pretty cool with me/us.


PS: Hey guys how about posting some pics of your 1M models up?

And... I told you two days ago(in your PM) that I am not taking any new order now.

You should contact Max directly. Go back a few pages to find his email address. In a week or two I might start to supply basic 1M models(but I have not decided whether I will or not, this was a lot of work!). But no custom orders like I first offered - its just too difficult to keep track of every order.

Hi Dack,

Thank you for your reply.
I understood that you explain, but I am afraid that I can buy this custom model.
Because I can understand German, and I live in Japan now.

I apologize for inconvinence.

Hi David,

Models arrived and thank you for the superb packing job! The gummy bear and post card is a nice touch. Waited 4 months for this, just like my real car, at the end it's totally worth it.
