Hey all,

With the release date for these puppies getting closer is anyone interested in trying to stitch up some sort of bulk-buy deal??

It'd be cool if we had a decent buying power, we could maybe get a few of the more common variants made: Alpinweiss with Blue interior, Black with black etc

Aussies?? Anyone keen to bulk buy for Aussie enthusiasts??

Hmmm. Blacked-out window trim.

$65, ooof. A well, you're getting a lot of car for the money. It looks good though.When I get mine I'm gonna take it apart, repaint the interior tan and exterior green. It shall be my car's mini me.

Every good car needs a mini-me.

Sometimes, you can catch that exterior color (still have to paint the interior) on EBAY in 1/24th or 1/43rd scale by Schabak. I have a Green and Black in 1/24th scale, a White one in 1/43rd, a Green 1/64 scale Alpina B10 Bi-turbo by Herpa and a few less worthy 535 diecast .
Nice model, but I'm still holding out for the 1/18 Art Car 535i from BMW that I'm almost positive MiniChamps is producing. With the stunning art work that It has, I'm sure it has been hard or maybe impossible to get the decals right. But with the release soon of this car, It can't be too far off. I'm keeping my fingers crossed.

I didnt even think of that. Wonder if their screwed together or what. Id like to get one with wide grills and a V8, THAT would be cool!

Heres a link right to the BMW page

I have many diiferent scales/brands and colors of all the 5 series (e12 to e60/61) with a focus on e34 models ranging from 1/64 to 1/24. The 1/18 art car which should be produced soon should be excellent.

BTW, I would certianly like a dark green with parchment interior AND wide grill in 1/18 scale. Doubt if I will see it. :)

[Randell]

yeah not sure about that red interior... if there is a bulk purchase for Oz i will get 2.. gotta make one of em red :)

[mattyb]

was in gladesvillle-sydney yesterday and saw a very nice red one pull up a few cars behind me. was it you.

[Nick.Hay]

I don't really want to do the bulk ordering for the aussie forum members... Things like this have backfired on me in the past... But if someone decdes to do an order, I'll take 2!! :D

[DaCan23]

I've been wishing for a 1/18 scale E34.... I have a big collection of 1/18 cars, maybe 70 or so. Finally.....

[mattyb]

hey nick have u had anymore thoughts on the group buy?

[Nick.Hay]

Not sure...

I was basically putting the idea out there. I have no credit card, no idea how freight logistics work etc, so I'm possibly not the best person for the job...
