Originally we have planed to present the whole collection at once but then we decided to split it into parts. Each one should bring up some exact part of BMW cars line-up.

At the moment, the topic of the exhibition is M-Power. Here are some pictures of it:

You can find all of the pictures here: http://carbon-park.com/bawaria-motors

Enjoy!

What an awesome collection!

It's good to know that there are other members who share their passion between BMW cars and miniatures. I would like to see your collection.
ArtCars are fantastic. I have 5 of them so still a lot to collect but definitively they are worth every penny.

Here is mine.. spans through all 4 pages http://www.diecastxchange.com/forum1...ks-118-models/

Nowhere near as exciting as yours, but will get there someday!

My first Art Car is actually on the way, V12 LMR, will complete my entire Kyosho LMR series.

Next on the list is either the Jeff Koons e92 or Alexander Calder CSL!

I'm also glad I have a fellow DX'er on here as well!

20-30hrs depending on model.

Zeroblade · 04-07-2015, 12:24 AM

Damn a 9V battery just for lights?? lol

They need a new display case, F8x is on path to being legend pretty quickly IMO.

I'd like just a E39 M5.

JEllis · 04-07-2015, 12:48 AM

Very cool

inline sex · 04-07-2015, 01:34 AM

Too cool! hey tomorrow's my birthday and I would gladly take one off your hands

Dackelone · 04-07-2015, 02:19 AM

Very, very nice!

0-60Motorsports · 04-07-2015, 03:28 AM

Amazing collection

swagon · 04-07-2015, 04:12 AM

You are my hero, OP. I want to have that collection in the future. And props to the dealer being open to this idea!

We should hear about the Minichamps 1 M soon per the guy who's making it.

wafik · 04-07-2015, 04:26 AM

Awesome collection!! Good to see another collector on here. I have a massive 1:18 BMW collection including many custom made models such as certain Alpina models, LB performance M3, BMW individual models (resprayed) etc...Wish I had enough space to display them as well as you have!

How long do you get to keep them there?

M235i will be released as a resin model so no opening parts but you still can do the lighting to it.

This is awesome - I've always wanted to have at least one model in collection with LEDs.

Don't you say! You've got plenty of cool and rare models.

Good to know! Is there any place where I can see your customs? I'm looking for inspirations.
I have the same problem with displaying - despite the fact that part of my collection is in showroom, the rest of it is still too large to put in my cabinet at home.

At first it was said that this exhibition will last for one year but the interest exceeded our expectations and now we are considering an idea to make it permament.

VenomUK · 04-07-2015, 06:14 AM

Where can I buy some from?

biggripper · 04-07-2015, 06:23 AM

This is so fun! If I had a collection of these it would certainly not be helpful at all in convincing my wife that I love her more than cars.

You can always visit your BMW dealer to order one of the current models. If you are interested in older, you have to look for them on eBay (search for: BMW 1 18) or at your local model shops.

So, maybe this is a point why I'm still single.

This is so cool! I used to have so many models when I was a kid, wish I still had them.

I'd absolutely love to start the M3 collection (and add an M2 when that comes out) as those are the cars I can most relate to. Were these all made by the same manufacturer?

Sure, here is some of my project ones...some are still working progress as you can see they are not yet complete but hopefully be done soonish. Can post pics of the collection should you like to see.

Sorry for the crappy iphone pics and bad background (they are kept in my warehouse!)

The following have been recently modified & resprayed:

2 x LB Performance e92 M3s are in Melbourne Red & Yas Marina blue
E92 M3 in Atlantis blue
One of the Alpina e21 in Estoril Blue.
The e46 M3 CSL in Santorini Blue
M1 in LSB
M635 in Yas Marina Blue - but not so sure it suits it? Maybe when fully rebuilt.
