No, I didnt get mine from there.Alex L wrote:BostonGreenZ3 ,
Did you get yours from there, did it take long to arrive and is it fairly decent quality?
My ///M model is made by Burago (1/18 scale) and the quality and attention to detail is really first class - bonnet, boot and doors open and even the steering works also has Michelins
My Z3 model is made by Matchbox
When I was looking for mine, I looked in model shops, toy shops and even TK-Maxx which is where I bought the ///M
It looks like Evergreen colour on the website link but defo ask if they do other colours - if not, get the spray gun out

Your local BMW dealer should have a brochure with the 'official' BMW models. It's quite a substantial brochure and has almost all of the BMW ever produced often in different sizes.
I have a 1/18 Z4 (LHD) which my inlaws ordered from Scotthall in Leeds. It's made by kyosho. It's really well built and is very detailed e.g. Fabric seatbelts, soft top roof and fully functional steering.

Finally found one, although I don't think the colour is quite right but as close as I will get without respraying it myself

I bought a Z3 model from the BMW Mobile Tradition range at a dealer for about £20 a few years ago - it's very good, with even screen pillars looking real - most models, particularly the small ones, have pillars which are too thick. I forget the scale, but it's about six inches long.
The range includes M Roadsters, and is availble in many colours - it's worth checking, as on both quality and price they are pretty good.

When I had my 850 I dismanteled it, stripped it and painted it with the correct colour I got from the dealer. I did the interior to match my car too, and even made some small registration plates to stick on. A bit of a labour of love but it looks great and only cost around 25 quid in total. I plan to do a Z3 as soon as I get the time.

Hi
I am also looking for a model z3m
I bought one on ebay that got damaged in transit a Burago Model 1/18.
We could have been bidding against each other,
I saw your car on ebay and decided not to bid.
I won one recently on ebay sent off the money to France,
and as yet no car
This is the first time something like this has
happened to me on ebay,
mind you its the first time i have gone international
Live and learn
And I'm still looking

I just made the mistake of winning an ///M grill badge without noticing that it is coming from Hong Kong. Fingers crossed it arrives.
Should do, Hong Kong sellers are usually quite good (any feedback?) and the cost of the badge (Floating about the £14 mark i'd say?) is well under the anal customs charging system!
Mine came from Hong Kong no problem, the only thing is though, on mine the bolts weren't long enough so I had to take the grill off and shaved a bit off the back of the section of grill I was attaching the badge to, looks great now though

I'm going to have to get a Z3 model now....everyone else has one. Spotted one in a glass cabinet in a local BMW dealership a couple of months back. Its a red 2.8, probably 1:48 for about £20. Was going to buy it, then realised it had no door mirrors! I wonder if that's how its meant to be?

Actually, just looking at Mike's now...it is similar to that. Same wheels i believe, but like I said, no wing mirrors
