A lot of nice little details. It's kind of expensive though.

This link will get you to the top of the page (rather than the "related items" at the bottom.) It took me a few seconds to figure out what happened when I clicked katmai's link.

Looks cool -- I've been looking for an Alpine White model -- BMW doesn't even offer one. This thing has great detail which is probably why it's so expensive. Hmmm, tempting...

Okay, I found it for $49 with shipping in January here. (It comes in Blue and Gray as well...)

They also have smaller scale (less expensive) ones...

This link will take you to the 2004 5-Series page that has both 1:18 and 1:43 scale models.

Anyone up for a group buy? Lomag, maybe you can snatch up some at a discount and sell them here?

I think it would be pretty neat if you could order an exact replica of your car. Would cost more but the consumer like me would be happier.

I think the top car manufacturers should give you a model of your car, while your waiting for it. Same colour, inside and out, same alloys etc.

Yes, and i want a scaled E61!

The details in the links are incredible, if you wouldn't know you'd think it was a picture of a real car..

very tempted - but for that price I would have to be very careful to
keep it away from the kids. Hey just like the real thing

I have this model, in my color no less. Mystic Blue!
I purchased it in munich at the bmw store. (temporary museum)
right next to the olympic park.

The model is pretty cool. (The paint looks great)

the steering wheel moves.

However there is a little rubbing when trying to turn left. (the rubbing caused by one of the tie-rods for one of the wheels)

all-in-all it looks really cool on my desk and i recommend spending the $50 and getting a small spot light to shine on it above for effect
