Other BMW plastic scale models

Aside from the CSL I mentioned, I've been working on a variety of 
BMW-related models.

Recently, I finished the Jagermeister M1 from ESCI in 1/24th scale. I 
have to say that this model lacks in quality. Looks really nice, but 
construction leads to be desired.

Another interesting piece I've come across is a BMW 507 (1955) die cast. 
Seems quite nice.

There are several E36 M3 kits in the wings. We have a very high quality 
1/24th scale by Dragon (new to plastic scale autos - they focus on 
weaponry). Furthermore, we are expecting to acquire an E36 M3 LTW kit 
from Dragon.

Being an E28 M5 owner, I've wanted an E28 M5 plastic scale kit. One would 
think they are non-existent. After much searching we have discovered a 
1/24th scale E28 M5 made in Japan. My hobby shop guru and plastics 
specialist, Matt Sturgeon, is working on getting importation of this 
model. 

Finally, I'm looking for a good quality 2002 model. Or variations on the 
theme, such as a Turbo model, or a 1600, etc. We've not had luck, yet, 
but Matt's working it.

I've discovered that Tamiya 635CSI Groupe A Schnitzer 1/24th is NLA.
So is the M635 from Tamiya in 1/24th. This is quite unfortunate, as these 
models are wonderrful (I have them both). The Groupe A car is 
unbelievablly beautiful.

Back to sniffing glue,

p.s. Anyone with interesting BMW plastic scale information or looking for 
high quality plastic scales of your favourite car/bike/etc, feel free to 
contact me. The Plastics Master at my hobby shop is way into euro plastic 
scales and has found quite a few nice kits for me...
