The 2006 BMW 320si with its unique hand built and fragile 170 hp I-4 was built in 2600 units for homologation and won the World Touring (WTCC) campaign. Although still a very desirable car, there's a whole cottage industry devoted to both repair and prevent frequently cracking engines.

Tremendous detail, enough discussion for 2 forums! LoL I won't pretend to know of or about everything duplicated here but I can say I really enjoy seeing these nicely replicated "floors." These scale body floor pans with their stampings, creases & folds are quite convincing. After all, 1/18 "floors" are seldom seen...if ever.

Great model. Mine is by Kyosho, though AutoArt also did these. For some reason, I thought the AA models were sealed, but I might be thinking of the previous generation E46.
