Not currently. My collection mainly came from The Franklin & Danbury Mints.

Ben they quit making their 1/24th scale cars quite some time ago. They sent me cars for reviews and photos that I put on this website years ago. The only sales of diecast for either Mint, today, is secondary - they handle some other builders such as Acme. They have far less detailing than the Mints use to build.

Ben,   Franklin Mint made a 1:24 scale BMW Z8 in red.  A nice piece.  I have a large collection of 1:24 scale BMW's made by "Pauls Model Art"  (minicamps) Most are models of cars from the 80's and 90's of three, Five and Seven series sedans. "Schabak Models" made a range of Thee Series coupes, convertibles and sedans, also 850 and Z series cars. All are beautiful and full functional models with excellent detail. In 1:18 scale "Kyosho" made many BMW models of mostly 3, 5, 7 and Z series sedans and roadsters. All above I purchased in the 90's.  I doubt that any of the named makers still have any available.  Best bet is secondary market.
