BMW M ROADSTER, a Testors/ Bburago kit just completed (pics), the second try.

Purchased on the "used" market, this unfinished metal model had the factory paint partially removed. I replaced it (twice!) with a burgandy.

Nice kit, fun to work with, copyright in 2,000, made in Italy by Bburago/ Testors. The BMW decals were included. I added a little detailing. Enjoy!

You pick some very obscure kits David, and i commend your bravery. I was a certified M-power BMW technician at a local BMW dealership here in Massachusetts.
I was the first tech to drive the brand new M powered Z8, which ironically was the first Z8 to enter the United States.
That was one fun PDI test drive! (pre delivery inspection)
That was in 1999 or 2000, and that car stickered at over $100k.

I have the Minichamps James Bond version of that car - same color.

Interesting. I think the Minichamps Z3 version is very similar to the one I built, but in a different color. However, I know very little about BMWs in any size!

The Bond Z3 is a light-to-medium metallic blue.
