Greetings, A fairly fast project this, one long put off.  A few years ago KK released a range of 1:18th scale diecast BMW E3's, whereupon I purchased an example and later gathered up some recently removed new-tool sealed Minichamps 1:18th scale BMW E9 CSi and CSL wheels and tires hoping to add these to my KK E3 purchase.  Some promotional photographs depict the then new or newish Alpina-style rims without the familiar black paint finish across the centers, while so too do occasional examples turn up online depicting such as witnessed here.  I view this appearance as a bit lifele ..read more

This was my younger brother’s car. Badly chipped. What tires it had kept falling off. If you have old Matchbox cars some of the tires do seem to fall off for some reason.
