I'm not a fan of the BMW art cars but the GT2 model itself looks very good.

Is it made by Spark?

Just checked and it is. Used a similar box to Spark for this one.

Good place to look for more of the Art Cars will be Ebay Germany, quite a few on there.

I've got the BMW Art Cars Book somewhere - very expensive originally and was sold with some models I think?

Modelissimo (I think they're in Germany) have some of the Art Cars available at discounted prices.

If you're serious about starting a collection, you could do worse than check them out!

I've no connection with them, except having bought from them before without problem.

BTW an Andy Warhol M1 sold for £391 on ebay a few days ago! This will get expensive

Looks great. Look forward to seeing your collection expand, i have just started to collect 1:43 models, i much prefer the details on them.

I'm not sure how many of these have been made in scale diecasts, here's a link for what you'll be looking for though

You may have to keep one of them in the freezer though

One of those on eBay at the moment, nearly £300 already.

I also noticed a Fly Slot car of the same car for over £220!

Was a real dog's dinner of a car in reality!

My favourite is the Calder CSL.

I missed out on a Calder CSL for 60 euros. It was at a classic car show on the BMW club stand, they had bought the stock from a BMW dealer and were selling it off. There were others but the CSL is my favourite. If I had known at the time that they were a good investment I would have bought some, but even so I don't even think that for an investment I would by the 850...

Any progress on this? I just bought the Frank Stella art car which is being delivered this week. Very tempted by that new one though. BMW can back order it but it will take until June now.

My brother and I got one each for xmas one year, after I saw them in FHM iirc. I got the David Hockney 850csi, and my brother the M3 M.J Nelson car
Wish we had got the M1 too now, at the time they were £80 ea I think.

Hello, are you still by any chance interested in selling?
