No living room should be without some sort of garage space.

Is that a black Norev E12 M535i I see?

Yes it is! A little disappointing though, as no features. That doors hood and trunk don’t open, and the steering is static. It’s a shame, because the interior is wonderfully detailed. Also, it was pricey.

I’ve wanted to add one for a while, but no opening features on a 1/18 is a dealbreaker for me.

On a 1/43? Sure. Just not on a 1/18 that costs almost $100.

I was looking for my car, but couldn’t find one for under $400, so this was as close as I could get. It’s a stunner for what it is, proportions are perfect, and top drawer details. Easily one of the nicest die cast I own, it’s a real shame about the features. I don’t regret the purchase, but it went from a 10/10 model to a 7.5/10. Makes my mustang still the crown jewel of the lot. I wasn’t aware of the static nature of the norev till I got it, and was going to make it the center piece, but no.

The blue 435? looks sweet. Does the roof have carbon grain? If so, that’s a massive win! I also really like the van. I’m a sucker for die cast of plain Jane everyday cars. I find in the die cast world, they are the rare and sought after. I’m always on the lookout for cars I’ve owned, and still have none. I can find some e30 models, but they are either $400 or more, or m3 models. Audi b4 a4’s? Nope. Mkll 4 door golfs with big bumper and rectangle headlights? Nope. E21? Nope. 76 2 door Valiant? Nope. 96 ford probe lol? Nope.

If you look closely, there’s a Jetta there too. That’s an F90 M5, by the way, not a 435i. It’s a Norev, but with full opening features.

No garage should be without a  living space.

Well, damn. I guess I lose a point. I was going to say m5, but couldn’t quite tell, second guessed myself, and went with the 435. Used to be you could easily tell bmw models from each other, but with the newer gen cars they all look alike. And my eyes glossed right over the jetta as they are want to do lol.
