My friends are awesome.

If you're assembling small parts or ones that have finish already like chrome pieces, use white glue. It practically disappears when dry. I've used it for clear parts like wingtip lights and canopies.

Anyone know of a similar model based off the E34 M5?

They have an M5, 535i and the ACS 535i. Heard the details and fitment sucks. Still a cool thing to have though.

There is another company that makes a few different ones too. I have 1 It might be a Hartge or Hamann or something its in storage so i don't know exactly which one is it.

Thanks for the link. It doesn't seem to be terribly accurate, but then I imagine the number of model kits based off some stealthy sports saloon is fairly low.

But it looks like it has the same low level of details the e30 kit does.

Nice, I got a kits, and a couple hard to find E34 ones too. I just display the box keeping everything inside intact cause whatever I build looks like crap, even the skill level 1 snap togethers.

If one can be had for that cheap I'll keep my eyes open! Woo tax money!

[shmutzigE30]

i was thinking of gettin this the other day off ebay. still want to.....

[JasonC]

Model looks nice. But i dont have too much patients to build one of these.

One good thing about this e30 model kit, is that it's very basic and low on details. So not much effort has to really be put into it.

[norcalE30]

very nice! i love to build models... i gotta find me a couple e30s to build

[TDE30]

I never said it was rare, I just imagine that those kits may one day fetch some pretty decent money if they are complete and in their original wrapping.

Oh well, it'll be neat to see some finished pictures of it.

There's no way I'm going to take a gift from a good friend and try to flip it..

Good man.

I was in taiwan and there are hundreds of shops that sell models like this. Trust me, its not rare. I got a Lancia Delta Integrale model that I made and love it (my dream car). I will get an e30 one next time. Here is a tip tho... Be very patient with it because there are some small pieces and crazy glue can strip the paint. I reccomend tweasers and even a magnifying glass if possible.

I've got a few of those kits. It's been released again with the Hartge parts and the M3 has been out also. You can usally pick one up off of ebay for around $5-$20 (used) I don't know what the new ones sell for but they are usally for sale in Japan on ebay. Revell also has that same kit but has smoked windows.

Post it up in this thread when you're done with it. http://www.r3vlimited.com/board/showthread.php?t=79807
