Actually I did buy them at the dealer in Germany......well not the e36...that one is made by "Burago". The e36 (by Burago) is relatively cheap(not more than $10, if that) and came with the little stand you see(scale 1:18), its quality is not as good as the other two but it is still nice.
The e46 m3 and the Juan Pablo Montoya Formula 1 racer I ordered from the dealer's catalog and received them in less than a week(ordered one in August and the other two weeks ago) no problem and is of EXCELLENT quality.
The Formula 1 racer is made by: "Fast World Equipment" and it is the "WilliamsF1 BMW FW25"
cost was about 50 or 60Euro(scale 1:18).
The E46 M3 is made by"Kyosho" color: imola Red Cost was about 50 or 60Euro(scale 1:18)
If anyone has problems getting one I would consider purchasing them and getting them to you guys...but only to posters that are at least rated "BMW Enthusiasts" and to a limited amount of people....would not want to get caught in a fraudelent court battle or something.
Here are pics of the boxes.....
This last image is a pic of the box of another BMW model that I am putting together myself:
it is made by a company called "FUJIMI"
