i8 diecast models

AndyDubbya · 12-02-2014, 09:54 AM

I found these on page 80 in a Belgian Lifestyle 2015 brochure (UK version not out yet as far as I can tell), and a quick email to my helpful parts chap at the dealers got this reply:

"80 43 2 336 842 Grey 1:18 i8 is currently expected to be available in mid March 2015, priced at £85.00 inc VAT
80 42 2 336 837 Silver 1:43 i8 is expected to be available at the end of December, priced at £25.00 inc VAT"

The pdf of the brochure is here: http://www.bmw.be/dam/brandBM/market...5007605406.pdf

I can't vouch for the other colours' availability. Shame they're not doing all colours in both sizes, but hey.

Got my 1:18 yesterday. Good quality model, although the doors don't open high enough! The detail in the interior is very good, there's even the vertical glass screen behind the rear seats, which you can't even really see. The boot/engine cover doesn't open either.

Anyone found a 1:18 i3 model anywhere?
