Nice... the 1/18 looks cool !

The Vermillion Red Schuco uses original OEM paint so is a perfect match. These are also available in some other factor colors from Peter Nesshan Model Autos.

Unfortunately, no choice of wheels, interior color or without sunroof, but all come with VDC.

These are definitely "models" but are certainly not "toys".

I'd like to hope that they will eventually produce the M Sport version, but unlikely. Market interest will be too small for them to make any money on it. I have 1/18 models of all my previous BMWs. For the X5, I had to settle for the non-M Sport, but close enough. The AW X3 would look much different.

I was hoping for a M-sport version too. I guess it is not too hard to make the front bumper with epoxy putty. The difficult part is the rear bumper.

When i get the real X3 in August, I will put the model car on the dashboard as decoration. :-)

I will pick up a X3 1/18. Went to the dealer and got a M3 Cab 1/18.

Thanks Lotus7... awesome link! I found my Sparkling Bronze

I wished it was 1:18 though... I am going to still go ahead and order 1:43

The 1/43 Schuco models are very detailed. The instrument dials and the center console will amaze you. Peter and Sabine Nasshan are very reputable and will do their best to find exactly what you want. However, do allow 3 or 4 weeks for the model to be delivered (it’s an X3, after all).

2 questions:

- Can we custom order to change the interior color (I may be asking for too much, but I am a prospective X3 owner )

- Do the doors and trunk open on this 1/43 schuco model?

[ZGMF20A SF]

For the 1/43, the door and trunk can not be opened; only the hood openes. The 1/18 scale can open door, trunk, and hood.

As for the color, they are set. You can't order it like your real 1/1 X3. However, you can take the car apart and paint the interior. I did that on my 1/43 minichamp bmw before. As for the exterior, it is not possible to paint.

Get one and if you need help to paint the interior, i help you.

[Lotus7]

As ZGMF20A SF said, the doors and trunk do not open. Neither does the fuel filler door, which is a shame since mine ran out of petrol, and now it won't start!

Looks cooool!

Very expensive though...

[Lotus7]

Well... now we know what a X3 with 23 inch "spinners" looks like. Please pass the barf bag

However, the LED conversion is pretty cool, except they illuminated the inner "dummy on the 35i" headlights too.

Hey, I think I know one of those girls. Oh, wait, never mind . . .

That's a very nice build, I think the best I've seen.
It is so hard these days to find one, not even used on eBay. Do you have any stores that you could recommend? Thank you very much.
