Ottomobile BMW M3 Lightweight
Ottomobile BMW M1 Group B Tour de Corse
The two together:
Ottomobile's spotty quality strikes again! The M3 had some weird issues. The front wheel gap is too great while the rear has too little wheel gap. The rear plate isn't sitting in the correct position. Also, taillights are too dark in color. The M1 didn't suffer from the same issues, but the nose just has a bit of sticky residue on it, as if someone with sticky hands at the factory touched it but didn't clean it off.
Once again, cool models, but these honestly didn't really live up to my expectations.
Paragon BMW M5 (F10) Dealer Edition
Quality is nothing to write home about. Interior looks incredibly cheap. Feels kind of like a cheap Maisto, but at least all the doors, hood and trunk opens. I wish official BMW Miniatures had the detail and quality of AutoArts of yore.
However, I now have 3 of the 5 generations of the M5 (E34, E39, F10). One of my (fairly) near future goal is to collect a version of every single generation of the M5. Of these, the rarest and the holy grail is going to be AutoArt's E28 M5.
Long term goal is to collect a model of every BMW M Car.
GT Spirit Porsche 911 Carrera RS (964)
I'm really impressed by GT Spirit's quality. The paint looks excellent, color is correct, clear coat looks great and has virtually zero defects. There aren't any weird splotches, or overdrawn lines like you often get on Otto models. The wheels look great, and looks just the right size with the tires and in relation to how big the car is and how it sits. The model feels substantial despite it being resin. It just looks and feels very well made. This model was a big surprise; I'm really pleased with it and is easily one of the most displayable models that I have.
