Birthday present

wjones14 · 08-20-2015, 09:15 PM

Just got this in the mail today as a birthday present from my daughter. It's pricey at $45 + $10 shipping, but if you want one there doesn't seem to be many alternatives. The detail, packaging, and presentation are all first rate. Definitely happy with it.

She bought it from http://www.minibimmers.com/.

Nice. Is it right-hand or left-hand drive?

Steering wheel is on the left side. Looks like the automatic stick, black interior, with the brushed aluminum trim. I hadn't really looked close at the interior before you asked, but just noticed that all 4 seats have a thin vertical red stripe in the center.

1/43 is small. Just over 4 inches in length. The stand is about 3 inches by 6.5 inches.

At least you paid less than me :-|

I picked up one of these at the Welt when we got our 228i ED. I got the one in Melbourne Red.

Happy belated birthday and well done on raising a seemingly good daughter! Trying to make my son a car guy even though it's an expensive affliction, he points out Porsche's all the time and HID's on other bimmers
