Most of the juicy stuff has already been spoken about by the various outlets plugging the books. But it is a great collection of facts, photos, renders and drawings that collates a lot of stuff that's otherwise only seen sporadically as second or third hand information on the web though.

No paid marketing. I really liked the books and found some interesting topics. So I kept writing about them. Some I knew about, some didn't.

Thanks for bringing it to people's attention .

I'm sure the blog posts have done pretty well with topics like the i16, I wonder if there'd be any mileage in reaching out to Edition Weiss-Blau to see if you could shine a spotlight on them.

I just got a set of Style 37s for my E39. I will pair them with a set of Bridgestone Potenza Sport, as despite being a Michelin fan, I have yet to hear a good word for the Pilot Sport 5.

I also got a set of new door sills, a set of E38 interior door handles from solid metal and with LED lighting, a set of shadow line window trims and half a set of Technical Graphite interior trim. Also, I installed a leather handbrake handle and upgraded the brakes with the 324 mm front disks and ventilated rears from the 525i and up, since the 520i came with the brakes from a 1.1l Peugeot 206 and I've managed to cook them quite a few times now. Oh, and I also got a new spare wheel, which can fit around the new brakes.

Nice, so you are re-starting your 1/18 model car collection?

In the industrie promo miniature market. Reproductions of German Street Cars recently have been poorly represented unless you want around 50 G-Klasses.
Whether it was the pandemic or just no interest. The pickings have been relatively slim.

The last physical 1/18 I purchased before the introduction of the MINICHAMPS M3 and M4’s was the GT Spirit M5 CS and Norev 3.0 CSL in 1/18 scale.
The same goes for 1/43 scale, the 1/43 M3 and M4 and the TSM M3 Touring. And a Norev Renault 5.

Things are picking up with MINICHAMPS announcement of a multitude of modern BMWs.
Which is welcomed as the manufacturers that have their program switched on are Volvo and Porsche you get their industrie promos almost straight away.

The Alfa Romeo looks superb in detail and quality. Some high end models are not worth the high end prices.
The iScale 1/44 Mercedes-Benz E-Klasse W214 has just arrived.

Quite the opposite my dear sir, for these may be invaluable lessons on what not to do for vehicle design.

Why are we still talking about BMW Design from the early 2000’s? When no other manufacturer is being remembered for their design phase in such BMW design is looked upon as iconic in transforming automotive product design to a level where even other factions took an interest in automotive design.

BMW design is looked upon as iconic in transforming automotive product design to a level where even other factions took more than a passing an interest in automotive design.
Here was the Architecture,here was the furniture and it was used on an automobile.

When other design mediums talked automotive design they talked about BMW. Chris Bangle had the ability to transverse across all mediums of design whether in admiration or cooperation.
