A real pristine model! Nice paint, no sunroof, euro side markers and a mint interior!

Wow that's clean! Did you have to do any house mods to get it inside? I'm thinking maybe just remove the mirrors and it will fit thru French doors? Lol

Did you see the Top Gear where the dude built a car in his kitchen, then had to remove a wall to get it out?

It is very detailed, I'm quite impressed. It's the Autoart model; 1:18th scale (about 10" long).

It wasn't until I got to the engine picture that I realized it was a model. Funny how I didn't notice the chair or boxes of envelopes on the table until I looked again.

Good looking model! Make sure you test the tension on the timing belt!

For me the giveaway was the front bumper plate space. Otherwise perfect model..

Few days ago I was looking at bmw 6 and it was the other way around, the car was real but looked like a model

Wow - great model! (And some nice art, too, btw.)

Wonder if there is any chance they make a S2 in red...
