About the BMW 635 CSi E24 BMW Italia #4 R. Ravaglia / G. Berger 24 Hours of Spa 1984 Minichamps 1:18
TL;DR: Minichamps' 1:18 diecast BMW 635 CSi E24 recreates the BMW Italia #4 entry driven by Roberto Ravaglia and Gerhard Berger at the 1984 24 Hours of Spa. Zinc-alloy build with factory-affiliated livery, sized for Group A and endurance touring displays.
BMW Italia's factory-backed touring car program gave the marque a strong national presence, and pairing a young Gerhard Berger, later a Formula One race winner, with veteran Roberto Ravaglia made this entry notable well beyond its Spa result.
Ravaglia, Berger, and the BMW Italia Program
Roberto Ravaglia would go on to become one of BMW's most successful touring car drivers of the decade, and this Spa 24 Hours campaign came early in that trajectory. Gerhard Berger's involvement is a genuine point of interest for motorsport historians, since he would move into Formula One within a few years and become a race winner at that level. BMW Italia ran the 635 CSi with factory-level attention to preparation, and Spa's demanding 24-hour format tested the E24's durability as much as its outright pace. The livery here reflects BMW Italia's own branding, distinct from the German factory team's colors, giving collectors a specific national chapter of the model's Group A story.
Diecast Build Quality at This Scale
The zinc-alloy body has genuine weight, immediately distinguishable from lighter plastic toy construction at a similar footprint. Doors typically open on functional hinges, exposing a simplified roll-caged cockpit true to the car's endurance-racing specification. Livery graphics are tampo-printed, holding crisper detail over years of display than adhesive decals would. Panel gaps run a touch wider than sealed resin construction, an honest characteristic of hinged diecast rather than a flaw specific to this piece. The E24's long coupe lines scale convincingly at 1:18.
A Notable Pairing for a BMW Motorsport Shelf
This entry rewards collectors interested in driver history as much as race results, sitting well alongside other BMW Italia and Group A subjects from the same era.
