About the BMW 635 CSi E24 Diamant Black Metallic AUTOart 1:18
TL;DR: AUTOart's 1:18 diecast BMW 635 CSi E24 in Diamant Black Metallic is a zinc-alloy replica of BMW's 1988 flagship coupe, with opening doors, hood, and trunk. A detail-rich piece suited to collectors building an E24 or grand tourer display.
The E24 6 Series carried BMW's grand touring ambitions through the 1980s with a long, elegant coupe silhouette, and AUTOart's diecast replica gives that shape functional panels to match its detail-driven reputation.
Diecast Weight and Opening Panels on the E24 Coupe
With doors, hood, and trunk confirmed as opening, this 635 CSi rewards handling in a way a sealed body cannot: the hinges hold their position with genuine resistance, and lifting the hood reveals an engine bay laid out to match the E24's long-nose proportions. Zinc-alloy diecast construction is what makes that kind of articulation durable over years of handling, since the metal shell tolerates repeated opening and closing without the fatigue a lighter resin body might show. AUTOart has built its reputation on this level of functional detail across its diecast range, and the Diamant Black Metallic finish on this 635 CSi shows a genuine flake structure under a display lamp, distinct from the flatter tone a simpler paint job produces. The tradeoff for opening panels is a shade wider door-gap tolerance than a sealed showpiece would carry, but the payoff is a model that invites actual handling rather than only viewing.
The E24's Standing Among 1980s BMW Grand Tourers
The 635 CSi represented BMW's answer to Mercedes' contemporary coupes, a long-wheelbase, high-speed cruiser rather than a corner-carving sports car, and it holds a respected place in BMW's grand touring lineage precisely for that different priority. Displayed beside an E30 or E28-generation BMW, the E24's longer roofline and more formal proportions make the model range's breadth visible at a glance. The opening features add genuine value for a collector who enjoys posing hoods and doors rather than committing to one static angle, and the diecast build means that flexibility holds up over repeated handling. At its price point, this sits in solidly mid-tier diecast territory, offering real functional detail without reaching toward limited-run resin pricing.
