About the BMW 635 CSi E24 Red Dealer Edition Minichamps 1:18
TL;DR: Minichamps' 1:18 diecast BMW 635 CSi E24 in Red reproduces a dealer-edition version of BMW's early-1980s flagship coupe, the road-going platform that also underpinned a successful European touring car program. Diecast construction gives this understated grand tourer opening doors and hood.
Away from the touring car grids where its racing versions competed at places like Spa and in European championships, the E24 6 Series served a quieter role as BMW's flagship road-going coupe through the early 1980s, and this dealer edition represents that side of the car's story.
Diecast Detail on a Road-Going Flagship
Minichamps casts this 635 CSi in zinc alloy diecast, with doors and hood opening on functioning hinges to reveal a simplified but presentable cabin and engine bay. The Red finish holds consistent color across the E24's long, low bonnet and slim greenhouse, proportions that made the coupe look genuinely elegant next to boxier rivals of its era. Dealer editions like this one were typically produced in modest numbers for showroom promotion rather than mass retail, which gives this diecast a slightly different collecting angle.
The Dealer Edition Behind BMW's Touring Car Success
The same E24 platform that underpinned this road car also formed the basis for the 635CSi's competitive run in European touring car and endurance racing through the mid-1980s, driven by teams like Schnitzer and Brun Motorsport in liveries far removed from this understated red road version. Dealer editions existed to put BMW's flagship in front of prospective buyers, a promotional rather than competitive purpose.
Placed beside a touring car version of the same E24 body, this dealer edition shows the road-going starting point behind that racing success, a quieter, more elegant counterpart to the racetrack versions.
