About the BMW 635CSi E24 BMW Italia #1 U. Grano / H. Kelleners Spa 1983 Minichamps 1:18

TL;DR: Minichamps' 1:18 diecast BMW 635CSi E24 reproduces BMW Italia's #1 entry from Spa 1983, driven by Umberto Grano and Hans-Joachim Kelleners. Diecast construction captures the E24's long-hood coupe silhouette wrapped in period touring car livery and full racing aero pieces.

BMW Italia ran works-adjacent touring car efforts across Europe in the early 1980s, and this Spa-liveried 635CSi documents one specific team's approach to the E24's competition career.

BMW Italia's Livery on a Racing E24

BMW Italia was a prominent semi-works touring car outfit through the early-to-mid 1980s, running the E24-generation 635CSi with the aerodynamic add-ons, wider wheels, and roll-cage interior that Group A-adjacent regulations of the period allowed. Minichamps' diecast captures the car's long hood and coupe roofline, proportions the 635CSi shared with its road-going sibling, now wrapped in BMW Italia's team livery with clean, legible sponsor and number-board graphics. Umberto Grano, a driver closely associated with BMW's touring car efforts through this era, and co-driver Hans-Joachim Kelleners shared the #1 car at Spa.

The 635CSi's Role in Early-1980s Touring Cars

The 635CSi filled BMW's flagship touring car role through much of the early 1980s, before the smaller, more agile E30 3 Series eventually took over that competitive mantle later in the decade. Racing the larger, heavier 635CSi against the touring car field of its era required genuine engineering effort to keep the coupe competitive, and BMW Italia's involvement reflects how important national touring car championships were to the brand's motorsport presence outside its home market.
