About the BMW 700 LS Red Maxichamps 1:43

TL;DR: The Maxichamps BMW 700 LS 1:43 in red is a zinc-alloy diecast of the compact rear-engine sedan from 1960. Its body is a sealed one-piece casting, so proportions and paint carry the model. It suits collectors tracing BMW's small-car years at an accessible price tier.

Long before BMW was known for sport sedans, it built small, practical cars with the engine at the back. The 700 was the most successful of them, and the LS is its four-seat sedan form. Maxichamps reproduces it at 1:43 as a sealed casting with an unmistakably vintage presence.

Maxichamps BMW 700 LS 1:43 in Red

Small-Car Proportions in Metal

The listing gives this model no opening parts, so the body is a single sealed shell and the detail lives on its outside. A 700 sedan has a very particular shape: a short, rounded body, a low nose with no grille opening of the usual kind because the engine sits behind, and a tidy cabin with thin pillars. A sealed casting keeps those soft curves smooth, and the red paint highlights them under a lamp. Check that the nose sits at the right height and the tail drops away neatly; those two relationships tell you whether the casting understood the car.

Accessible Tier, Practical Trade-Offs

Maxichamps sits at an accessible tier, so expect zinc-alloy weight and a durable paint base, with simplified small parts such as trim, lights, and interior. That is a sensible fit for a subject whose original appeal was affordability. Zinc alloy keeps the casting stable over years of display, though thin details such as bumper edges are a little heavier than on the real car. For vintage models in this scale, buyers generally accept that exchange in return for a lower price and a sturdy piece.

The 700 and BMW's Turnaround

A Rear-Engine BMW That Sold

The 700 line arrived at the end of the 1950s and used a rear-mounted, air-cooled two-cylinder boxer engine with roots in BMW's motorcycle experience. It was affordable and economical, and its sales success is widely credited with helping BMW stabilize financially before the company moved upmarket in the following decade. The LS is the sedan of the range, a more family-oriented sibling to the coupe that preceded it. That context makes a modest-looking car significant to anyone interested in how BMW became the brand it is now.

Shelf Role

On a BMW shelf, a 700 marks the starting point before sport sedans and roadsters arrived. At 1:43, it stands beside later models at a consistent scale, and the difference in size, layout, and attitude is the whole story. Red gives a vintage cabinet some energy, standing out among the neutral colors that fill many classic displays.

Judging and Displaying the 700 LS

Compare stance and wheel fit against period photographs, then check badge crispness and the glazing, which should sit flush. A lamp at a shallow angle shows how the red paint handles the curved panels. Keep the model away from direct sunlight, dust it with a soft brush, and hold it by the base. Order it if you want a sealed, characterful vintage piece that adds depth to a BMW timeline without a premium price.
