About the BMW 745i E23 Agate Green Metallic Touring Modelcars 1:18
TL;DR: The Touring Modelcars BMW 745i E23 in Agate Green Metallic is a 1:18 diecast of the 1984 executive sedan, with opening parts for closer inspection. Zinc alloy supplies the weight, and the deep metallic green gives the E23's formal shape more character. It suits an 1980s BMW lineage or a green-themed shelf.
Dark metallic green is a color that rewards patience. In flat light it looks almost black, and under a lamp it opens up into depth. Touring Modelcars' BMW 745i E23 in Agate Green Metallic at 1:18 puts that behavior on a tall, upright 1980s sedan, built in diecast with opening parts.

A Green That Changes With the Light
Agate Green Metallic sits at the dark end of the green range, and its metallic flake is what gives it life. Move the model under a lamp and the flat panels of the E23 pick up lighter tones, while the shadowed lower body stays deep. Diecast suits this finish, since paint sits on a hard metal shell and gloss reads even and rich. Check the flake distribution across the roof and bonnet, where an uneven finish shows first, and look at the chrome-effect trim against the dark paint. The slim pillars and tall glasshouse are signatures of the E23, so make sure the window frames stay thin and neat.
Opening Parts and Metal Weight
This model carries opening parts, and the metal body gives them a reassuring solidity. The hinged panels swing on metal hinges and shut with a firm, dense feel, something lighter materials do not offer. It adds an inspection angle that a sealed casting cannot, and it lets you judge how carefully the body is assembled. The compromise is that moving parts need slightly wider gaps than a one-piece body, so the seams are more visible than on resin. Operate the panels gently, and display the model closed to keep the lines clean.
The E23 and Its Turbocharged Flagship
BMW's First 7 Series in Context
The E23 launched in 1977 as the first BMW to carry the 7 Series name, and Paul Bracq led its design. It combined the marque's trademark nose with a tall, airy cabin, and the 745i served as the turbocharged flagship. Its natural period rival was the Mercedes-Benz S-Class, and the two cars let collectors compare how Munich and Stuttgart saw the luxury sedan. A 1984 model year places this replica in the mature part of the E23's life, when the design had settled and the line was well established.
What Zinc Alloy Delivers at This Tier
Zinc-alloy diecast offers weight, stability over decades and trim that survives handling, at the price of slightly looser tolerances and softer edges than cast resin. On the E23, a car built from flat panels and straight lines, those trade-offs suit the subject. Expect a fully painted finish and applied small parts, and judge the model on its stance, its glazing, and the depth of the paint, not on the razor edges that resin favors.
Giving the Green 745i a Place
At 1:18 the E23 runs roughly 27 cm in length, so a standard shelf holds it with room to spare. It fits an 1980s executive-sedan group, a BMW lineage display, or a green-themed row. Keep it clear of direct sun, dust it with a soft brush, and treat the opening parts with care. Next to the Arctic Blue version of the same casting, the Agate Green is the darker and more characterful choice. For a collector ready to buy a classic BMW sedan at 1:18, it is a handsome alternative to the usual silver and blue.
