About the BMW 745i E23 Burgundy Red Metallic Touring Modelcars 1:18

TL;DR: The Touring Modelcars BMW 745i E23 1:18 is a diecast replica of BMW's first 7 Series flagship, finished in Burgundy Red Metallic for 1984. The model has opening panels, a heavy zinc-alloy build and a formal 1980s executive-sedan profile, suited to collectors of period BMW and German luxury sedans.

Before the 7 Series became a rolling technology showcase, the E23 had a plainer job: sit above the 5 Series and look the part. Touring Modelcars' BMW 745i E23 1:18 gives that brief a metal body and opening panels, in a Burgundy Red Metallic that suits the sedan's quiet authority.

Zinc Alloy Build and Opening Panels

Diecast gives a large sedan the weight it deserves, and in 1:18 that mass registers the moment you lift it from the foam. The model is built with opening panels, which add inspection angles that a sealed casting cannot offer, and they should move with a firm, defined feel rather than a loose swing. The cost of that movement is slightly wider shut lines, a normal feature of hinged diecast. Treat the panels gently and never force them past their travel. A large sedan with long panels rewards patience, because the hinges bear more load than on a compact car.

Burgundy Red Metallic and Period Detail

A burgundy metallic suits an executive sedan of this era, with a restrained depth that avoids the brightness of a sports-car red. Under a direct lamp, the flake should sit evenly across the long flanks and the hood, with a gloss that reads rich rather than flat. Examine the grille, badges and window trim for sharp edges, and check that the glazing sits flush. The wheels should be correctly proportioned for a formal sedan, with tire sidewalls tall enough to look period-correct rather than modern.

The E23 745i in BMW's Executive Line

First 7 Series, Turbocharged Flagship

The E23 was the first car to wear the 7 Series name, and it ran from the late 1970s into the mid-1980s. The 745i sat at the top of that range with a turbocharged six-cylinder engine, giving BMW a flagship that matched its character to its luxury aims. For collectors, the E23 is a clean starting point for a 7 Series lineage: the same nameplate that now spans modern luxury technology began here, with a squared-off shape and a formal stance.

Rivals on the Period Shelf

The natural period rival is Mercedes-Benz's S-Class of the same era, and displaying the two together highlights a difference in tone: the E23 looks lower and sportier, the Mercedes more formal. That contrast is the quiet strength of collecting executive sedans, where the story is in proportion and restraint rather than speed. A model like this fills a gap on most shelves, which skew toward sports cars and racing machines, and it brings variety without sacrificing the heritage a BMW fan expects.

Shelf, Care and Collecting Fit

At about 27 cm, the 745i fills a standard shelf and needs depth for its long body. Diecast with opening panels offers more mechanical interest than a sealed piece, with looser tolerances as the price of movement. Dust it with a soft brush, keep it out of strong sun, and open the panels sparingly. It pairs well with other 1980s German sedans and with later 7 Series models for a generational line. Collectors weighing a purchase should consider whether period luxury is a theme they want to pursue, then buy accordingly.
