Here is a "dark grey" F87 and you can get creative with painting the wheels https://livecarmodel.com/products/1-...car-model.html |

I received my model today.Same issue with the brake callipers location.The carbon fiber roof is also very basic.It’s like a matte finish and you really can’t see the carbon fiber.You can see it in pictures but it is very subtle.The rest of the design details look good.It would have been nice to have a generic German white licence plate like they did on the original M2 model.This one is just plain black.The Misano Blue color looks good.

It looks great. I got a notification saying my delivery has slipped a month. So two months to go for me.

Mine was October but I've not got any notifications. Maybe by then, they'll fix the wheels and brakes issues

I got a similar email about a month ago saying from August to October Sadly, they won't be doing a M4CSL - apparently BMW refused to grant them a licence for it. It makes me wonder, if BMW is going to release it's own version at some point and charge an arm and a leg for it

However, having checked those range, they only have the G82 M4 GT3 in their range

Yes i had sent Max an e mail and he also told me that.What does that actually mean?They appear to be in the correct location on the M2C model.I really don’t care that much anyway.It’s just a model.The rest of it looks OK.

In that case it's probably just an error that got propegated through the design. At the end of the day they are only $100 so I'm just leaving it alone. It's still a fun little model to sit on the shelf.

Here's a photo of the M2C model. I got one in the same spec as my old M2C. Blue brakes.

My Minichamps M2CS arrived today. I snapped a few comparison photos with the GT Spirit version. Several things that jump right out when looking at both. Of course, there is the notorious brakes issue, but the GT Spirit version has more apparent decals on the brakes. They are also different hues of blue (con't say which one is correct because my car is BSM). The GT Spirit is lighter blue with more metallic flakes than the Minichamps one. Also, the GT Spirit version has just a black roof while the Minichamps one has a faint version of a CF weave (albeit not the right pattern). They are both flawed in different ways, but either one is still nice to have (better than not having one).

I also have both the GT Spirit and Minichamps in Misano blue. They're both darker than the real car. The GT Spirit has M stripes and the M2 emblem on the seats, it also has better detail in the grille. In both the upper and lower you can see the silver radiators through the grilles.

The detail is somewhat simplified with the Minichamps one and the shape of the headlights is a bit off on the corners. But, that's a holdover from the earlier M2 diecast models. It's a mass-produced model after all, so perfection is not something I would expect.
My BSM arrived today, so I swapped the chassis to get the right wheel color to match my car. I looked at swapping the brake rotors around but decided against it to avoid risking damaging the attachment points. I think it looks good. |

I received mine too. Misano blue with black wheels. I was bummed as I thought I picked the gold wheels to match my car.
Oh well, it’s good enough for the book case. |
