Re: M3 (E30) by Beemax !!!

I pre-ordered 2 kits, and I don't even like BMWs. LOL
(E30 M3 is one of few exceptions)

Re: M3 (E30) by Beemax !!!

Finally got my hands on the kit today. Here are the photos:

Box







Contents









The proportion of the body is miles better than Fujimi’s offering.



Decal sheet. Really surprised that they used gold foil-like decals for the Warsteiner logos.



Instruction





And finally, the PE set.



Can’t wait to start building this kit!

Cheers,

Looks good and cool box livery. Would be great to build Patrick Snijers Bastos sponsored European Rally Championship M3 or Marc Duez Prodrive car to name a couple.

You would need to modify the front and rear spoilers.

Very nice. Can't wait to get mine. Is it official released yet? Mine was preordered but haven't heard from the seller on when.

Looks promising! The box and the instructions are beautiful. There will be interesting to compare the body and the wheels with my own.

Re: M3 (E30) by Beemax !!!

I just started working on my. well just the hood. I notice all the body parts are grainy like orange peel. Are we suppose to sand that off or leave it? or what is reason they made it like that? underside of the hood is very smooth.

Re: M3 (E30) by Beemax !!!

I have found some mistakes in the kit.
The most noticeable mistake is the wrong inclination and the shape of the windscreen.




The second big mistake is the wheel size. This should be 18", but we see 19" in the kit.
My 18" wheel is on the left.


And so on.
Nevertheless, this kit is 100 times better than the Fujimi's one.
