maistio makes the x, z and i think they make the 7 series

[ThatRoundHeadedKid]

they do not.

If you're willing to spend money, Kyosho makes the best BMW models, the make all the models in the lin-up. Paul's Model Art or Minichamps makes all the models in the line-up as well. But Kyosho makes the best 1/18 scaled ones for I have the 745i, the 645Ci, the X5, the Z8, the new 3-series, the 545i and soon to come the M5. They also have a contract with BMW as being the official diecast modeler for BMW.
