Does anyone know if any of the scale model companies make an E39 M5 I have a bit of a model car collection going and it all started with wanting a model of the M5 now I have about 20 cars but still no M5, it seems that no one makes it I find it hard to beleive that they allready have the new 7 but still no M5 not even any E39 5 series. Iam preferable looking for a 1:18 scale or bigger ? any help would be appreciated.

I find it hard to believe as well, I thought Minichamps would have something but they don't.

There's even a Z8 at 1/12 (which looks good enough to drive!) complete with the leather interior etc. But no M5!

When you open this page, take a look at the Mercedes above it, talk about detail.

I found a 1:87 and a 1:43 (I think those are the scales). Anyway, I also tried looking without success.

The 1:87 I found on eBay and the other was a Christmas gift.

If anyone can help us out, that would be great? I'm also insearch of other M5's especially the 1:18.

I have looked around alot for a M5 model, but could not find one larger then 1:43.
I have talked to people who have told me that a bigger M5 model just does not exist.
I hope they are wrong, but from the difficulty I and others have had, I am starting to believe them.

It would be great having a little M5 standing besides the computer screen

..............any new infomation regarding a model car of the M5 are most welcome

Best regards,

Mike-S.

I bought a 1:43 scale titanium silver M5 in a plastic case from my BMW dealer, but would love to find a 1:25 model, but haven't had any luck.

I've had Autobooks, ( the largest model and auto bookstore in LA) search for one, but no luck so far.
