Scale miniature model of the G87 M2

Mani59 · 10-11-2023, 03:29 PM

Hi all,

Following on from my thread here of the G80-G83 M3/M4 scale miniature models, I thought I would let you all know that there will soon be a 1/18 scale G87 M2 made available.

Some photos are below (pre-production).
It will be available from the end of January 2024.

Looks cool...just has the wrong wheels.

I see it has the cf buckets...will production of these cars also be delayed?

Squidget · 10-11-2023, 04:51 PM

Subbed to the thread, thanks!

apez · 10-11-2023, 05:52 PM

Looks great!

Sculpin · 10-11-2023, 07:33 PM

That's almost perfect. Hopefully they offer the bicolor wheels but if not I can just paint them myself. Thanks for the update!

Im down for one as long as they arent an arm and a leg.

I am pretty sure that another colour with a different wheel option will be released in the future since they very rarely just release 1 edition.

I am not in the USA so I cannot say for sure but think it will be around the $150 USD mark

Smilodon · 10-12-2023, 07:28 PM

Yeah, I was hoping for something like this. Hope I get the opportunity to get one come January.

Buketz · 10-13-2023, 10:45 AM

I’m going to wait for the xdrive version

It will be released soon

Here is the photo from today at the Nuremberg Toy Fair.

Carefree · 01-30-2024, 03:29 PM

Already made arrangements to have mine wrapped.

I am sure another colour will be released. The same model manufacturer did release a F22 M235i in red so you never know!

If another colour is released, I'll post it in this thread.

Bumpinjeep · 01-30-2024, 05:16 PM

So how do we order one?

Amazing. I need one in BG please!
I’m pretty close to having a 1/18 for every ‘important’ car that I’ve owned; close to the trim and color for the car it represents.

So far I have in 1/18 in correct color:

Mk2 VW GTI

Mk4 VW R32

Incorrect color and slightly off trim:

Mk4 Jetta

Mk4 era Beetle (Had a Turbo S, RSI is as close as I can get for that…)

Need:

Mk3 Audi TTS (they make a TTRS, close enough, haha)

G87 BMW M2

Mk2 VW GTI

Mk6 VW GTI

Mk7 VW GTI

Mk6 GLI (haven’t seen one made….)

1990 Honda CRX

weopm · 01-31-2024, 04:41 AM

If you want an accurate replica of your real car, don't miss out on the upcoming (March) pre-order opportunity of a 1:18 Minichamps version, made-to-order!

I am not in the USA so I cannot give many details but you can try ordering one from your local hobby shop or failing that, do try eBay.com once they are released

The Mk2, 6 and 7 VW Golf GTI's and Honda CRX are all available in 1/18 scale (made by Norev).

I am not so familiar with my VW's but is this the GLI you mention?

Thanks! That’s a normal Jetta, but it’s close enough I guess.

Another shot of the G87 M2 with the G20 Alpina B/D?3.

sammyj · 02-01-2024, 09:12 PM

Looking forward to the custom version so I can get it w/o the cf package

jfried1016 · 02-02-2024, 04:43 PM

That G87 M2 is super sick. How can we order them? NVM found a site to pre-order from!
