Anyone have a 1:18 scale 33x diecast model?

I've been looking for a 1:18 diecast of a 33x? I saw a few on eBay, but they're pretty expensive. I know the dealership sells them too, but I imagine theyre pretty expensive there.

Anyone have one? Anyone mod'd their diecast? Care to share a few pics of it?

Even BMW doesn't offer a 33x die cast (E90). I did find some too from reputable brands, but very expensive.

Kyosho

I got an E90 330i 1:18 scale model (Kyosho) for 28 bucks. Quality was good. Search the net - I don't remember where I bought it from.

It was actually Welly, not KYOSHO

I got one to match my Montego E93 when I got it and one to match my AW X5 after I got it.

Ebay is the best price I have found, Kyosho are definitely the good ones to get - nice quality and lot's of functionality. $80 - $90 seems to be the best prices on them shipped that I have found.

My brother gave me one in 12/06 for XMAS, same month I got my car. I posted something like, "Got another E92 for Christmas!" People were like WTF? Back then, there were 2 E92's at every dealership, one auto, one stick, neither for sale, for demo only. Wonder if it'll be like that when the next coupe comes out.

They Kyosho models are amazingly detailed. I was really impressed. They go for around $89 + shipping.

I bought a Kyosho 1:18 E93 335i in Titanium Silver. I wanted the 328i, so it would completely match my car, but no one makes a model of those (the 335i is close enough).

My gf just bought me a Kyosho 1:18 E92 M3 in Silverstone II in order to hold me over until Oct when I hope to pick up the life-size version.
