This has got to be my absolute highlight of the month or maybe the whole Year so far.

It came as a surprise that BMW has released the set of four of their M Cars.
I can only speculate about the actual maker (Jadi/Paragon?).

In the set included are BMW 1M, M4, M5 and M6, easily the best versions of these cars in small scale, with M6 being the only example in small scale.

I am absolutely overwhelmed with these and i am so happy that BMW continues with their dealer exclusive models in 1:64.

With all respect due, but Hot Wheels, Matchbox and RMZ City versions can't stand the comparison with these four gems.

Had some fun shooting comparison pics. The comparison is not fair though.

This pic shows the best how cartoonish the Hot wheels casting is, compared to a high end 1:64 car.

The RMZ City BMW M5 does keep up the best vs the deal BMW.
Actually RMZ really makes some of the best budget diecast cars currently.

I had a feeling that HW got the roof completely wrong on theirs, and your comparison photos just about confirm it. Kind of a shame.

Really wish we had an RMZ importer in the US. I'm consistently impressed with their models, especially considering their price point. (Some of their larger-scale pullback models are available here - why not the 1/64s?!)

I just acquired this set from a local BMW dealer. They don't have it on stock nor have had it ever avalilable in their store, but a friend of mine who works there was able to order a set for me. They seem to be still available.

The cars are awesome. The quality for the price (especially at a BMW dealer) is exceptional

Very nice comparison show, thank you. I don't think anyone would be surprised concerning HW or Mbx, but to see the RMZ doing so well, and the dealer promos are stunning for detail and execution!
