I seen this one at walmart today and it was an instant must have. Wheels, paint, tampo work, and the body style all come together very nicely on this one!

I have the first release, but that Castrol issue is far nicer. My only complaint attains to the casting itself--that banner on the windshield should be printed--not cast as part of the roof.

I had to grab this one. I've got all three releases so far, with RRs and the ugly blue windshield replaced with a proper one on the black #16 car. Finally some Germans to challenge my Camaros, Mustangs, Javelins, etc.

Mattel is doing a great job on these BMW models. All tree releases so far are looking very similar with the real ones.

I've got a few extras of this, I might need to convert one to 3.5 CSL spec with the big rear wheels.

Great find! I had to buy these both, the black and white, when they appeared. It is my favourite rally car.

the black front light is more visible than the white version.
hm..., since the real car in castrol show in black, maybe there will be no red/ white castrol.

To be fussy, they weren't really used in rally, mostly in touring car racing; 3.0 CSLs won the European Touring Car Championship in 1973, and every year from 1975 to 1979. Modified versions were built for IMSA GT Series and Group 5 (3.5 CSL).

Ford Escorts were the car to have in rally at the time.

@Coldpopcarl - The #68 and #16 are the 2016 releases, the #7 is this year's.
