BMW Art Cars!
I was just looking around for BMW Art Cars and came across BMWonline.
They seem to have quite an awesome collection at a reasonable price. Does anyone have any experience with these guys? The site looks like it's got a good collection of models generally but I'd like an opinion on the company. This is a link straight to the Art Cars: http://www.bmw-online.com/PIKE_e.asp...s&m=Automotive &ref=gng (I did think it was pretty cool that I could send myself a link straight to the catalog page I wanted) |

I have been collecting them for quite some time now. They are beautiful and
the larger versions are unbelievable in their details. I started buying them from www.jerseyparts.com as they discount them from the BMWonline prices. ............Chip.
