BMW GROUP CLASSIC COLLECTION

A couple of Group 4 M1s sit close by. This one was sponsored by the city of Munich.

Hey another racer that I used to have as an A/FX slot car!

Speaking of miniatures. There were cabinet after cabinet filled with all manner of die casts.

Some of the models also appear to be one-off custom items too. There was practically a miniature of every single race car from the collection present.

The next hall over was mostly devoted to open wheel race cars. There were plenty of Formula 2 cars on one side of the room...

... With an assortment of F1 cars facing them.

BMW's collaboration with Williams is well presented...

... Including the LMR sports car. On an aside... for the last ten years I've always thought the words on this Art Car were done in Blue, not Chrome. We modeled this car for several PC game mods back in my Virtual_LM days and each time incorrectly coloured the letters as blue.... they must have been reflecting the sky on the reference photos I was using. Odd.
