DCN the manufacturer is new to us, but the model featured is not. This is their version of the 1:18, diecast metal, full 360 access BMW M3 GTR E46. If you remember back to the mid-2000s you would remember a series of livery versions from Minichamps, that even included some “presentation” or fantasy colours. Since Minichamps has all but abandoned full access replicas this maybe isn’t a bad thing!
Product# TBD
Well, I don’t have the Minichamps M3 E46 GTR that exactly in mind right now, but it seems to me that this is the Minichamps model. – Perhaps they purchased the mould?
I have the MC model here and this one seems to be at least a little different. Pre-ordered the one with NFS livery, going to be interesting to see.
Yeah, for me has the same tool,
I just checked my MC BMW M3. The meshes in the back of the wheels arches are just stickers, here they look like actual seperate parts. Might be mased on the MC M3 GTR, but there seem to be at least some differences.
A dream come true! I recently bought the silver Minichamps one as a stand-in. Is it available for pre-order anywhere?
Not sure where or who is DCN dealer.
Rare118modelcars on Facebook or Instagram offer them for pre-order. 170€ for the silver, 200€ for the blue/silver one. they are located in Portugal though, so if you’re from the US or Asia, there might be better choices.
Thanks, pre-ordered! I couldn’t for the life of me find this anywhere, except a site called Small Ants Model, which I actually stumbled across a couple weeks ago but didn’t know if it was legit. It doesn’t mention DCN on that page but it looks like the same model (pre-order sold out there, regardless).
Glad I could help! Kept an eye out for this ever since I saw first pictures, I’m really looking forward to it!
Hi TOM,
did you get yours yet? How does it compare to the MC?
thanks
I’ve been looking forward to this product and it’s finally released
