Hahaha Ayie.....and congrats on the new addition. But to be frank, my opinion is this is a realy ugly-looking BMW. Don't know what they were planning to design originally, looks like a cross between a hatchback and an SUV. But great top-notch finishing and effect from Kyosho.

Ayie how much you paid for it?

gtmaniac · 02-04-2010, 10:24 PM

Agree, Karan.. it is not a looker. But I have a soft spot for anything wagon/estate/touring/avant/shooting brake.

Bandhav,

It is an old stock.. been at the shop more than a year already. Got it for Rs4,000 sharp.

^^If i am not wrong Kyosho is the make which is available with BMW showrooms as dealer editions. In case anyone of you are interested in procuring models like X5, 7series, M3, 650i, i can pick these for 10-15% discounts through some contact in BMW India HQ. So do let me know.

@gtmaniac: Nice pick. You guys are lucky to have the gift centre. Donno who sells Kyosho models in Bangalore.

Congrats Ayie. Thats a nice looking model. Like you, I love estates too but still to add one in the collection. I was hoping Nikhil sells the old Kyosho E class estates for 1500 or so cause thats how much I got the sedan for. Just for your information...we had a new member who joined SMC and her id was mrs_gtmaniac...so I guess she already knows now. Big Grin

Bandhav, I would love to have a BMW M5 by Kyosho. That is one car I need desperately to finish my performance sedans line up. Actually it will begin and end with that one BMW M5.

Thanks, Winston. Yeah.. I saw the Kyosho E-Class estate at the shop a while ago - poor car - sitting between cups & saucers gathering dust. The reason I'm not interested is because the rear door is not openable, plus the front one are doglegs (blame it to Autoart!).

I didn't notice it today. Maybe it is lurking somewhere in the shop waiting to be rescued by you.

By the way, mrs_gtmaniac is ok with the Kyosho today - since I convinced her with the 'one-car-per-month' promise. Well, at least until I got my fingerprints all over my 2000GT in few month's time..

Thanks Sid. It is an old stock actually. I am just 'rescuing' it before it rust-in-piece at the shop..
