Bought these 2 lovelys today, couldn't believe my luck when the guy said he was selling them.
What do you think.?

First one is BMW 3.5CSL 24HR Sebring from 1975.
Drivers were Hans-Joachim Stuck and Sam Posey.

Detailing is one of the best I've seen on an 1/18 scale model.

Second one is the Minichamps Jagermeister E30 M3 DTM 1988.

Nice, pretty detailed and correct indeed, congrats! However, when it comes to details, it's about time CMC models start making BMW's. Not cheap, but really amazing, using metal where it should like with brake discs, etc.

Nice models!
That 3.5 CSL looks pretty real, I feel like firing it up and take it for a spin :launch

Dare I say, but that R/C M3 is specced with all sorts of goodies.
Faster motor, alloy wishbones, coilovers,alloy prop, and Alloy wheels too. :shake , to name a few.

Lets see the collectables then?

I might tint the windows too. I'd like some better wheels. Are they easy / cheap to buy?

Wheels are available from here Mark, and no plastic, alloys.
Should be about £15

I get all my spare parts from here.
