Looks really nice, need bigger pics. Looks like Evo 2 2.5 car. 

Just when I was hoping for another model of an old US car that 1:1 isn't worth price of top end overhaul on the S14 in the M3. Darn.:P

Please forgive my ignorance, but who is Beemax? Are they a high volume injected manufacturer or low volume resin house? Where can one get their offerings?

They are a injected molded model kit company located in Macau China,  you can find their offerings at various different online retailers like Hobby Link Japan, Hobby Search, Hobby Easy, Spot Model, and many many more, as well as Ebay.

I haven't posted in forever but had to join in just to LMAO at that comment :D. I know what you're referring to and I don't understand the appeal of the malaise-era Olds, etc., either. THIS, on the other hand, is a car I actually wanted IRL. Would you consider slapping an M88/S38 in there? I ordered an extra, just to do that-- in the name of reproducing something like this:

My thought was to build an informal, street-and-track-day car using the engine that Fujimi has already given us in the old M635csi kits. The coolness factor supercedes any reservations I'd have about modding it.

Ironically I've got four of the Fujimi M3s in various stages of completion right now and have spent a fair amount of time browsing the M3 FAQ on the 'BMW Registry'.

Looking at the Beemax offering it absolutely destroys what Fujimi offers, which is a very simple curbside with a molded chassis pan...granted it was originally designed as a 'mover' with a motor and lights in it (which is one of the kits I'm building now sans motor but it will have the lights in it).  I may have to get one of the Beemax kits.

Not only is that mess a curbside, it's also sized to fit a generic chassis plate that it shares with the Mercedes 190E and a few other kits, and is general is a wildly misproportioned thing that is one of Fujimi's worst efforts in terms of body.  Beemax can render it obsolete and after these M3s sell like proverbial pancakes, they can go back and make the racing version of the 190E as a companion kit.  They're doing that with the AE92 Corolla Levin Gr. A car they're doing next that was the biggest competition to the the '88/'89 Civic EF3 Gr. A kit they released earlier.

LOL.

Still, if a kit is fine with bumpy rotors (C7R) per some here, they'd think the Fujimi M3 was just fine, and we're beating a dead horse. :)

I tried to use a 325 to make a replica of a girlfriend's car. So sad. Palmer of the East for a few things. 

These are going to be awesome. Evo 2 and Sport Evos. Then 2.5-16 Evos. For $30-ish? Cool.

I got this kit not to long ago. And was wondering if anybody knows of anyone making a S14 for it or plans on making one for the missing engine in the kit?

Hobby Design said they plan to release an engine kit late last year.  Maybe a push on their Facebook page will speed up the process.
