Looks pretty awful!!!!

I agree. With the painted out windows and white rims it looks like one of those pull-back toys.

 

[Wankel Ickx]

Er? But the windows were painted out and the hubs were, er, white.

Me? I loathe Beemers but this is straight on to the buy list 'cos it's not a Mitty and these Raid cars are a laugh and a half sans mugnut.

I have to admit to liking this model. I would probably weather it a little to take the starkness from the wheels and give it a little more realistic look, but as a model I think it has been nicely done.

I think it suffers as most Nincos do from a certain quality to the tampo. I can't say what it is, a sort of thinness, but it is their only weakness.

Often wish we could get Ninco chassis/handling with Hornby tampo on Fly bodies!

My first thoughts were - yukkkk!!!!!! It looks very plasticky, but sometimes photo's can be deceptive (sometimes in the opposite way - in pics, scalextric's new street mustang looks pretty good, but in the shops it looks very plasticky to me)

I have felt Nincos efforts at realistic tampo & finish have been improving - the rest of the RAID series (mitsus and rangers) and the silver porsche 911 look great!

 

[Difflock]

As a confirmed RAIDer, I'll certainly be having a look at one. Anyone know if Ninco are releasing other liveries?

It would have looked better had it got the silver split-rims from the Ford Ranger IMHO. However, it's great to see one in OFF-ROAD guise rather than sporting 25" alloys with elastic bands for tyres

The school run could now take place WITHOUT any tarmac in sight!!

I don't like it... although I like the 1:1 version very much!

Hope they bring out a less "toyish" version...
And if it's possible Ninco... bring out a road-version... to use as scenery and to cruise around in once in a while...

The X5 will also be released in the livery of the semi-works "X-Raid"-Team that competed successfully in the 2003 and 2004 Dakar. Colours are white and blue.

Nice photos on http://www.evotecshop.com/.

We had a little magnet out Paris-Dakar action last night at the club. What a laugh.

A definite buy this beemer!

 

[PeteN]

I wonder if they will bring out a street version with the kids and the dog in back?!?

 

[Jamie]

Has anyone bought one of these yet?

*tumbleweed*

I just wondered if it drives any differently to a Mitsubishi?

Ditto the comments regarding Raid cars, great fun to race with or without a magnet.

Jamie, I ran mine a little for the first time last night and would say that on first impressions she may be a bit more 'tippy' but that might just be down to green tyres (Barbour?).

I think I saw Scott venture out with one too but didn't get to ask him what he thought.

She was out and out fun, though! Just like the Pajero.

It still [/B]LOOKS like a pullback toy.
