About the BMW 635 CSi E24 Gubin Sport #23 E. Strycek DPM Winner 1984 Minichamps 1:18

TL;DR: This Minichamps 1:18 diecast BMW 635 CSi E24 reproduces the #23 Gubin Sport livery E. Strycek drove to a 1984 DPM win. Diecast metal construction and a genuine championship-winning result set it apart from a plain period repaint.

German production-based touring car racing in the mid-1980s ran on cars close enough to the showroom to feel relevant, and this Gubin Sport 635 CSi represents exactly that link between road car and race winner.

A DPM Winner from the E24 Era

The Deutsche Produktionswagen Meisterschaft gave privateer teams a route into serious BMW competition without the budgets of full works touring car programmes, and E. Strycek's 1984 win in the #23 Gubin Sport car is exactly the kind of result that championship produced. The 635 CSi's long coupe body, shared in silhouette with its road-going counterpart, made it a natural fit for a series built around production-derived machinery rather than heavily modified silhouette racers. Placed next to the marque's more famous ETCC entries from the same period, this Gubin Sport livery tells a smaller but no less genuine story, a national-level championship win rather than an international headline.

Diecast Construction for a Documented Result

At 1:18, the coupe body runs to around 24-25cm, consistent with other E24-generation touring cars in the range. Minichamps' diecast metal shell holds the Gubin Sport sponsor graphics flat and legible, an important consideration for a livery built from solid colour blocks rather than fine linework. Opening doors, typical of this construction, expose the roll cage and simplified cockpit trim beneath. As a subject, it suits a collector who values documented results over headline recognition, a genuine 1984 championship win priced within the accessible diecast tier rather than a premium resin bracket.
