About the BMW 3.5 CSL E9 #59 P. Gregg Winner Daytona 24 Hours 1976 Minichamps 1:18

TL;DR: Minichamps' 1:18 diecast BMW 3.5 CSL E9 reproduces the #59 Peter Gregg entry that won the 1976 Daytona 24 Hours. Finished in period racing livery, it represents BMW's IMSA-era touring car campaign well and suits a 1970s endurance racing display shelf.

The CSL earned its 'Batmobile' nickname from the wings and spoilers bolted onto the E9 coupe for European and American touring car racing. This 1:18 diecast captures that winged silhouette in the livery that carried Peter Gregg's #59 to victory at Daytona.

BMW's Winged CSL and the 1976 Daytona Win

The 3.5 CSL belongs to a family of E9 coupes that BMW pushed hard into European and North American touring car racing through the 1970s, adding the aerodynamic addons that gave the shape its enduring nickname. Homologation rules forced BMW to sell a small run of the wing package for the street, but the real purpose was always the track, where the CSL's power-to-weight advantage made it a fixture at the front of the grid. Daytona's 24 Hours drew a mixed field of IMSA GT and touring car entries, and the #59 car's win there sits among the CSL's strongest results outside its European Touring Car Championship form. That IMSA-era racing history is exactly why a period livery like this one carries weight beyond its colour scheme, and it sets up the kind of manufacturing detail a collector wants to see reproduced faithfully in scale.

Minichamps' Diecast Detailing for a 1970s Livery

Minichamps has built one of the deepest motorsport livery catalogues in 1:18 diecast, and this CSL benefits from that specialism in the tampo-printed sponsor graphics and wing decals that period touring cars carried. The diecast body gives the model real heft compared with plastic alternatives, and doors and bonnet typically open on this class of build, letting a buyer inspect the cabin without disturbing the exterior finish. It sits at a mid-tier diecast price point rather than premium hand-built resin, an honest trade-off that keeps a detailed period livery accessible. On a shelf built around 1970s IMSA GT or European touring cars, this CSL reads clearly as part of that era's story rather than a generic race car shape.
