MCG's 1:18 diecast BMW 320 Group 5 #55 reproduces Harald Ertl's winning livery from DRM Hockenheim 1978. Cast as a sealed one-piece body, the flared silhouette bodywork and period graphics carry the model. A genuine winning-car pick for DRM and Group 5 collectors.
About the BMW 320 Group 5 #55 H. Ertl Winner DRM Hockenheim 1978 MCG 1:18
TL;DR: This MCG 1:18 diecast model reproduces the BMW 320 Group 5 #55, driven to victory by Harald Ertl at DRM Hockenheim in 1978. The body is a fixed one-piece diecast cast. A documented race-winning livery for the Group 5 shelf.
Winning liveries carry a different weight in a collection than generic racing schemes, and Harald Ertl's Hockenheim victory gives this particular 320 build genuine documented significance.
Diecast Weight on a Race-Winning Silhouette
Zinc alloy diecast gives this flared, wing-equipped 320 a satisfying heft that suits the drama of its Group 5 bodywork, and the sealed one-piece body means the whole model reads through its surface finish: sponsor decals registered accurately across the arches, the rear wing's clean mounting, and paint holding an even gloss over the tool's characteristically wider shutlines. Those slightly broader lines are the honest trade for the durability and weight diecast provides over a resin equivalent, and on a subject built for flat-out speed rather than close panel inspection, that trade suits the car's purpose well.
Hockenheim 1978 and the DRM Championship
The Deutsche Rennsport Meisterschaft produced some of the era's most visually extreme touring cars, and a Hockenheim victory during that period carried real prestige within German motorsport. Ertl's win adds a documented result to this replica, giving it more substance than a livery chosen purely for looks.
Collecting Documented Race Winners
This model rewards collectors who value provenance alongside visual appeal, sitting well within a themed run of DRM winners or Group 5 machinery from the late 1970s. Displayed with other period silhouette racers, it adds a genuine competitive result to a shelf built around this distinctive era of touring car racing.
