MCG's 1:18 diecast BMW 2000 wears green, a period-correct alternative to the more commonly reproduced saloon colours of the 1960s. Chrome window surrounds and bumpers stand out clearly against the darker paint on this Neue Klasse-era model.
TL;DR: MCG's 1:18 diecast BMW 2000 reproduces the Neue Klasse saloon in green, a period-correct colour that sets off the car's chrome trim more distinctly than brighter alternatives. A specialist diecast piece covering one of the range-topping engines in BMW's foundational 1960s saloon lineup.
Green was never the loudest colour choice for a 1960s German saloon, but it was a genuine period option, and it does something red rarely can: let the chrome do the talking.
Chrome Detail Against a Darker Body Colour
A darker body colour changes what a diecast model asks you to look at, and on this green BMW 2000 the chrome window surrounds, door handles, and bumper work catch the light in a way they simply don't against a brighter factory red. MCG's paintwork holds an even, slightly matte depth across the bonnet and boot lid rather than a glossy sheen, which suits the saloon's honest, unfussy lines better than a showroom shine would. Panel gaps around the doors and boot stay tight and consistent, a level of fit that matters more on a car with this much flat, unbroken bodywork than it would on something with dramatic curves to distract the eye. Lifted from the box, the model has the dense, solid feel diecast construction typically delivers, appropriate for a saloon built on genuinely robust 1960s engineering.
The 2000's Place Within BMW's Neue Klasse Range
The 2000 designation identified this as one of the larger-engined cars within BMW's Neue Klasse range, sitting above the smaller-displacement variants that shared the same body and chassis. That range structure, several engine options under one well-proportioned saloon shape, established a formula BMW would return to again and again in the decades that followed, right through to the modern 3 Series and 5 Series hierarchy. Getting to know the Neue Klasse range properly means understanding that it was never a single car but a family of them, and the 2000 sat toward the more capable end of that family. For a collector already holding the red version of this casting, adding green is less about repeating the same model and more about representing a different point in how BMW originally offered it. Together, the two colours make a small but genuine statement about how varied BMW's earliest saloon range actually was.
