About the BMW 635CSi E24 BMW Italia #1 U. Grano / H. Kelleners Spa 1983 Minichamps 1:18

TL;DR: This Minichamps 1:18 diecast BMW 635CSi E24 reproduces BMW Italia's #1 touring car entry, driven by Umberto Grano and Helmut Kelleners at Spa in 1983. Diecast opening features and period-correct livery detail suit a European touring car racing collection.

BMW's E24 coupe found a second life on the touring car grids of the early 1980s, and BMW Italia's efforts were among the more visible privateer-adjacent entries of that scene.

A Touring Car Livery Built for Close Inspection

BMW Italia's #1 identity carries the sponsor detailing typical of early-1980s touring car racing, and this diecast model reproduces those graphics with the crisp edges a serious race replica needs. The 635CSi's long-bonneted coupe shape, already elegant as a road car, gains a purposeful edge from the wheel arch extensions and lowered stance typical of period touring car preparation, and the diecast body opens at the doors, exposing a stripped racing cabin distinct from any road-going 635 casting. At around 23 centimetres, the model's proportions carry the same long-hood, short-cabin balance that made the E24 one of BMW's more graceful shapes of the era.

Grano, Kelleners and the Spa Round

Umberto Grano and Helmut Kelleners shared this 635CSi for BMW Italia at Spa in 1983, part of the European Touring Car Championship's demanding calendar that mixed factory-backed teams with well-organised national squads. BMW's coupes were genuinely competitive in this era, a period before the M3 arrived to take over BMW's touring car ambitions entirely.

A Pre-M3 Touring Car for a BMW Collection

This 635CSi fits naturally into a BMW motorsport display that traces the marque's touring car pedigree back before the M3 became the default subject for that theme.
