About the BMW 635 CSi E24 #9 Hollinger / P. Giroix Garage du Bac 24 Hours of Spa 1984 Minichamps 1:18

TL;DR: Minichamps' 1:18 diecast BMW 635 CSi E24 reproduces Garage du Bac's #9 car driven by Hollinger and Giroix at the 1984 24 Hours of Spa. Diecast construction suits the E24's broad-shouldered Group A bodywork, BMW's touring flagship after the 3.0 CSL.

When the 3.0 CSL bowed out of top-level touring car racing, the E24-generation 635 CSi took over as BMW's flagship, carrying the marque's competition ambitions through the Group A era.

Diecast Bodywork of a Group A Flagship

This 635 CSi's diecast shell carries the wider arches and more angular, boxier lines that separated Group A-era touring cars from their 1970s predecessors, a visibly different silhouette from the earlier CSL despite sharing the same basic coupé formula. Garage du Bac's livery, along with the #9 number and period sponsor branding for Hollinger and Giroix, is reproduced with the sharp tampo printing this scale demands. The model's stance and wider track reflect the more aggressive aerodynamic and mechanical development Group A rules encouraged through the mid-1980s, a step up in outright aggression from the earlier generation of BMW touring coupés.

Hollinger, Giroix and Endurance Racing at Spa

The 24 Hours of Spa remained one of Europe's toughest touring car tests through the 1980s, and BMW's E24 platform proved a durable, competitive base for privateer and semi-works teams alike. Garage du Bac fielded this 635 CSi in period colours for Hollinger and Giroix, part of a grid that mixed factory-backed efforts with independent entries chasing outright endurance results. That mix of privateer effort and serious factory-derived hardware is typical of Group A racing at Spa during this era.

Paired with an earlier BMW E9 or CSL, this 635 CSi traces the marque's touring flagship through three distinct competition generations.
