About the BMW 745i E23 Burgundy Red Metallic Touring Modelcars 1:18

TL;DR: The Touring Modelcars BMW 745i E23 1:18 is a diecast model of the 1984 executive saloon in Burgundy Red Metallic. It has opening parts and a metal body's weight, and it represents the first-generation 7 Series, a period piece for collectors of 1980s German luxury saloons.

Angular, upright and unmistakably early 1980s, the E23 was the first car to wear the 7 Series name. The Touring Modelcars BMW 745i E23 1:18 reproduces it in diecast with opening parts, a model for those who like their executive saloons dressed for the boardroom rather than the track.

Touring Modelcars BMW 745i E23 in Diecast with Opening Parts

Metal Weight and Moving Panels

Diecast gives the E23 the density a large saloon deserves: lifted from its tray, the mass registers at once and the model sits solidly on the shelf. The product data confirms opening parts, so the body can be displayed with panels open as well as closed, a useful angle on a luxury saloon. Moving panels require slightly wider gaps than a sealed casting, so expect shut lines to read a little looser than on a one-piece body. In exchange you get a model that rewards handling, with metal that holds its shape across decades.

Burgundy Red Metallic and Period Detail

The product name gives Burgundy Red Metallic, a deep colour that suits the E23's upright, squared-off lines. Under a direct lamp, look for fine, even metallic flake and a gloss that stays consistent across the long bonnet and flat flanks. Then check the twin kidney grille, where proportion matters: it should sit neatly within the nose and stay crisp, not heavy. Chrome-effect trim and badges are small areas that show how careful the finishing has been, and a close look rewards patience. Judge the stance last: a tall, upright saloon should sit squarely on its wheels.

The E23 and the Executive Saloon of the 1980s

The First 7 Series

The E23 introduced the 7 Series name in the late 1970s and remained in production into the mid-1980s, so a 1984 car sits in the later part of its run. Its angular shape came from the BMW design studio under Paul Bracq, and it gave BMW a flagship to set against the Mercedes S-Class. For collectors the E23 marks the point where the BMW range gained a luxury saloon at the top, and it explains the lineage that later 7 Series models grew from.

The 745i Badge

The 745i badge sat near the top of the early 7 Series line-up, which makes this model a flagship rather than a base car. A saloon with that status rewards a collector who wants the executive end of the era rather than the sporting end. It suits a themed shelf alongside other 1980s German luxury saloons, where the squared-off lines of the period line up nicely and the different manufacturers' approaches to grille, glass and bumper detail can be compared side by side.

Where the E23 Fits in a Period Collection

At 1:18 a large saloon takes real shelf depth, so allow room, especially if you want to display it with panels open. Handle the model low on the body and never force a panel past its stop. Keep it out of direct sunlight, which can dull metallic paint, and dust it with a soft brush. The first 7 Series pairs naturally with later generations of the same model line, or with period Mercedes saloons for a rivalry shelf. British collectors tend to prize boxes and completeness, so keep the packaging. For a metal-bodied executive saloon with opening parts, it is a fair model to buy.
