The model car depicted here in a 1/18 scale, manufactured by Paragon, represents a modified version of the BMW F30 335i. This is not the originally produced product by the manufacturer. The most noticeable modifications include the tuning kit from Hamann, which is clearly visible through the front spoiler, side skirts, and rear spoiler. These attachments give the model a sportier look and a pronounced aggressiveness. "Hamann" logos are printed on the side skirts and the front lower spoiler, indicating the customization by this specialized tuning company.
The model car features a white paint job combined with a black roof and red interior details, visible through the windows. The contrast between the white body and the black roof gives the vehicle a striking appearance. Additionally, high-quality Hamann wheels are installed, which are kept in a plain black color and complement the sporty overall look. The mirror caps and window frames in high gloss are also noticeable, harmoniously completing the exterior. These details make the model car a particularly attractive collector's item for BMW and model car enthusiasts worldwide.
