As a BMW acolyte I haven't been able to find any 1:10 scale BMW X5 bodies. Has anybody seen one or can point me in the right direction? I'm thinking if I cannot find one I might try to find the most realistic model and have it 3D scanned, then print body panels in pieces, join them together, and finish the surface. Sounds ambitious! |

As a BMW tech I've always wanted a x5 Rc also. It would have to the first gen e53 though. Still the best looking IMO

There are features from all three gens that I really like. E70 looks best from back quarter angle. F15 is very classy and Grand Cherokee-like. But I agree with Eric. The E53 looks dated now, but I still favor it.

IDK after building the E53 and E70 I kinda favor the new F15. Especially with the M package. I thought I seen a RC X5 at the Centrum at the plant before. I'll check and see if they have any next time I go out there.

Maybe because the E53 is the only one I can afford. Maybe because it resembles my E34 most. If I was offered one of the three for free, yes, I would take the F15. hateful, please let me know if you find anything. I'm surprised I haven't come across a larger X5 toy RC before. |

Sorry to bump an old thread, but do these bodies still exist? What sort of postage cost to Australia if so? |

These are still available as far as I know, I will post pictures when I return home. Shipping should not be too expensive and I can always remove chassis parts. If you are interested, let me know. Also, There are various colours available, silver for sure and then maybe red and blue, although I am not sure. |

Whoops, I gave wrong measurements. I wrote the full-size measurements instead of the scale ones. I updated my post with the correct ones. |
