Default Any BMW X5 bodies out there?

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.

Hi, there were a couple of 1:8 BMW X6 hard body rc's at my local hobby store (in Greece). If you want I can send you.

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.

Yeh sounds interesting, just curious on wheelbase and width first. And of course then postage value to Australia

Whoops, I gave wrong measurements.
I wrote the full-size measurements instead of the scale ones.

I updated my post with the correct ones.
