Thanks for showing the poster Steve and gives us an idea what pictures appeared on these German picture boxes. Interestingly a quick look would suggest that the #45 image is the only one the simulates the model in motion. I wonder why they didnt make more effort with the pictures of the other models in the range.

I would assume it was rigged up in someway on the blind side of the model.

Wonder why they posed the BMW like that, because the background to me appears very race track, so why have a car driving off what appears to be a roof top, very odd marketing picture. If it had been a Mini it could easily have been a scene out of the Italian Job film... :)
