A very colourful and crisp display, wonderful. I love the three early regular wheel displays. Quite interesting how USA and UK marketed these displays or sets differently.
From the older to the new in the left hand corner is there any chance of some more detail and close up photo of the BMW set please as to when and where these were issued.

Thanks
Bert
Hi Bert,

Sure! Below are the BMW dealer promo set. It's from 2002 issued in Germany.

Thank you Ritchie, much appreciated.

Very nice.

That explains why we did not see them in Australia near me. I must show these to a couple of local BMW collectors here, they will be suitably impressed with these images.

All the best

Bert

Well, very nearly, the middle one, perhaps you can get the English version one Day so it is exact then you'll have a spare German display!

Hi Ritchie
thanks for sharing the pictures of your display boxes. In my 35 years of collecting, there are some I have never seen.
