One thing I would do to these cars when the silver wheel paint faded off would be to repaint the wheels, as you can see. This car has a lot of miles on it.

Oddly enough, the other car in the racetrack set was a Pontiac Trans Am.
Just found a pic of what it looked like when new...I remember it now:
Interesting pic you bring up there. Around 1960 Tootsie brought out a line of more detailed Matchbox-sized cars to compete with the British makers. These were meant to be more detailed than their simple little cast metal cars. This effort was a flop, but survivors remain. I have one of these, a Caddy 62 much like the larger model above. It is maybe 1:65 scale:
And speaking of Matchbox BMWs, here's one I remember very well, and I am sure Boomchek does too. This model of an E30 Baur cabrio was made in many paint variants.
But I do remember and I even have a red one that I picked up at a flea market a few years ago.,

Last I heard the car was on its fourth owner and at 310K it finally needed a head gasket...

That one is identical to mine except that I had fitted E34 alloys in lieu of those gorgeous-and uber expensive-three piece BBS wheels.

I'm pretty sure a diecast model of a W210 E55 is about the hardest thing to find relative to the performance of the car and hype when new...none made when new that I know of, nothing now that I know of. Fujimi made a 1:24 kit of a pre-facelift model, that's it.
I happen to have one from about 2002 same color as yuor E55, but I think with a Nasa signage on it?

They made a 208 CLK convertible based on that model too, the convertible actually turned out decently.

Hot Wheels made a W124 wagon, it looks worse in person, at least the one I have
:-)

Perhaps, but their quality and level of detail borders on unacceptable for those of us who are choosy.

Most Bburago models were also pretty flawed in the small details, but back in the day I really liked them anyway.
NewRay is producing sort of 1/2 diecast stuff of varying middle range quality. I bought a kit of an early Dodge Challenger in 1/32 that turned out ok. At that time there were not many good Challengers around that size, and I did not want anything bigger. In fact, I was hoping for a 1/43.
Signature Models (http://www.signature-models.com/) seem to be producing a much higher quality product, but I expect that there are some plastic pieces in them too. The prices are quite low. I have not actually seen one outside its box yet, but parts fit and accuracy look really good. They are making 1/32 and 1/18 scales, and some really unusual selections, like the "1938 Buick convertable", the "1933 Pierce Silver Arrow" and a "1947 Delahaye 135M".
Walmart has been selling the 1/32 cars around $9.00 Cdn, and the 1/18 cars around $30.00 Cdn. Look for some interesting features on these models as well, like center hinges on the hoods of the 1930 range cars.

Lego attempts at actual cars always look odd. That Beetle looks like a 30s KdF prototype.
When I was 9 or 10 I had a Technic go-kart that I thought was pretty awesome.
I had this one:
But I really wanted this one:
It had an internal combustion engine with moving pistons, a gearbox, and a working suspension.

I was always much more into creating buildings, and that was my only Technic set.
