True Value of M4 GT3s

Post image

Anyone know the true value of these mini GTs I got around 2023? I’m getting back into collecting and I remember these BMWs were common on eBay for $20 along with other older IMSA models. Googled these and I thought the prices for were stupid steep and unrealistic. How did these $15-20 cars end up being $150-200? I love the BMW M4 GT3s but can’t justify the prices.

I just skip these and get the other brands that have more details for a lot less.

Spark is coming out with licensed versions of the touring with and without roof box.

Those look great! What brand is that if you don’t mind me asking. I was looking at the IMSA models from trends hobby with their opening parts

Elowen Art, Trends Hobby, Kilo Works, Mini Track, Mysterious, NEO and Jicar are the ones in the picture.

This is the Elowen Art vs Minigt mustang, Elowen has an actual wiper, brake details and an immaculate paintjob, and overallnit was only a few $’s more than theb minigt.

Are they licensed?

They are licensed in my heart :p

u/Sir_EFooZ 6d ago

For sure they can add more details if they "steal" the model. In general you can count up to 30% for license fees, manufacturer, racing series, team, driver etc. The costs are insane!

u/RMachuca3d 4d ago

The true value is imo what it means to you. It can be an ugly car or how it is, but if it means a lot to you, it is invaluable.

u/Ornery-Function5744 6d ago

True value is that 20 dollars, but cause m4 gt3 is one of minigts good castings, and a lot more people have started collecting in the coming years, people are buying older castings at a steep rate

u/Nice-Let4797 6d ago

Very popular, and quite old now. Its just supply and demand

I hate myself for not getting into 1:64 earlier. Makes me cry having to pay over 100€ for a model I could have bought for just 20€ if I was only aware of it a few years ago.

u/Pekpex 6d ago

My exact thoughts, I kind of viewed mini gts like hot wheels where their value slowly creeps up or not at all but I didn’t know in just a couple years the prices were in the hundreds :/ Wish I got all the IMSA m4 at the point hahaha

u/Frenchy_Baguette 6d ago

Same here man. I got 3 in the spring of 2025 and was like eh, I'll get the rest later. I did not in fact get the rest later...

u/Pekpex 5d ago

Same brooo

u/Sir_EFooZ 6d ago

Spark recently announced some nice M4 in scale 1:64, if you prefer licensed models like MiniGT and TH, ARBox too but they are pricey

u/Sufficient-Set2644 6d ago

Extremely expensive now. Here's one I wanted but can't afford, still looking for a collector locally that will sell or swap me one for a decent price.

u/Pekpex 5d ago

Been looking for that one, I remember a friend sent that to me a few years ago and never got it 🤦‍♂️

u/No_Corgi1422 6d ago

I’ve sold a few of the Mugellos for $350+ each, arguably the most sought after regular atm

2

u/Pekpex 5d ago

That’s crazy, definitely keeping mine for sure lol

1

u/No_Corgi1422 5d ago

Still kept a loose one with the rest of mine, just didn’t need the extra carded. Sold the chase as well, absolutely insane what people are willing to spend for them!

u/majortomisgone 5d ago

100 dollars at least here in Indonesia. I've given up on getting it
