Default Campaign for a proper 318ti diecast model

I like to collect diecast cars, but as we all know there's not much available for ti's. So here's an idea:

There's a model company called Otto-Mobile that has produced many different models of "unusual" cars that other companies won't touch. I think they'd be our best chance. They already have a pretty good lineup of BMWs (http://www.otto-models.com/index.php...category&id=19), including a couple E36s so it could be worth a shot if we show our interest! (email, facebook, etc.)

I already posted on their Facebook a couple weeks back suggesting the M3 Compact Concept (https://www.facebook.com/Ottomodels/...26420760701351). I chose to suggest that as it could potentially have more appeal to general diecast collectors and BMW fans, therefore possibly a better candidate for them from a business standpoint.

This is nothing certain, we're just making a suggestion for them to possibly consider.
Let's try not to overwhelm them and spam about it too much all at once though

Their website: http://www.otto-models.com/index.php/en/home
Their Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/Ottomodels
