Where do you get these tiny minis from?

Recently bought a dark silver MCS and have started going to 'Mini days'. Been to a few events now and I've seen little replicas inside peoples cars stuck to the dash. Anyone know where they get them from? They are really small only about an inch long and I WANT ONE!

Most of my HO scale (1/87) ones are from Herpa, and are actually quite nice.

A quick search through the BMW section:

HERPA Miniaturmodelle GmbH - Online - Products
HERPA Miniaturmodelle GmbH - Online - Products
HERPA Miniaturmodelle GmbH - Online - Products

Even some R56s:

HERPA Miniaturmodelle GmbH - Online - Products
HERPA Miniaturmodelle GmbH - Online - Products

I think these are the same models that the dealership sells, but at a much lower price.

Even smaller

If you think thats small you should check out the 1/160 scale that Herpa sells in a two pack.
