Anyone knows of any maker of this little BMW in 15mm?

You could paint the driver with a red hat with a bell on top and give the passenger big ears!!!!!!!!!!

that car is really awesome for pulpyness!

an earlier version of the sdkfz line, the sdkfz 13, is also a great option, and I think I saw this vehicle in 28mm in a magazine!

Dunno about a 28mm version of the Kfz 13 or 14 as yet, but I'm about to start with making the master for a resin version... watch for future news.

Thanks for that link. It's no bigger than a motorcycle and sidecar!

A little more research and I discovered that the BMW Dixi is actually a license produced version of the Austin 7.  There are loads of Austin 7 diecasts out there and I have managed to pick up on ebay cheap the Models of Yesteryear 3 car boxed set.  

Pictures show several different Dixi variants in use - some with the sloping speedster rear end, some with the blunt square end and some with a boot.  Doors and windscreens seem optional. The only definite fixture seems to be the spare wheel fitted on the left hand side.

All I need now is a little conversion work and some seated germans in 28mm as crew.  Any ideas where I could get some from?

Nope- I can't find the Company B now either- maybe just e-mail Brent and ask him? He had drivers, a commander and even the commander's tart!

The BAM ones are at http://www.boltactionminiatures.co.uk/product.php?ItemID=42.
