Miniature Open-Top BMW with Scale Detail

The Tamiya 58240 1/10 BMW M Roadster M-04L recreates the open-top sporting look of the full-size M Roadster. The kit focuses on proportionate bodywork and a driving layout that reflects the original car's dynamics.

M-04L Chassis and Driving Characteristics

The M-04L chassis provides a rear-wheel-drive setup mounted to a polycarbonate monocoque frame for a balance of stiffness and light weight. The design uses a four wheel independent double wishbone suspension to maintain tyre contact and improve steering precision.

Accurate Body Moulding and Interior Touches

The clear polycarbonate body is formed to mirror the M Roadster profile and accepts detailed paint and finishing work. Interior components are modelled to let builders add realistic cockpit touches during the build.

Good Choice for Display or Gentle Racing

The Tamiya 58240 suits collectors and drivers who appreciate scale accuracy and steady on-track behaviour. A 2-channel radio control unit is required and sold separately to complete the running setup.
