Tamiya 58385 BMW 320si WTCC 2006 TT-01 Touring Replica  [58385]

Scaled touring car recreation

The BMW 320si WTCC 2006 model reflects the car that ran in the 2006 World Touring Car Championship. The production racer used a 2-litre inline 4-cylinder unit making approximately 275 horsepower, campaigned by Team Germany with drivers Jorg Muller and Dirk Muller, and Jorg finishing second in the title chase by one point.

TT-01 chassis details and handling traits

The Tamiya 58385 rests on the TT-01 chassis, noted for ease of build and sensible handling for road use. This shaft-driven 4WD platform uses a bathtub chassis, coil spring dampers and independent double wishbones to provide consistent control, while sealed differentials at both ends help maintain drivetrain reliability.

Lights, decals and personal touches

LEDs are supplied to reproduce realistic headlight and rear light effects on power-up. For advanced light functions you can fit the optional TLU-02 Light Control Unit. The metal plated lamp surrounds add scale detail, and the unpainted bodyshell is supplied with decals for car No.42 as driven by Jorg Muller, making it simple to personalise the livery and add performance parts.

The Tamiya 58385 BMW 320si WTCC 2006 is a practical choice for modellers who want a historically inspired on-road platform. Its adaptable chassis and factory lighting make it useful for both display and track tuning.
