Tamiya 58385 BMW 320si WTCC 2006 Collector's TT-01 Kit  [58385]

Replica of a touring car classic

The BMW 320si WTCC 2006 is recreated here as a scale model representing the touring car that contested the 2006 World Touring Car Championship. The full-size car ran a 2-litre inline four producing roughly 275 horsepower and achieved notable results with drivers Jorg Muller and Dirk Muller, including a narrow second place in the standings.

TT-01 underpinnings and handling

Built on the TT-01 chassis, the Tamiya 58385 kit is designed for ease of assembly and dependable on-road behaviour. The shaft-driven 4WD system, bathtub style chassis, coil spring dampers and independent double wishbones combine to deliver a composed driving feel. Sealed differentials front and rear maintain smooth power transfer.

Illumination and custom finishing

The kit includes LED head and tail lights for instant realism. Hobbyists can upgrade to the optional TLU-02 Light Control Unit for additional functions. Metalised light housings enhance detail, and the unpainted shell ships with decals for car No.42 driven by Jorg Muller, offering a good starting point for paint and performance upgrades.

The Tamiya 58385 BMW 320si WTCC 2006 suits modelers who like to combine period accuracy with practical upgrade paths. Its solid chassis and lighting detail make it ideal for track practice and display builds.
