Touring Car Legacy reimagined

The BMW 320si WTCC 2006 recreates a key chapter in touring car racing history. This scale model mirrors the competition sedan that raced in the 2006 World Touring Car Championship, whose production counterpart used a 2-liter inline 4-cylinder engine rated at about 275 horsepower. Team Germany campaigned the car with drivers Jorg Muller and Dirk Muller, and Jorg narrowly finished second in the championship by a single point.

TT-01 Platform and driveline

The Tamiya 58385 kit sits on the TT-01 chassis, a lightweight, approachable platform prized for straightforward builds. Its shaft-driven 4WD layout uses a bathtub style frame, coil-sprung dampers and independent double wishbones for predictable handling. Sealed differential gearboxes front and rear help keep the drivetrain smooth and reliable for road circuits and club track sessions.

Factory LEDs and body personalisation

This kit comes with fitted LEDs for authentic headlight and taillight illumination when power is applied. For more advanced control, hobbyists can fit the optional TLU-02 Light Control Unit. Metal-plated lamp housings boost realism, and the unpainted bodyshell arrives with decals for car No.42 as run by Jorg Muller, giving a ready base for customised paint and additional tuning parts.

The Tamiya 58385 BMW 320si WTCC 2006 is well suited to builders who enjoy a mix of historical accuracy and practical engineering. Its flexible chassis and LED fitment make it a strong choice for new modellers and experienced racers tuning their on-road setup.

Is the Tamiya 58385 a good first kit?

Yes. The TT-01 chassis is known for straightforward assembly and predictable handling, so it is often recommended for beginners learning the basics of RC building and setup.

How do the lights work out of the box?

The kit includes simple LED head and tail lamps that light when the model is powered. For sequencing or independent control you can add the TLU-02 Light Control Unit sold separately.

Can I paint and decal the body easily?

Yes. The body is supplied unpainted with decals, making it straightforward to mask, airbrush or hand-paint and then apply the included markings, such as car No.42.

What common upgrades do owners choose?

Owners often upgrade motors, dampers or gear sets to refine speed and handling. Tamiya offers many tune-up parts compatible with the TT-01 layout to suit different driving preferences.
