The Legacy of the BMW 318i STW in RC Form

The Tamiya 58516 - 1/10 RC BMW 318i STW is more than just a model; it's a tribute to the iconic race car that clinched the 1995 Super Touren Wagen Cup title in Germany. This RC kit faithfully captures the essence of the original vehicle, featuring a meticulously crafted polycarbonate body that mirrors the sleek lines and aerodynamic design of the legendary BMW 318i. The separately molded side mirrors and rear wing add a layer of realism that will appeal to both collectors and racing enthusiasts alike.

Performance-Driven TT-01 Type-E Chassis
