Miniature BMW M Roadster for Scale Builders

The Tamiya 58240 1/10 BMW M Roadster M-04L reproduces the classic roadster silhouette in accurate scale. The kit focuses on clean exterior lines and driving character so scale model fans can recreate a genuine M Roadster presence.

M-04L Layout and Handling Traits

The M-04L platform gives rear-wheel-drive behaviour and uses a polycarbonate monocoque frame to keep structure light yet durable. The four wheel independent double wishbone suspension delivers predictable control and precise wheel tracking for smooth driving sessions.

Scale Accuracy in Panels and Cab

The clear polycarbonate body captures the M Roadster profile and accepts detailed painting and finishing. Interior features are modelled to add realism when you complete the cockpit and trim during the build.

Great for Modelers and Display

Builders who enjoy careful assembly and scale finishing will find the Tamiya 58240 rewarding. It pairs well with a standard 2-channel radio control unit (sold separately) for straightforward operation after the build is complete.
