Hot Wheels 2020 - HWC / RLC Exclusive - 2006 BMW M3 E46 - Spectraflame Anti-Freeze Yellow - Metal/Metal & Real Riders - Opening Hood - Limited to 20,000 - Toy # GLH84

The 2006 BMW M3 E46 was the third generation of the M3. HWC was proud to offer a new, opening-hood version of this casting for the Red Line Club. Released at HWC on 2/2/21.

The original automobile offered a new engine that could go from 0 to 60 in 5.1 seconds! The suspension and braking systems were heavily modified, improving cornering and stopping performance. You’ll have to try this casting out on track to see if you get similar results.

Besides the opening hood, this edition features fine details, 10-spoke Real Riders wheels, and a Spectraflame yellow finish which pays homage to the much-discussed Phoenix metallic yellow finish offered on the 1:1 version. She’s a beauty!
