Hot Wheels Elite64 1990 BMW 318i Touring

The Hot Wheels 1990 BMW 318i Touring (product number HNJ60) is a 1:64 scale collectible model from the Hot Wheels Elite 64 line, released in 2024 as item No. 8 in the series. Elite 64 represents the top tier of the Hot Wheels catalog—a line aimed at adult collectors, featuring extensive detail, rubber tires, and a metal base. We direct this model to enthusiasts of classic German automotive engineering, fans of the E30 body style, and collectors looking for a model with opening features.

The 1990 BMW 318i Touring casting was designed for Mattel by Brendon Vetuskey, debuting in 2024 specifically within the Elite 64 line—HNJ60 is the only release of this casting from 2024. The model depicts a modified 318i wagon and features a removable hood, under which lies a detailed 3.2-liter inline-six BMW S54 engine—a powerplant that originally came from the M3, not the 318i. Brendon Vetuskey originally wanted the hood to be completely removable; the marketing department insisted on keeping the hood attached, so a compromise was eventually reached. The example is finished in white paint with detailed trim, BMW M stripes on the sides of the body, and a license plate reading "ON TOUR." The base is black metal, the windows are tinted in a smoke shade, and the interior is black. The model rolls on dedicated Bespoke RR wheels with rubber Real Riders tires. It is manufactured in China.

The real BMW 3 Series is a compact executive car produced by BMW since 1975. The E30 generation, the second in the model's history, was designed by Claus Luthe and Boyke Boyer and was produced between 1982 and 1994 in many body styles—it was during this generation that the BMW M3 debuted. The 318i wagon version, to which this casting refers, was produced between 1989 and 1994; the car measures 170.28 inches in length, 64.76 inches in width, and 54.33 inches in height with a weight of 2601.45 lbs, and is powered by an inline four-cylinder engine paired with a 5-speed manual transmission.

The Hot Wheels 1990 BMW 318i Touring HNJ60 is a standout addition to any display case—the removable hood with its detailed S54 engine and BMW M stripes make it one of the more interesting models in the Elite 64 line, which is released in very limited production runs.
