The Hot Wheels 1983 BMW 733i, product number JHW81, is a 1:64 scale collectible model car from the Hot Wheels Premium line, released in 2026 as part of the Pop Culture: Stranger Things series. This die-cast toy is aimed at collectors of German youngtimers, fans of the BMW brand, and viewers of the series Stranger Things.

The 1983 BMW 733i casting was designed for Mattel by Rob Matthes, and it debuted in this very series in 2026—JHW81 is therefore the first release of this casting. The body is finished in burgundy. The detailing includes refined headlights, taillights, trim, and a license plate with the designation "3DS4672." The base of the toy car is made of metal and painted black, the windows are clear, and the interior is beige. The model rolls on RREURO wheels with rubber Real Riders tires. Production takes place in Indonesia. The model was created as part of a collaboration between Hot Wheels and the series Stranger Things. Stranger Things is a series created by the Duffer Brothers for the Netflix platform, which premiered on July 15, 2016, and is set in the fictional town of Hawkins, Indiana, in the 1980s. The production is breaking viewership records—the third season was watched by 40.7 million households in the first four days and 64 million in the first month, setting a record for the most-watched original Netflix series. The burgundy paint and beige interior replicate the vehicle in a version fitting the 1980s setting depicted in the series, and the entire release is available exclusively in a limited premium line. The original is the first generation of the BMW 7 Series, designated by the code E23 and styled by Paul Bracq and Manfred Rennen; the model entered production in 1977 as the brand's flagship limousine. The E23 debuted with many innovations in the BMW lineup, including an onboard computer, service interval indicator, fault warning lights, a voice recorder, and advanced automatic air conditioning. It was also the first BMW to offer an ABS system, a driver's airbag, and a new front suspension design. The 733i variant was powered by a 3.2-liter M30B32 inline-six engine, produced from 1977 to 1984, which transmitted power to the rear axle. Pop Culture series releases are distinguished by their metal base, rubber tires, and limited availability. The debut of the new casting combined with the popular Netflix franchise makes the JHW81 a sought-after item for both BMW collectors and fans of the series.
