How to Recognize This Version
This wheel variation shares the T9696 body and release identity. The straight ten-spoke wheels distinguish it from the Y5-equipped white car; it has no separate toy code in the reviewed record.
Compare the wheels, body finish, front details, and side graphics together. A package reference can confirm which set a car came from, but it is not always the BMW’s own toy code.
The T9696 casting is shared by this family. The release or wheel-variation record identifies the exact version.
Physical Details
Check the hood vents, front grille, side vent, rear deck, wheels, interior, windows, and base. Record factory features separately from wheel swaps or other later changes.
When the exact wheel pattern matters, inspect both axles and the base marks. Do not identify a variation from body color alone.
Packaging Details
The series information above gives the release context. Check the package code and card details if you need to verify a carded example.
Any package photo on this page is secondary evidence. No package image is used to imply details that cannot be seen on the car.
