Hot Wheels 2001 BMW M5 E39 — Casting Info & Complete Collector’s Guide
Reference guide to the Hot Wheels 2001 BMW M5 E39, a 1:64 casting first released in 2022. Four verified releases run through 2025, each identified by its toy number, finish, series context, and country.
Casting identity
The underside identifies this model as the 2001 BMW M5 E39. Do not confuse the car’s 2001 model designation with its Hot Wheels debut year: the first documented release in this casting family is the 2022 HCR52 issue.
The HWC Newsletter catalog lists four releases for this casting: HCR52, HKC52, HNL08, and JBY58. It separately lists six 2024 LA Convention Newsletter cars under a related casting; those are not included in this release family.

Read the toy number from the package or base, then match the color and series context. The white 2022 HCR52, red 2023 HKC52, blue convention HNL08, and metalflake-silver JBY58 are separate factory issues. Compare wheel treatment and country mark with each release record.
Physical details
This is a 1:64 Hot Wheels BMW M5 E39 casting. Its release records use distinct colors and wheel codes; the HCR52, HKC52, and HNL08 releases are Thailand- or China-made, while JBY58 is made in Indonesia. Keep those release details attached to the matching toy number rather than treating the family as one generic silver BMW.
