MUNCLE MIKES COLLECTOR GUIDE

2010 BMW M3 — 2011 Red PR5

The red car at the front right has PR5 wheels, with paired spokes around the rim. Behind it, the red Y5 car provides a direct comparison. The paint is similar enough that the wheels need to do the identifying.

A road car worth checking wheel by wheel

A January 2013 collector article identifies the PR5 car as a variation of the 2011 red recolor and reports it in gift packs. The comparison does not document the pack’s toy number, so this guide does not assign T9980 to that packaging.

Choosing one for your collection

Request both side views and an underside photo when checking a loose car. Look at axle and base fastening condition before treating a different wheel set as a factory variation.

Neither original gift-pack packaging nor companion vehicles are pictured. The source documents the occurrence, not a production count or a current market value.

Collector questions

Which red car has the PR5 wheels?

The front-right car. The rear-left car uses Y5 wheels. The paired photograph makes the wheel patterns easier to compare than separate angled listings.
