About the BMW M1 #90 Pooh Jeans M. Surer Procar Series 1980 Minichamps 1:18
TL;DR: Minichamps' 1:18 diecast BMW M1 #90, Pooh Jeans livery, driven by M. Surer in the 1980 Procar Series, opens doors and hood over its mid-mounted engine layout. This used model's box shows traces of storage. Procar remains a distinctive footnote in BMW's motorsport history.
BMW built the M1 as a mid-engine homologation special, and the Procar Series gave it a one-make racing stage that briefly ran as a support category to Formula 1 weekends.
Diecast Livery Detail on a Race-Prepared M1
The Pooh Jeans sponsorship livery gives this M1 bold, period-correct graphics that Minichamps reproduces with sharp registration against the base body color, important on a race car whose identity depends on accurate sponsor detailing. Doors and hood open, revealing the mid-mounted engine layout that made the M1 mechanically distinct from BMW's front-engine road cars of the era. Zinc alloy construction gives the model genuine weight, and diecast tolerances hold the livery lines cleanly despite the wider shut lines typical of metal casting. As a used example, this piece carries prior handling history, and the box shows traces of storage consistent with a model that has already spent time in a collector's display.
Why the Procar Series Matters to BMW Collectors
Procar ran identically prepared M1s in a single support series during the early 1980s, drawing Formula 1 drivers into direct competition on the same weekends as the grand prix itself. That format made Procar a genuinely unusual chapter in motorsport, and M. Surer's participation ties this specific livery to a documented moment in the series.

This model suits a BMW-focused or one-make-racing themed collection, its distinctive sponsor livery and mid-engine layout setting it apart from the brand's more common road-car replicas.
