About the BMW M1 E26 #51 F. Sytner Toleman Group Motorsport BMW M1 Procar Series 1979 Minichamps 1:18

TL;DR: Minichamps' 1:18 diecast reproduces the #51 BMW M1 E26 raced by Frank Sytner for Toleman Group Motorsport in the 1979 BMW M1 Procar Series, the one-make support championship staged alongside Formula 1 weekends. Livery-accurate diecast build suited to BMW motorsport and Procar-specific collections.

BMW built the M1 as a road car first, but it earned its name on Grand Prix support grids, where the Procar Series turned it into one of the era's most watched one-make categories.

A Grand Prix Support-Series Livery in 1:18

The BMW M1 Procar Series ran as a curtain-raiser at select 1979 and 1980 Formula 1 rounds, giving M1 owners and invited F1 drivers a shared grid in identically prepared cars. Minichamps' diecast captures the M1's wedge-shaped Giugiaro body cleanly, with the mid-engine proportions and low roofline holding correct stance rather than the slightly bloated look lower-tier reproductions sometimes give supercars of this period. Toleman Group Motorsport's livery on this #51 car carries tampo-printed sponsor graphics with sharp edges along the car's flat door panels, and the doors and rear engine cover open on this build, exposing the M1's mid-mounted straight-six behind the driver.

Frank Sytner and the Procar Grid's Character

Procar grids mixed gentleman racers and factory-backed teams with the Formula 1 stars themselves, which gave the series a depth of competition unusual for a one-make category. Frank Sytner's involvement with BMW motorsport extended well beyond this single season, and this Toleman-run entry documents the M1 at its competitive peak rather than as a static showroom exhibit. For a collector tracking BMW's motorsport history through the M1's brief but well-remembered racing career, a genuine Procar-liveried entry like this one anchors that story more directly than a road-car diecast ever could.
