About the BMW M1 Motul #10 B. Darniche / A. Mahe Rally Tour de Corse 1982 IXO 1:18

TL;DR: IXO's 1:18 diecast BMW M1 Motul #10, driven by Bernard Darniche and Alain Mahe at Rally Tour de Corse 1982, reproduces one of the era's more unusual rally entries. The sealed diecast body holds crisp period livery and tight panel lines. A distinctive piece for collectors of Group B and Group A Legends rally history.

The M1 was built primarily as a homologation special for circuit racing, making its appearance on the demanding tarmac stages of Tour de Corse a genuinely unusual and notable chapter in the car's competition history.

Diecast Precision on a Distinctive Rally Shape

The M1's low, wedge-shaped body is a departure from the boxier rally cars typically found in this era's competition lineup, and IXO's sealed body captures the car's sharp creases and low nose as one continuous, well-defined form. The Motul livery's period sponsor branding sits cleanly registered along the flat door panels, and the zinc-alloy construction gives the wedge-shaped body real weight and stability on display. Sealed construction keeps the shutlines tight around the doors, and the car's low, purposeful stance comes through clearly, a genuinely different silhouette than the boxier Escorts and Lancias sharing the same competitive era.

A Distinctive Piece for Group B Era Collectors

The M1's use in tarmac rallying is a genuinely uncommon subject compared with the more frequently modeled gravel-stage specialists of the period, making this a discovery piece for collectors of the Group B and Group A Legends category. At roughly 20cm, its low, wedge-shaped stance provides real visual contrast against boxier rally cars from the same era. For anyone building a comprehensive display of this pivotal rallying period, this M1 entry adds a genuinely different engineering story to the mix.
