About the BMW M1 Procar #6 N. Piquet 1979 Minichamps 1:18

TL;DR: Minichamps' 1:18 BMW M1 Procar #6 recreates Nelson Piquet's identical-spec racer from the 1979 BMW Procar Championship, a one-make series where Formula 1 drivers raced matched M1s at Grand Prix weekends. Diecast detail captures a genuinely unusual chapter of BMW's motorsport history.

BMW's answer to homologating a mid-engined supercar was unusual: build a one-make series so identical M1s could race Grand Prix drivers against each other on equal terms. This #6 car carries Nelson Piquet's number from that 1979 debut season.

The BMW Procar Championship's Unique Format

The Procar series ran as a support category to select Formula 1 rounds, giving BMW a stage to prove the M1's credentials while putting the sport's biggest names behind identically prepared cars, removing budget and equipment as variables. Nelson Piquet took part in that inaugural 1979 season, and the format's appeal was precisely its fairness, a rare case in motorsport where the machinery genuinely matched across the field. The M1 itself was BMW's first mid-engined production supercar, styled by Giugiaro and built to homologate a racing program, which makes a Procar-liveried example a direct link between a road-going design exercise and top-tier competition.

Minichamps' Detail Work on a Motorsport Rarity

Minichamps has built its name on faithfully reproducing period racing liveries, and the Procar M1's clean number-and-sponsor graphics leave little room for shortcuts. This 1:18 diecast captures the M1's wedge-shaped profile and functional rear wing with panel lines and printed graphics sharp enough to hold up under close inspection, the standard collectors expect from a manufacturer whose reputation rests on motorsport accuracy rather than mass-market volume.

A Notable Chapter for a One-Make Racing Shelf

This M1 Procar sits naturally alongside other late-1970s BMW motorsport pieces or a broader one-make racing theme, a car whose story is as much about the format it raced in as the machine itself.
