About the BMW M1 Procar BS Fabrications #5 N. Piquet Procar Series 1980 Minichamps 1:18

TL;DR: Minichamps' 1:18 diecast BMW M1 Procar reproduces the BS Fabrications #5 car driven by Nelson Piquet in the 1980 Procar Series. The model has opening parts. A mid-engined one-make racer tied to Piquet's rise toward Formula 1 stardom.

The Procar Series ran alongside Formula 1 weekends and put grand prix drivers behind the wheel of identical M1s, and Nelson Piquet's participation here comes just before he broke through to championship success at the top level.

Opening Panels on the Procar Diecast

This M1 is built with opening parts rather than a sealed shell, giving access to the cockpit and mechanical layout that a fixed casting would keep hidden. The panels move with the deliberate resistance a well-tooled diecast hinge should carry, settling into an open position rather than swinging freely, which lets the model be posed for closer inspection or photography. The zinc alloy body still carries genuine weight, and the BS Fabrications livery's decal work is tampo-printed cleanly onto the mid-engined silhouette that made the M1 so distinctive against the front-engined GT cars of its day.

A Future Champion in a Support Series

The Procar Series gave Formula 1 drivers a genuine, closely matched competition on identical machinery, and Nelson Piquet's involvement in 1980, the year before his first Formula 1 title, gives this specific livery real career context. For a collector focused on Piquet's early years or on the Procar concept itself, the model's opening features add tactile display value beyond the livery alone, letting the cockpit and mechanical package be examined rather than only viewed from the outside.
