About the BMW M1 Procar #5 Project Four Racing N. Lauda Procar Series 1979 Minichamps 1:18

TL;DR: This Minichamps 1:18 diecast reproduces the BMW M1 Procar #5, entered by Project Four Racing in the 1979 Procar Series with N. Lauda driving. The larger scale gives this one-make racer's mid-engined proportions genuine shelf presence.

The BMW M1 Procar Series was a genuinely unusual chapter in motorsport, and Project Four Racing, the outfit that would later become McLaren International, gives this particular car a strong provenance story.

1:18 Diecast Scale on a Mid-Engined Racer

At 1:18, the M1's low, wide stance and mid-engined proportions carry real shelf presence, something a smaller-scale single-seater or saloon simply cannot match. The zinc alloy body keeps panel lines along the M1's distinctive wedge shape tight, and the race livery, including sponsor decals and the #5 number, is applied with clean registration. Diecast at this scale allows for genuine weight in the hand, and the M1's flat rear deck and side intakes are rendered with correct proportion rather than smoothed over for tooling ease. The Procar Series ran identically prepared cars for a mix of Formula 1 drivers and touring car specialists, and a correctly detailed livery is essential to identifying which entry a given model represents.

A Serious BMW Motorsport Piece

This model rewards collectors with a specific interest in either BMW's motorsport history or the Procar Series itself, a short-lived but well-remembered format that ran as a support category to European Grands Prix in 1979 and 1980. Displayed alongside other Procar entries, it helps recreate a genuinely distinctive grid; displayed alone, its scale and stance still make it a strong standalone piece. At 1:18, it commands more shelf space than the smaller commercial and F1 models in this range, so plan cabinet placement accordingly, and keep it out of direct sunlight to protect the printed sponsor livery over time.
