About the BMW M1 Procar #27 BMW Motorsport A. Jones Procar Series 1979 Minichamps 1:18

TL;DR: This 1:18 diecast reproduces Alan Jones' #27 BMW M1 from the 1979 BMW Motorsport Procar Series. Minichamps' diecast build captures the identical-specification cars that raced alongside select F1 weekends that year, an unusual and specific slice of motorsport history.

Procar's format, identical BMW M1s racing as a support series featuring F1 drivers themselves, was unusual even by late-1970s standards, and this diecast documents a genuinely specific piece of that short-lived experiment.

Building a Wedge-Bodied M1 at 1:18

The M1's sharp, wedge-shaped Giugiaro-penned bodywork is a distinctive shape to model well, and the flared arches and rear spoiler fitted for Procar competition give this version a more aggressive stance than the road-going M1. Minichamps applies the BMW Motorsport livery by tampo print, keeping the sponsor branding and number 27 sharp across the doors and rear panel. As is typical for this diecast range at 1:18, the doors generally open to reveal a simplified racing cockpit, a moulded seat and roll cage detail rather than a fully wired survival cell. The zinc alloy body gives real weight in the hand, and the M1's low, flat roofline translates convincingly at this scale, a shape that still reads as distinctly BMW despite its unusual mid-engine layout for the brand.

A Specific Piece of Procar History

Because every Procar entrant ran an identical M1 chassis, collecting this series is really about collecting drivers and liveries rather than differing car specifications, which makes assembling a themed Procar grid a genuinely coherent project. Alan Jones went on to win the 1980 Formula 1 title, giving this earlier Procar entry added interest for anyone tracing his career before that championship year. Displayed alongside other Procar liveries from the same 1979 grid, this M1 tells a specific, self-contained story that few other one-make series from the era can match.
